Since that was my consignment, you under paid!! Ha. I’ve never seen another stamp like that either and I wasn’t excited to see it pop up in their monthly auction along with my 1926-29 Plain back Exhibits of all HOFers.

The W601s and other Postcards series like the Souvenir shop and a team issue with Christy Mathewson went way cheaper than expected. On the flip side, my winnings were at a decent value.

I missed the stamp on back postcard but did grab this one. Not sure if it's the one you are talking about but it has the cool factor.

Yes. That’s it. Someone got a great deal.

I was shocked and surprise to grab a t206 Cy Young for under $500, though an authentic, it is a unique OP and it was a hole in my set, so I am THRILLED at the lower prices!

This one, right? What was the alteration?

Maybe the upper right corner? The missing bit looks like the edge is too clean, but it might be fine in person.

That’s the one! I was thinking it was the top right corner. Regardless, even with the creases, I’m in love with it!

I like its looks. To my eyes it appears that the bottom horizontal 'crease' may actually be a rip that goes across most of the card. If so, does a TPG normally classify this as 'altered'?

Some interesting prices for sure, and some great pickups as usual from you guys.

I've recently gotten my dad into T206s, and with his birthday coming up, thought I would pick him this one up from the hometown team:
