Val, I don't see yours on the pop lists or a second one of my Cobb. I think we're safe with our 1/1s -- until the next find.

Jeff, congrats on having a really nice Morehouse Baking of Cobb!

"... until the next find" is so true, as I have experienced this. Three years ago, I was "crushed" when Heritage auctioned a new-to-the-hobby, near-set of 1922 Haffner's Bread cards that had been held in the same family since 1922, thereby making my raw Haffner's Bread card of WaJo no longer a 1/1 card. Sigh! https://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c...Results-012417

Thank you for that list! Once the auction starts, six days from now, can you please post daily updates with the current bids of all the cards?

I can’t tell if you are busting my chops for over communicating a bit on this! Sorry if I’m over communicating a bit, this whole experience has been a fun ride so I’m probably guilty of spreading too much of the backstory here.

I’ll try to chill (a little!)

Not busting chops at all. The list of lot numbers is invaluable because it saves the Net54 community time by not having to scroll through the entire auction to find these cards. I also think a daily "scoreboard" of current prices and maybe "number of bids leaders" would be super fun.

Oh good, just don’t mean to overdue it. Yes, of course… I’ll be watching closely so happy to provide some regular updates.

If you plan to bid, good luck!
