Very nice.

I can't help thinking that a nice soaking by Towle and it's a 3.

[Chicago206]

No soaking....I like it as is. Now I just need an Uzit and Lenox for my basic set. Would like to snag a red Hindu for my advanced set as well.

Nice pick-up, I didn't realize a Drum PSA 2 was a $2800 card these days, but it does look really nice for the grade.

Very nice, and it's a Cubs guy too! I'm jealous. I should have taken a day off work and made it up there....would have liked to check out those Brown Hindu cards you mentioned.

Wow! Nice pick-up!

I've been to that show a number of times and there haven't been any scarce backs like that when I've been there! I think your timing was just right.

If I were in the same situation, I would have paid the additional $300 for the PSA 2 Kroh in a heartbeat. You won't regret it. Plus, if you ever decide to sell it, the Cubbie is going to be more far more desirable than the minor leaguer. The Cubs cards are generally pretty popular with collectors (with the exception of Tony quinnsryche, of course).

Congrats! Glad there was a happy ending to your story.

If given a choice between a Dick Rudolph card (minor league or not) and a Rube Kroh card I'll take the Rudolph any day! That being said, the Kroh looks a lot better than the Rudolph on ebay as that one had a fairly significant crease!

nice Drum....hopefully one day i can get to that level and get a drum or two.

Frank, if his signature bothers you that much, then block him.. its that simple!

I see the same card with the same PSA # is for sale on ebay by 707sportscards.

I am not one for drama, as I get enough of that at the house. I just like to buy, sell and watch, but I sure did wanna kick CHI206's teeth down his throat. I was just hoping that he would go as fast as he came, and he did. I was a happy man when he said he wasn't coming back.
Hope all is well,
Bob

That is my question. How did 707 get the card back? Purchase on Net54? Weird... Card was sold last spring for $2500 by 707 and put back on Net54 for sale - then ends up back with 707...

Chicago206 bought the card and a few weeks later auctioned it off on ebay and I guess Levi was the winner.

Chicago206 was around for a couple months and put together a back set of 206s. Well most of a back set not all. Soon as he could not find a couple real tough ones he decided to sell-he put them all on the bst and what didn't sel there he put on ebay-haven't heard from him since.

good enough of a recap?
