Wow, that's a sharp looking "1". If I had seen that, you would have had some additional competition!

Congrats on the pickup!

I've been looking for a decent Houtteman for a while and figured it was time to act.

Stay well,

Mike, I was watching that Dihigo as well. Great pick up, I really like that card a lot.

Wow, nice pick up on the Houtteman. How long have you been looking for a good one? They don't come up that often do they?

Managed to win the Williards Chocolate Cobb. Only victory.

To find one that wasn't a total beater AND was in my price range AND when my wife wasn't looking took about fifteen years.😁

Congrats! I love this card.
I was an under bidder but quit awhile before the end to focus on losing other things.

Very nice and I agree it could've easily graded a 2 or 2.5 on any given day. Obviously other collectors, like you, were bidding on the card and not the number on the flip. That's a keeper!
