I figured this was in the 6-7 range when I sent it to SGC a few weeks ago, but it's one of the few cards I still have that survived my childhood! As a survivor it was deserving of some "Tuxedo Time"!

Was happy too see this one pop up on eBay, I'm not a huge fan of the 50 parallels of every card but I think the actual printing plates idea is pretty cool for the old-timers I like to collect. Very tough to find, obviously, for any specific card. I have 3 of the 4 printing plates for Sullivan's UD Goodwin card, only this one now for the Allen & Ginter JL.

This oversized PC publicizes the 1906 Britt-Gans match.



Also picked up this Aussie stadium card of HOFer Jeff Smith



Kudos to the designers for bold graphics.

The Smith postcard looks awesome. Love that big flag backdrop

[Frankish]

Very cool stuff. I've never seen one of those Billiken cards before....

Won this a couple days ago, with a bid I thought was a lowball. Not sure if I'll keep it because it's a cool set and card, or trade bait box it because I like complete sets and this one is not really going to happen. Won a few things lately at bids I thought had no chance, hopefully the market is softening a little and I haven't just gotten lucky

Had that on my Watchlist. Thought you got it for a great price.

I think the market is softening on a lot of stuff........or at the very least, it's very erratic, and fluctuations can vary wildly.

Also, with the new category changes and fracked up search engine, you're more likely to get bargains from smaller sellers, then you are from the giant consignment sellers who have already captured their market. Category changes and reliable search engines don't mean quite as much to them, as to the smaller seller who has a harder time being found on the platform.
