[Cardboardkid]

Thank you for taking a moment to check out my post, it’s been awhile...I’ve been extremely busy... work And home Reno’s..., I have a bunch of new additions, and a bunch enroute... Which I hope to post soon... but today I have an awesome story I want to share... As everyone knows Dr. Price offered the ‘51 and ‘62 Gordie Howe autos here ...I liked the ‘62 design and purchased one... I seen a few days after receiving it... Tim (Chillychow) was looking for one for his PC... I contacted Tim and offered to trade it... Tim didn’t have any Schultz but was very interested... a day later COMC... haD an eBay auction ... Dave Schultz Panini Engravatures /10... this card had become a white whale as I’ve only seen 3 come up for sale... one sold above What I was willing to pay at that time... next one I lost within seconds of the auction end... and this one... I contacted Tim and asked if he’d be willing to bid on the card .. if he won.. I’d trade him even for the Howe... Tim was concerned about the $39.95US that COMC wanted for shipping... so .... we contact Mark.. MQ13...For a US address and reasonable shipping fee... Mark agreed to bid on the card to the agreed amount... long story short... mark/ Tim won the auction.. I shipped the Howe to its new home... and Mark shipped me the Schultz.... huge thanks to Tim and Mark for making this happen!!!

Dude! That’s huge! I’m still waiting to land a Hjalmarsson Engravatures. Haven’t seen one in probably 5+ years and have only seen two total. It is THE “attainable” white whale of my Hjalmarsson PC without question.

Great story and three great members involved.

Apparently there is a way to buy those auctions and have it added to your COMC account so you can just have it shipped with your next shipment.

Someone tried to explain it to me but I didn’t have an auction to try it.

I'd have to agree, a most awesome story of cooperation and such.

Congrats on this great addition to your PC. :beer:
