The Elusive One

[ethicsprof]

a T206 Drum back took me decades until a friend from this board parted with one of his for a 1982 price.

Tip Top Dreyfuss
W600 Burkett
Cabanas Pete Hill

But it's really no secret why these don't pop up very often.

Pre-war toughie for me is M101-2 Dooin. Always outbid for some reason.

Post-war toughie is a 1958 Kahn's Wally Post (only Phillie in all the Kahn's series).

Neither card is extremely rare but I always seem to be outbid on these...drives me crazy.

A reasonably priced N172 Williamson and mascot

I have seen scans of four [non-Old Judge], and know that there are a few N173s...but have never seen one for sale or auction.

Not all that rare, but t205 Addie Joss has always alluded me for whatever reason. Timing has never been right, cost has always been to much....etc. The stars never aligned.

Well, I recently picked one up and am thrilled to have it. It is low grade, maybe a SGC 20-SGC 30, but it still sits pretty in my collection. Now I just need to find a way to upgrade it.

Next most elusive... t205 Christy Mathewson. Again, not rare at all, just have to find one at the right price at the right time. I bet over the years, I have bid on 150 of these and never won one.

Been looking for a Cy Young RC (or even something close to the early 1890's) for a long time but no luck so far...........
