Default Being nosy: what happened to the Skydash find?

I notice his name from time to time- I remember being on the board watching the situation unfold. I remember when he found the Thorpe, and I remember the auction when it was sold.

I also remember mentions of other high end cards from other sets, but I don't know what happened to them- have they been sold privately? Are they coming up for auction anytime soon? I understand that Skydash wants to preserve his privacy, and I respect that, but that find is astounding and I'm wondering what happened to the rectangular cards as opposed to the circular ones.

Any information is appreciated.

And if anyone could point those of us unfamiliar with the Skydash story to an old thread link or give us a brief history it would be appreciated.

I never saw that thread. There aren't a lot of pics left on that link.

Interesting read.

All or most of his cards have "Skydash Collection" printed on the SGC label, so you will see them in the marketplace from time to time.

The cards were all sold through one of the major auciton houses last year. Great collection and great story.
