I bought the card late LAST YEAR--from Jay Miller (who charges a lot for cards, but has a lot of great ones)for mucho deniro. Then I read that Jay got==not just a free Catalogue, or his name mentioned, but a whole sentence, thanking him for his contributions to the Old Judge section of the new Catalogue. In that new catalogue, ALL Radbournes list for 1800 in near mint. (Of course I know that Lemke had the last word on prices, and I'm sure he didn't get any advice from Jay on the listing for the Radbourne! Mine was a portrait, by the way.)

Guess some things are more complicated than they seem. Is it all clear now? I simply forgot the chronology of events. And (what makes John's attack even--more disturbing), I wasn't entirely serious, because it was undooubtedly Lemke's price (1800), not Jay's (no matter how much he helped).

I KNOW I haven't told you exactly how much I paid Jay last year--but I think I said something about 4 times as much...
