You ever miss an auction and you just want to cry?

I've known about these for a few years, but had never seen one until today. I was looking at a checklist on the Old Baseball Cards site and thought I'd take a look at Ebay to see if any had come up for sale recently. Imagine my horror when I discovered that I missed out on a entire lot of them. Grrrrr

All hope isn't lost just yet Adam.

You've got to make the winning bidder "an offer he can't refuse." Your first shot is your best shot, so make that offer something attractive.

given all the dupes I'm willing to bet he'll part with something

Thanks for the suggestion. I've located the buyer and sent a message. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck Adam. Great collection of Memphis Blues cards. What is the year on this issue (I see '65-'67 noted)? What is "Red Barn"?

1968. Red Barn was a fast food restaurant.chain in the Memphis area.

Looks like at least three (Renko, Bethke & Smith) in that lot were previously unknown to Beckett.com.

Great stuff Adam. If I run across any, I'll send you a PM.

Struck a deal with the owner of these cards and he agreed to part with one of the Jorgensons. It arrived this afternoon and I'm thrilled to add it to my type collection. Couldn't have done it without the suggestions/support of you guys on the board. Thanks!
