Has Anyone Ever Discovered, Sold and Re-Acquired A Card? T212-3 Weaver

[soxinseven]

I just reacquired this the other night. It is the first E94 I ever owned. I sold it on the BST and always regretted it, just really like the card and knowing it belonged to Lionel makes it even better.

Hi Leon

Interesting topic. Here is my story, I completed my 1948 BOWMAN set in 1982. Then, in 1994, I sell this set to Alan Rosen.

Circa 2004, I get a call from an old friend, Tony, from the Jersey Shore area. He is selling his BB card collection. So, I get into
my old T-Bird and make the trip to Toms River. First, I check out his pre-war cards, then I start sorting thru his BOWMAN sets.

While I am going thru the 1948 set, I stop and take a close look at the Musial card, and instantly I realize that this was my set
which I sold to Rosen. The back of the Musial card has a distinct mark on it that was unmistakable. I asked Tony if he acquired
all 48 cards as a complete set, or did he put it together, piecemeal ? Tony replied that he bought this complete set from Rosen.

So, over a period of 22 years this set cycled back to me. I love this type of stuff.

This is the 1st card that came to mind when You ask'd Your question ~

i am so glad that this work'd out... i Really Like this card of Mr. Mathewson & Certainly felt some card loss after He was gone!

i'm sure when i look back through my cards i'll find at least one more...
