Every time uncle Jimmy's auction ended I would wait a week and call and ask for Stacey to see when the next auction would start. Thanks for keeping his story alive.

Chuck, fantastic tribute to Uncle Jimmy, and incredible job over the past year with his collection. It's nice to call you a friend, and really appreciate you stopping by and letting me hold the Holy Grail of Ruth Goudey's this evening. The card is AMAZING!!!

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. We set out to get the story of Uncle Jimmy Uncle out to every collector and were shocked to learn that the story got to people around the world who just loved the story of Jimmy. With the crazy pandemic, it seemed like the story was a breath of fresh air to collectors and non collectors. It was translated into Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese print stories across the globe. I had a request to post some links to some of the news stories - here are a few of the many:

Please keep us updated throughout the day and tomorrow. Is there a place we can go online to see the bidding?

Serious question on grading as I don't own any graded cards and do not understand the system.
That signature is perfect. It is in the absolute perfect spot on the card as if it were printed there. The autograph obviously was not rushed or manipulated in any way. What could possibly cause it not to be a 10? How could it be improved?
