I'm puzzled about the Tinker that went for $85+20%. Rough, sure, but it's not like it was torn in half or anything. I only picked up the nice looking Summers because I merely wanted a type card from this set. Might be a missed flipping opportunity there.

I agree that one seems low. I wonder if the backs on many of the T213 may have turned people off a bit....many with paper loss/staining/etc

I wanted the Chase portrait. Often overlooked PCL card.

There were some nice, and tough, cards for sure. Here's my Bender no trees Philadelphia Natl (not from the REA sale - they had an SGC 10) which is a PSA pop of 3.

Rob, I think you are right...not enough people collecting that set to get fair value for everything on a near set break...nice Sweeney...Jerry

Thanks for the kind words Rob and James!

James - I love those T211s. I was able to pick up a Babb myself a few months ago, making it the second T211 in my collection. Would love to see some of your memorabilia if you ever get a chance to post it!

Thanks, Jerry, I was glad to get the Sweeney Richmond. If were bidding on an OJ hofer, then I'd be okay with overbidding, because at least I could recoup some money later on. With T213-2, I often get an incredible bargain, or wildly overpay.

I bought a group lot of T213-2’s in an REA auction a few years ago and some other big name individual cards, and i love the colors on these and find the set terrific. However, it is hard to get to know them as they are sold so infrequently and I was just not ready for the auction to get my bids in and decide what to go for. I was focusing on the t205s more! All of the small lots of individual cards are hard to manage when i need so many still. Wish i would have focused more, a lot of them went cheap and i am not too picky on condition on these.
