Thanks Wayne, for chiming in. It wasn't that bad to post on a message board, was it? I can't wait to see you and Bill again at the National. Ya'll are some of my favorite guys to just sit and chat with. If I am lucky I will catch ya'll eating breakfast again and pull up a chair. Welcome to the board (I know you have read it but joining in is more fun). Say hi to Bill for me.....best regards

btw, GREAT info on the Wags strip too!!!

Thanks Leon, just thought I could add some facts since I owned it for 2 years and others are just seeing it from their computer. It is real and it is a neat piece. I was happy to sell it to Barry, as it meant more to him at the time than it did to me, but I wished I had kept it now.

Wayne,

Welcome to the Net54 forum. See you in Baltimore.

Is this the same strip that Al Rosen used to have? I remember seeing something like this at I believe a Fort Washington show back in the 80's. I think he was asking 2M for it.

Kary, yes its the same strip.
Was advertised in SCD in several issues as well w/ the hefty price tag

This is one of those items that every auction house will end up featuring at one time or another. Mastro sold it in 2002. Hunt in 2010. Who's going to be next ? REA ? Heritage ? Memory Lane ? Maybe this topic is a a good poll ?
