Blue Old Mill T206 Walsh at Chantilly Show - My Opinion Has Changed

[freakhappy]

Johnny, that makes sense...but John did try to get it and the seller declined.
He could pick it up now and maybe cheaper than his original offer, but it seems he is going to sit this one out

Matt, Leon, Rob and others...I just found this great collection you may be interested in. Dogs galore...go get 'em! http://strejc-collection.com/

There is virtually nothing known about this card- no history, no track record, no other examples found, no idea how only a single blue example got into circulation. For most collectors, it's a huge leap of faith to write a check for 30K or 40K armed with so little information. More research needs to be done for it to be accepted by serious T206 collectors at that level.

Of course, that doesn't mean it won't happen anyway. Bidders do get caught up in the moment.

Barry has hit the nail on the head. The offer I made was exactly that it was a “leap of faith”. It was the breaking point price wise or line in the sand I was willing to gamble with no history on this card.

The seller is a good guy I’m sure we could have come to a deal. However as I stated before I’m glad he valued it much higher than I. Having had time to think on it the value or line in the sand from the national has changed dramatically for me in regards to this card.

For the sellers sake I hope the auction eclipses my offer and it sells for huge amounts of money. I wish him nothing but the best with his sale.

Cheers,

John

That's one hell of a line in the sand.

I'm glad you didn't become a victim of buyer's remorse.

I'm taking that as a compliment. Oh, indeed... we've got plenty of dogs, including some actual dogs: http://intheros.com/strejc/?page_id=78

T96 Prize Dog Series, they appear to be portraits of actual dogs as listed in the 1909 AKC Stud Book! You guys are fighting over Ty Cobb portraits, when you can get "Dick Turpin III" for a real steal! :-)

No worries, Jonathan. If you read the whole thread, you can tell I was just messing with the guys here. Your collection is very nice and I'm sure it is getting a lot of attention as it deserves.
