Thanks Jeff. Another mystery (reason for Dunlop rarity). I thought you stayed away from the it because it wasn't in the holder you collected the rest of the set in.
Kevin, its not over - you can still get it. I talked to the AH yesterday. I'm not 100% sure what happened, but I think the jist of it was, the reserve was hidden at the start of the auction, so it did get bids, then towards the end the reserve was revealed and it wasn't met. I don't think that's typically how it works. A semi-hidden reserve I guess.
I think a 10K offer takes it. One other thing I'd be concerned about on this card beyond any impact the serious health issues of former NFL players may have on the future of the sport is the set itself. It is a college football set of players that won't be found in any HOF. I'm just playing Devil's advocate - from a football history point of view, I think it's significant. But, there's also a Mayo baseball set and I never got the sense it was hugely popular.
