T208s are wicked rare, more so than D359s generally (by a decent margin).

Really great pick up Leon.

I won these two. Super psyched for both. The 1896 Wagner pre-rookie did not get a hit during the original extended bidding on Sunday night and closed at 9:10 yesterday. Thus, I won it regulation without any bids after midnight Sunday. I think the Plank got 1-3 bids in the initial extended bidding (I had a high max bid so it just auto bid for me), and it go no bids on Monday and closed at 9:10pm.

Very few cards of the 40+ lots I was watching got bids on Monday (although a few did and they moved a lot), and maybe 3-4 got bids on Monday extending bidding.

Great pickups. No mistaking Honus in that pic. He looks a little bit like Coach K to me there and in the t206.

The extended time actually helped me, I was able to sell a card on the BST that provided extra funds used to make a higher bid on the T206 Lenox I was after. Couldn't be more pleased.

My first E107 - NYAL Germany Long and a Nadja NYAL that I probably overpaid for. The Long looked decent for the grade.

IMO the US dollar is being debased due far too much liquidity in the system, due to Relief Programs and the like, bringing rising prices from a carton of milk to 1/2 a Honus. Now rising interest rates by the Fed will mean depressed bond and stagnant stock markets, while inflation will continue to soar. If people are now believing that sports cards are "admitted" assets in their personal finance plan, fine, but I hope folks aren't leveraging themselves to go after those Mike Trout shiny cards or Zion RCs. i believe there will be a day of reckoning for those and that is why I love my position in pre-War and 50's vintage. These cards may flatten when the correction comes, and it will, but I don't believe they will crater.
Oh, by the way, won a nice '48 Bowman Berra and a T06 Brown Washington variation with a Sovereign 350 back in REA's auction.

Nice to see the 54 Wilson Franks Williams finally getting some love.

I really liked that Plank when I first saw it and was thinking about going for it. However I just couldn't knowing it was recently cut from a composite. Here's a scan of the composite as it was sold a few years ago.

Completely agree.

I am very glad you and BRoberts could not bid on it, making it two less people to bid against. Each to their own.

[BRoberts]

No offense intended. It's a spectacular piece that fits wonderfully in your collection.

LOL, no worries! But in this crazy price environment, I will accept whatever it takes to reduce the number of bidders I compete against

[ullmandds]

40 is the new 30...50 is the new 40...$10,000 for a bb card is the new 2K!
