Default Interesting OJ Card in upcoming REA auction

The person who cosigned this card to REA reached out to me and after I talked to him, the back story of how he found this card is as good as the card itself.

We love stories like this; so here is the back story of not only the card but also of the collector whose card is included in the next REA auction.

Honestly it could not have happened to a better man. I live within a couple of miles of Bill and have worked with his wife for about a decade. I am hoping to get a chance to see the rest of the collection soon as well.

Will let everyone know how that goes.
