All your cards are insane, but the moonlight graham pieces are something special.

I'd pay less for a card slabbed 'The Ryan Hotchkiss Collection'

I remember the day the Rose Graham was listed here and it was gone very quickly!

Same here. Gone before the neurons fired to think about getting it. Great pickup.

I remember the night it closed in REA about 15 years ago with literally zero mention on their part. I got the catalog and it was in a lot of maybe 12-15 Rose Postcards. Nothing in the write up about the importance. They just listed off all the players included and I'm about 99% sure he was listed as just "and Graham." I put a place holder bid in and waited for that night. It made so much sense that it would be him, but REA failed to highlight it in any way I couldn't fathom they wouldn't mention Moonlight Graham so when I went and won something else in the auction I was watching. The entire lot sold for about $1k. I would have went 5x higher if I was certain it was it him. A week later a member here proudly showed it off. I've never regretted any auction or item as much as that one.
