  • Well, don't feel too bad, Poppa. After all, the auction did say it is a rare card.

    Poppa ... do you need the "error" variation of that checklist? That's what was sold ... it is pretty rare, I believe. All because they didn't put a friggin "period" after the "D" on card #170. AMAZING!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Hi Doug,

    Actually, I have been looking for the "correct" version which is tough enough to find in high grade at a nice price for an OPC. The error variation (dash) isn't part of the PSA Master Mantle registry set yet, only the correct version (dot or period), and I didn't want to pay an exuberant amount on a card that might not make the registry. (Not every card makes the registry .... even those with stats!)

    So.... I placed, what I considered, a very reasonable and probably too high of a bid with 6 seconds remaining last night. My bid wasn't even close. I was shocked when the winning bid amount appeared image

    $550 for a checklist? Ouch!

    I sincerely appreciate and thank you for your info, Doug.
