Had to show my family this article, just in case I find a Million dollar card!
Wow! Covid-19 does still suck though Jimmy

I once commented to another Net54er that, based on all the cards and collections I have seen on these Boards, my collection is in the "C/C- " range.
What I just perused of Dr. Newman's collection on the Memory Lane site just destroyed the grading curve... just really fantastic...and by all accounts he really enjoyed collecting it and sharing it

I'm only on page two, and I'm floored. His Turkey Red collection was ridiculous.
I certainly feel for his family (and yes, Covid sucks. One of my best friends lost his father, and his fiancee lost her father, as well), and it's clear he was loved and respected. A lot of people will see dollar signs with these cards. I see a man that pursued his passion, and pursued it with patience and great care. His was a life well-lived.

The quality of his collection is astounding. The opening bids are even more astounding. I love how only $100k opening bids or higher are moved up to the top #'d lots. There are lots in the middle of the auction that would headline most other auctions, like...
N162 Anson PSA 8 - Opening bid $25k, ho hum Cobb Green portrait SGC 7.5, also $25k 1914 CJ Jackson PSA 4, only $25k opening bid 1933 Goudey Ruth #149 PSA 7, another $25k a beautiful 34 Goudey #37 Gehrig PSA 7, opening bid just $5k & so many more. It's almost overwhelming just to go through the auction listings, I had to take a break! And I agree with 'stache, this auction stands as a virtual monument to Dr. Newman's passion.
