This went for big money, but was it real? Sockalexis Postcard

[WillowGrove]

Rhys - aside from seeing your name on this forum and stopping by your brother's table at my first National in a while - I don't know you guys - but I'm very happy you won that card!

I noticed the card with about an hour and a half to go and with less than a minute left I put in a much higher yet conservative.

And ever since that auction ended I have been truly disappointed in myself. I was reared at auctions and here I am being conservative on such a beautiful piece? Boy did I screw up.

But hearing that your high bid was probably more than I was ready to spend -and knowing it went to someone who really appreciates - well heck, I can look at myself in the mirror again.

I knew Sockalexis's basic story but the research I did on him in the hour or so I had - really made be want to read more about him. I'm going to be enjoying the most recent biography of him as soon as it gets here.

Anyhow - some backstory.

Enjoy the card Rhys & take care
