I can't believe Peter is lending support (at least implicitly) to an article critical of a fellow Wolverine. Truly a sad day.

I think the consignor must have insisted on an opening bid of $2k on the PSA1 John Ward (in full dress) OJ. There were no bids and LOTG and the consignor both lose out. I believe that is a $750 card. Shame.

The consignor must have set minimum bid prices on this card and other 19th century material in the auction. Al's a pretty savvy auctioneer and my guess is that he'd probably have started it much lower opening bid if it were up to him.

The card is really nice for a "1". It's one of those "1"s that people would take at the right price. The pin hole at the bottom isn't that glaring of an issue. Very nice image. Only thing is, nobody wants to pay a premium for a "1" grade on a common HOFer (even with a nice image).

He's still up there with Gehringer and Barry Larkin.
