Agreed. I don't like the term "collector grade" for its ambiguity, but as it seems to refer most often to beater cards, I must agree that your T3 collection is MUCH nicer than that. Thanks for sharing, those are great looking Turkeys! I'd love to own that Mathewson.

Didn't wish to irritate anybody with my choice of terminology. A decade or so back when I was engaged in scorched earth collecting practices there seemed to be a ton more stuff out there for grabs. T3s routinely showed up on eBay and the pricing was such that 3s and 4s were affordable and not anywhere as stratospheric as they are now. I shied away from the higher graded cards then because they were more expensive and I fancied myself an armpit collector whose main criteria was eye appeal. I loved pinholes in T3s because they kept the price down. There may be a better way to phrase it but it's what I called "collector grade" back in the day. SGC wasn't grading T3s then, just PSA and GAI. I'd have liked to had the whole set slabbed by SGC when they started grading them but it was one of those ideas that never went anywhere. The Matty was graded by GAI - I forget the grade, maybe a four for what it's worth - but I cracked it out of its über-fugly slab. It looked like it was graded by Radio Shack. Really awful.

The final bid on the T3 set in Lelands was $42,757 (so over $50K with the BP) which apparently did not meet the reserve so the set didn't sell. I can't imagine what the reserve was considering the overall condition of the set, but as previously mentioned, with the estimate listed at $150-200K, I think someone was being very overly optimistic.

I really can't believe the UFC fight seats didn't sell! I mean the possibility of each match ending in 1-5 minutes and my $50,000+ being used to sit down in a metal folding chair for half an hour sounds like an enthralling time. Oh and the part where I don't know what event it's for, "date and event to be determined". Just gives me such a rush!
