Auction Mayhem

Boy, what a week.
Wednesday I won two more W502 cards in the Goodwin auction. A very nice Stanley Harris and Ray Schalk, bringing my grand total to 8/60. I was actually very pleased with this, since the cards came to me for less than $180.
Thursday I went bananas in the Huggins and Scott auction. It was T205s this time, and I dropped some cash on a lot of 33 low to mid-grade raw cards, and some more cash on a lot of 11 SGC-graded midgrade cards (mostly 50s and 60s), including a Christy Mathewson with a Sovereign back.
I really wanted to add one of the four big cards in the set (Cobb, Young, Johnson, and Matty) before the end of the year. The Matty is probably the smallest-dollar card, but picking up a nice SGC 50 with a tougher back was a pretty cool thing.
I'm now about 40% complete, which is something I never thought I'd ever say.
