It must be nice to have that kind of money.

..would you like Leon's phone number ?; if you can catch him sober , he'll verify that it indeed is...

The 1914's I've seen from this find are extremely suspiciously bright and free of caramel stains. I have the 1914 CJ set, and have had at least two of every card at one time or another (except JJ), and almost all of them have stains. I definitely believe the Matty, JJ and Johnson were soaked. I've had a few soaked CJ's, and that is exactly what they look like when they are soaked. Of course, I'd still buy them!

Incredible offering. I hope to land at least a couple of the commons!

I have noticed, of course, that Al has integrated these fantastic CJ's into his upcoming auction, the preview for which has been up a couple of days with bidding starting tonight at 11pm. The whole auction looks terrific, not just the CJ's, but I wonder is it standard practice for LFTG Auctions to leave out descriptions so close to kick-off? Regardless of the quality of the material, an auction without descriptions is going to be problematic

Hi Folks:

Just a quick note about this. Not to worry, the detailed descriptions that you've come to expect from LOTG will ALL be visible when the auction launches. We had a lot of demand for a preview this time around (which we typically don't do for more than an hour or so), but the descriptions were not all complete. So we suppressed them all while we worked on them, but opened up the scans and photos for all to see.

The auction should be live within an hour or so, and then you'll be able to read all the descriptions.

Best,
-Al

Good luck with the sale Al.
