REA - How Did You Do?

[JimC]

I think I'm the one you outbid on the Standard Biscuit Rice. Incredible card and I collect Standard Biscuits but I got sucked into a war over a different card and had to make a choice. Glad it went to such a devoted collector. Those Rice rookies are just fantastic. Great job!

Being that I am working on a master set of Sam Rice's cards, I'm beyond stoked to have won 4 of the 5 1917 Sam Rice rookie cards, including my "Holy Grail" Sam Rice RC, the D350-2 Standard Biscuit, the only one in the combined pop reports. I saw this card in the PSA pop report several years ago and assumed I'd never have an opportunity to acquire it. I also didn't have Sam's 1917 blank-back RC. The other two RCs, the H801-8 Boston Store & D328 Weil Baking, are upgrades.

I love reading this thread.
I'm still amazed at the treasures that this auction had and the devoted collectors that went after their targets.

Jim C, that Herp Cobb is incredible!
Micah, terrific accomplishment on the 15CJ set!
Val...as everyone here agrees, those Rice cards belong with you.
VTGMSC (Mike)...Go Joe Jax! It's great to see a Vermonter in the vintage big leagues! (I lived there until 1998)

And to all the others, fantastic!
Looks as though the Net54 board did right well in this auction!

I am empty-handed. THough my wallet is not any lighter.
Anyone who picked up one or both of the N332 SF Hess lots, please LMK If you want to sell any of the track & field athletes/pedestrians. Thanks.
Best,
Ed

Ed I was going to up my bid but figured you were bidding and deserved them more. Oh well :-)
