Not cheap, but since I had 7 Old Puts already, I would've paid a good bit more for it. Only one known of Mack and only 18 documented Old Put Cigar's total.

I won REA lot #179 - the 25 T206 HOFs in PSA 4 or 4.5s. I only need 3-5 to swap out w/what I have in lower grade and / or straight sell the rest. If anyone needs any of those (and the link to the lot is still up), let me know as I will probably list on Net54 first. Check out the link on REA (if it's still up?) - beautiful fronts, well centered and clean (looked really strong for the grade), although no shot of the backs, so not sure what they hold? (always afraid of the all-too-often PSA 4 or 5 with wrinkles or paper loss)

Anyway, the ones (offhand, need to reference and I'm of the country until next week) I know I'll keep / swap out are:

Matty Portarit (replaces a Matty in a 3 - which I'll list)
M Brown Cubs (replaces a 3 - which I'll list as well)
Cy Young Bare Hand (replaces a 3, list that one as well)
A couple others I can't recall now and I may keep/swap some of the SOV 150s as well.

Thanks,

Ed

Congrats on the Mack. I was a bidder but I bowed out with other irons in the fire. You are right though, you'll never see another Old Put Mack for sale. Good job!

Just got my REA winnings from Saturday's auction via FEDEX.

Thanks Rob!

Just received my REA item today as well, 1915 Boston vs. Philadelphia World Series Program. Thanks again, Rob, for the speedy service and picking up the shipping costs this year.

I guess 'picking up the shipping costs' worked in some folks favor; it did not work in mine. I won 2 cards and the extra 1% BP cost me an additional $90.50, which is well more then what insured shipping would have cost.

Sounds like you got screwed.

Not really - I knew what I was paying for - I'm just not going to thank him for picking up the shipping costs, when I actually paid more for them in the BP.
