Hey Jamie - though I don't collect 19th c., that card (and story) captured my attention. Great pick-up!

I won the T215 Red Cross Bender so have been very excited as I have been waiting months to try to get a chance to win it, now that it is over feels better than ever !

Nice work! When I saw that lot I had 2 thoughts: (1) if I was bidding on any Red Cross in the auction that would be the one, and (2) I hope Johnny gets it...card belongs in a great Bender collection!!!

Wonka, we won't stick ya with the drinks bill unless you really want to buy.

Great pick ups by all. I was really tempted to pull the trigger and go one more bid on the t207 RC Blackburn

Wow Pete...what Dental school would you recommend? If you're looking to sell the T215 Chase let me know! I'll keep it in St. Paul.

shean...any dental school should do!!! You're in st paul? We've gots to get together some time!!!!

Sweet, I'll have to look around...I'm in Highland Park.

Dental schools don't teach wrecklessness, fiscal irresponsibility...and stupidity...I did that all on my own!

Update: I am no longer the winner of lot #101! I was presented with an offer to buy me out that made me quite happy...and a little relieved!!!

REA is the best!!!!!!!

Ah man, I wanted that Chase!

I have it on good authority that Pete is now working on a Lowdermilk back collection since he has the tough one out of the way.

LOL....First thing i heard on news today was about highest paying job, Lawyers, doctors, and DENTIST....i thought, i hope so since Pete needs to do some extra braces/invisiline soon.

Great wins by everyone from REA. The cards are great and enjoy your winnings!!!!

ha ha...that's a whole lot of sealants!

Thanks everybody !! And again congrats to everybody else some really great cards about to be shipped out all over the place !! The eye appeal on everyones cards is amazing.

Thanks for compliments on the Kelly, everyone, although I'm just a small portion of the damage inflicted on this auction by this board. First place goes to Pete for his massive layout for the Lowdy, a rarity provincial to this board. Second goes to John for his incredible haul, and third goes to Jay for his first large auction pickup in over a decade. Everyone else gets honorable mention. Well done, guys!

I think we know officially get to call Pete a whale

We need a whale smiley

Hey...if this is a reference to my recent weight gain...I don't appreciate it!

Are whales stoopid?

Don't know but they do have a hole in the top of their head.
Congrats on the big win!

Pete the Whale.

I haven't had Carvel and Fudgie the Whale since I left New York.

When I joined this forum, I figured out pretty quickly that I'm a bit of a lightweight in this company. However, it was not until now that I realized just how light I am. If this is boxing, I'm a featherweight. These are some heavyweight acquisitions that went on this weekend, and my kudos to all. That Kelly is beautiful, the T206's are amazing, the Cracker Jack's are breathtaking, and Pete's haul... Lord. There are hardly words.

Well done, folks. Now I'm just gonna go back to swimming with the small fish.
