So, I found a new T206 rare back.

Thanks for sharing this, it's always nice to see a previously unconfirmed combo.

Thanks for sharing. I suspect we will see many of the finds from that collection circulating in the US auction circuit once they are graded. It's disappointing to not win an auction, but that's how it goes.

Every now and then I go well past my "card budget" in an auction.

For a while afterwards, there's no disposable income on hand. As a result, I'll miss out on a few things.

However, I've never regretted the decision to "go all in" on a card. It's the "one that got away" which will gnaw at me...

The Steinfeldt looks like it might be a Brown Lenox too.

That would actually be the Bridwell back, because the trio were in one connected sheet.

But yeah, I can't tell if it's brown, or just a faded black. It's definitely lighter than the other.

I did have one net54 user look at the photos prior to my bidding, and they didn't think it was brown.

I'm curious if anyone else thinks it's brown. (I'd be even more mad for not upping my bid.)

Cale, I don’t know if that is brown or black. It is very difficult to tell when card is not in hand- some browns can be darker/lighter than others. As discussed, if brown, the card is worth much more than if black. I am leaning against it being brown bc there are just so few browns out there that odds are just against it from a probability stand point

Now that the auction is over, what auction were these in?

Yeah, I would hedge my bets and assume black as well. The odds of a 1/1 card + a brown Lenox + a Uzit seems too crazy. I will shoot you an email with more details.

But, if anyone reading thinks it's brown, feel free to tell me that I whiffed.

I hear that. I'm just getting back into cards after collecting as a kid in the 90s... and obviously, I just got interested again months before the pandemic price boom.

So, I've still got sticker shocker from going from 90s prices to pandemic prices.

I've got a few gnawing flubs. But you're right, sometimes you've got to throw the frugality out the window for something.

That's what I think as well. There was 75% of a 1924 Cuban Aguilitas set in an auction a few months ago, from what I assume is the same collection. I've been waiting to see those pop up somewhere in the States... because I was outbid on those too.

But, who knows? Maybe it's all staying somewhere in England?
