Hello! I found this thread and decided to go dig out my old collection from when I was a kid and lo and behold, a nnof frank thomas along with 4 of the “blackless” cards discussed! I’m honestly just interested in selling these to someone that will appreciate them, so message me and Lmk how/who to reach if you are interested!
I thought this scammer was the first post.. mea culpa

Brendon, i am so glad you posted this. i was chomping at the bit to add to this great thread, but this was your story to tell and you did a great job of it!!!
i am also so happy this deal worked out. I feared when we were messaging that the seller may back out before you made the deal. I was speaking with a friend at the December Elks club show and he was interested in the card and had inquired about making a deal for it, but would have needed to do a trade/cash deal. I was nervous that the seller was being offered other deals as well and may sell it out from under you. I was very pleased when you let me know it was in hand.
It is truly a great example of the NNOF and with provenance that the card was pulled right here in the great state of Maine!
long live the CU NNOF thread!!
Thank you for hopping in here and reading my novel!
I did get very lucky. The seller was top notch and a man of his word. Obviously there would be other offers, and possibly someone could have offered to go over the asking price. The card listed on a Saturday, and when I got ahold of him on Monday morning, the seller mentioned he'd had a few messages about it but no serious offers. I think if he had been located in a more populated area in southern Maine it would have sold the first weekend and I would not have gotten it. My marketplace filter is set up to generally only show listings 100 miles from me, and Houlton is 120 miles north of Bangor and 250 miles from Portland.
The icing on the cake was the interesting story behind it and the fact that it was pulled from a 106 card Jumbo Pak, which I had never heard of occurring before. It was all very exciting and also a relief to finally get it in hand. Thank you very much for all the encouragement to get it done. I owe you one!

No worries and I appreciate you following up. Would you mind just editing your original post so we can carry on? Thank you.

No harm done in either direction here, just a misunderstanding.
And also, to add, it’s an understandable mistake you made. Not everyone remembers that the thread is 28 pages and 16 years long!
Redacted all hope u will do same
