Was watching - only the McKechnie got more than 1 bid. I bid on that one, but bowed out early. The other three went for the opening bid at $100 ea, so cheaper than one might have expected, but not far from what they went for when I first became aware of them. That was 2007-2008, and they went for just north of $100.


I got Ferry and O'Toole from Frank Ward's distribution of them. I believe they'd been posted some time before - as many had been sold by the time I found them in 2008. As I was primarily collecting pre-war Pirates at the time, it was all good. I only switched to T207 exclusively around 2010 when I buckled down to complete the set.

I was the winner in Clean Sweep's auction for the McKechnie. I bid because the blank back was unusual and it was for a HOF'er.
