Now you've done it, I feel like such an armpit collector again.

Never get tired of seeing those.

Wow he bought the card for 1400 and sold it for $64000

Doesn't he feel bad that he ripped the school teacher off?


Thought only mrmint did this

The card actually sold for less than half the price he said it did. I believe the final bid was around 31K in an REA auction.

Can we still sue archive even if our posting privileges are no longer available? I hate that archive guy. Keeps bring up old threads.

That was without the "we" or plural buyers premium.

It's my understanding Walter Johnson was issued in the 1912 Garter series. I have never seen an image of one. Does someone have it to post?

That picture has always perplexed me (and I am rarely, if ever, perplexed).

First of all, the angle and lighting on the piece actually prevent the viewer from seeing the real beauty of the sheet. Secondly, positioning the piece like that could lead to damage on the edges and put further strain on the folds.

I realize that condition doesn't factor into value too much on a unique item like that, but you'd think one would want to preserve it as best as possible for history's sake. Just a weird photo of a tremendously cool part of our hobby.

(I hope Anthony, aka Griffins, didn't shoot that photo, because I just ripped his work apart )
