Show off your 2009 REA Pickups Here!

Well I was mostly interested in 3 lots. One got too rich for me. The second (an E125 Speaker) I got sniped on at just past midnight (after being the lead bidder for more than 8 hours...). But I did secure the third one - a very interesting pair of E97 cards. Note that the left, color card is improperly labelled - it is actually the Chicago variation (I already have the Boston color):

I was the leader on the die cut Delongs until late. I would have placed another bid but my budget just didn't have another $250 in it I would have really loved to have added that to my collection.

Sorry to hear that, Jay! I know what you mean - it sucks being the underbidder.

Cheers,

What's the story behind the blue backs? I'm sure Dan McKee probably knows

Jay

All I know is already listed in the lot description. I'd be interested to hearing what Dan has to say about them (positive or negative, shoot, I already own them and ain't selling, so it isnt' going to help or hurt me any)...and whether he's seen them before. Other than the Ruth and Manush, none of the 10+ Goudey collectors I've spoken to have seen them...but of course, that's only a dozen or so people.

no one else here bought anything?

Here is my only REA pickup.

Great Pickups guys

Seems to be the way most people are operating in these tough economic times.

If people are hit by tough economic times, they are liquidating their cards, not shafting people over them.

For E, tough economic times means he doesn't let any caviar drip off the side of this mouth.

I figure that Pro9 has saved up enough money from not having to buy Leafs playoff tickets that he is set for at least a couple of years of economic crisis

I thought E would be a Canucks guy. Ugly game for the Canucks last night.
