No, Ted, the moral is that they knew they were dealing with good guys and total pros who made them a big-time offer with no BS. Congrats!

I found this story interesting. Sounds like you did ok by this couple. Nothing worse than trying to hide the value of something and lowballing folks. Congrats on the cool purchase. Yes we’d love to see some pics!

That's great. Sounds like it was an original collection that one of the heirs added to the binder pages at some point. Any Demmitt's or O'Hara's?

Hi Rob

About 1/2 of these 200 cards are T206's; and, I was hoping that a Demmitt or an O'Hara was in this group. Neither one of these variations are in this collection.

Perhaps, those two guys were only shipped out to St. Louis, rather than Lehigh Valley, PA.

Thanks Ted, I appreciate the kind words. It’s always great seeing you and talking t206. Hopefully we will catch up again in December

Hi Joe

This T205 Quinn is the only card I currently have from this collection. Dan pulled this one out of the binder because he knew I needed a POLAR BEAR of Quinn for my T205 run.
I expect we will be doing some forthcoming deals between us regarding this collection.

This T205 Quinn is typical of many of the 200 cards in this collection.

Incredible that one of the cards you needed was sitting in the binder. Sometimes it just works out that way. Like you said, Ted I'm sure there will be many deals in the forthcoming. Hope you had a great Philly Show.

Love these stories. I like it when dealers are able to obtain collections direct from original owners or heirs. Jeff W

Great story and thank you for sharing! Whenever I read of something like this, I always wonder how many other collections similar to this are lying around somewhere.
