So who was the lucky buyer on this one earlier today?





Dan - feel free to add these to the gallery. I have seen the question about what was the print layout come up a few times.

Regards,
Jeff

Did this show up on an auction somewhere? If so, which one? How much did it go for?

Jason

wow, i'll say $225.

At least it's nice to know what we've all thought for years as far as how they were printed is true.

-Mike

Man-Oh-Man!!! Including the tough three cards. Oh my aching ____! -Jack J.

Wow, is right. That must have gone for huge bucks if advertised well.

At least its good to know a board member and non-sport collector bought it.

but...where did the original images come from ?

were there any more uncut sheets ?

Universal Toy & Novelty

Wow.........nice pickup there Jim........

thanks tom
pass me those scissors please

fold 'em and try to tear them straight.....you don't need no stinkin scissors........

Yeah, right Tom
be a man
fold up them pirates and tear em
or maybe chop em up with a sabre

Who won it?

I didn't start this thread tony
But I guess this is my march pickup thread
I won all the sheets shown in this thread

I didn't think there was enough money in the world to buy an uncut sheet of R109's. Luckey guy,well done

Great work Jim! Where did you win these?

I won these sheets Sunday at a random live auction.
Total cost with juice, shipping, etc. $700
I didn't want to fess up until I actually had them in my hands.
Buying is one thing, having them is another.

Awesome Jim, glad to see them go to a home where they will be appreciated

Hey Jim, Super Duper Pick up.
A very random auction!

This is one area that you excell in. I have been crying over my keyboard for years at things "found" only to be trumped by " VXXXXXXXXXS" end of auction!
You must have at least a 10 person staff constantly
scanning the net!
Tip o' the hat and thanks for the share.

I hope whoever won the R109 uncut sheet has no intentions of cutting the sheet up for the individual cards. Having never collected uncut sheets, I have no idea if this is really a practical possibility. I'd hate to see the historical value of the uncut sheet ruined for the individual cards.

I wonder if cards cut from a sheet (other than the manufacturer - Gum, Inc in this case)would pass through and get graded by SGC or PSA? Obviously the attraction to cutting the cards from the sheet is the possibility of having very high grade examples of the 9, 34 and 59 cards.

Jim won it, it was not ebay..He and Tom are just playing around. No intention of cutting up ....even if THEY are "cuttin up"! (smile)

We have many Non Sport Detectives on this board...Not just Richard, Jim, Mark,Dan, Jack Etc etc. And not just on Ebay.
These guys find everything...an asset to NET54

As for TPG...most are designated "Hand-Cut"....but you never know?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Flips Lie!

I'm sure Jim wouldn't cut up these treasures but it can be done. I seem to recall that a number of years ago Hugh Jones won the Sea Raiders uncut sheets (from Mastro) and had them cut into singles by a professional paper guy.
