But 110% agree on your assessment.

I saw the pinhole and understand card economics as decreed by the TPGs. For me, who cares? That is one f**king gorgeous and special card!

I was able to pick up a good number of T206 commons to add to my set.
Including a couple EPDG and Tolstoi backs, so I was happy.

Got outbid on a ton more, but that's life.

Did any of y'all win this Lou Fiene? This may be the nicest Lou Fiene P350 I ever saw. I think I was the 3rd underbidder. I wasn't really in the market for a p350 Fiene, so I didn't go higher. I have cards with pinholes, but I need a deep, deep discount. I guess that's why I don't win many cards anymore.

I thought this was a decent price given how crazy portraits have gotten. I usually do not buy qualifiers, but a small dot on the back does not bother me in the least.

Missed on a lot, but did pick me up another WaJo.

I missed out on an e93 upgrade. Might be a common player in some respects but an uncommonly pretty card. Still, really strong price. Felt like it was me and someone else and would have just kept going so I chose bed.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned the Jake Atz, a PSA 3.5 with a Carolina Brights back which fetched a cool $8,100.

Nice one! I was chasing that but dropped out. FWIW, that is not an Eastern Exhibit. It is a postcard, and much tougher to find than the EE. SGC mislabeled it. Here is what the back looks like clean:




Interesting how my Wheat has the same hole.

Thanks for sharing. It is interesting that they have the same hole.

Thanks

Dot, Schmot, that's a really nice card, a real bargain at that price. And I wonder if that really is a dot instead of residue of some kind, although you would expect the TPGs to have the imaging technology to at least get that difference right.

Lol thanks. It’s been really hard to pick up these 2nd tier HOFers, no more staying up all night bidding back and forth for me. Too many disappointments getting outbid at crazy prices
I put in a bid early in the evening and woke up paying less than my max .

I'm not really a card guy, and I don't know how often this kind of opportunity comes up, but I could see making a niche collection out of picking up pretty cards that have been "degraded" by a TPG for some reason of theirs unrelated to the overall appearance. Certainly there are those out there doing just that, but you sure picked this one up cheap, IMO.
