I was in "awe" coming down through the black Lenox to the brown Lenox, seeing the beautiful Uzit, but upon seeing that Pirate back, my mind exploded. Awesome run from a fellow Merkle throwing collector (but with only 4 back variations).

Incredible!

You couldn't have picked a better T206 for a back run than the Merkle Throwing. Well done, man.

Great job Sean. It was no fight on the Pirate back. You clobbered me. It was sort of interesting in that 3-4 of the Pirate cards were hotly contested by a few of us that are on the board quite a bit and know each other.

Thanks Leon, that really was a fun night. I know that you and I and Wonka each got a Pirate. Do you know who got the Chance? I'm just curious.

Jason, JimB, Peter and Chris, thank you very much.
Chris gets an assist with this run because he stayed up all night in the chatroom and kept me company even though he didn't have any cards of his own to watch. Next time you'll get some print error or scrap for yourself.

I don't know and if I recall correctly it's the only one that one of us in the chat room, or on the board, didn't win.

Thank you Nelson. Hey, remember I told you I had something big planned for the REA auction? It worked out.

Kawika, thank you very much. I love that photo, I can really get a good look at that old 1st baseman's glove. Thank you for sharing that.

Phenomenal run Sean. As I continued to scroll down, I thought, well it can't get much more impr-, wait --- Brown Lenox? I love the Pirate example!

If you are going to at all, how are you going to display them?

Congrats on the run.

What's next a Cobb back run?

Nate, I haven't thought about a display. I usually put my cards in a bank vault and take them out a couple of times a year to look at them. Maybe I should get some type of display case for them, but for right now it's back to the vault.

Dave thank you . If you're planning a serious run, I can tell you that most of them show up from time to time. I've even seen a couple Lenox and an Uzit. The Pied 42 is surprisingly difficult. I've never seen another one, but I'm sure there must be a few.
Good luck with your run. Let me know how it goes.
