With all my bidding people up, maybe I'm the one keeping the prices high

I think I have an extra PSA 6 Hinkle if you're interested. I have a raw Dutch Clark that's pretty decent as well.

I saw that and was hoping you all were going after it. I didn't bid but was rooting for you guys! No clue who won it.

I won the Ernie Smith at the Sterling Auction!! Beautiful card and price was fair I thought?? Been 4 long years now to complete this incredible set, I have about 10 of the 36 to get crossed over to SGC holders and I will be putting the set on the SGC registry!! Thanks to everyone that has helped along the way, Jeff Payne, MSB Sportscards, Ray Novak, Iowa doc It has been a helluva rie and a lot of fun to put together, kinda bitter sweet but I am kicking around maybe trying to put together the Premium Set, I have 2 so far?? But we shall see, I also have some upgrading to do on the 1935 set to get it where I want it, but I am please with the accomplishment!!

Thanks again fellas

Congrats Tucker!!!! Glad you won it. I agree it was a beautiful card. Had I won, I was 100% planning to send it in for review since it was under graded to me. But that's also why I stopped bidding - part of me felt I was setting myself up to be disappointed when the review was rejected.

In terms of valuation, to me the card was a PSA 4 stuck in a PSA 3 holder and as such you got a good deal. Maybe I can't call myself a true/pure collector for getting hung up on the grade, but knowing you got it - I won't kick myself for the loss
