Beggars can't be choosers

Well, so far I'm 2-for-4 on the W502s that have been offered over the last week or so. Here's the cream of the crop, an SGC 80 Artie Nehf, the second-highest-graded Nehf on the planet (there's an SGC 86 out there somewhere). I have an off-grade Meusel coming, and I missed a Cobb and a common, but I'm not done yet, either.
Snagged a bunch more T205s this week, which was nice, including a Zach Wheat - my favorite T205 card, in SGC 60.
I also got some oversized grades back from SGC this week, although it will be a while before I actually get the cards. I sent them some R303s that I needed scans of for an article I'm writing for SGC Collector magazine, and many of those came back 70s and 80s, which was great. I also snuck in my T3 Nap Lajoie (SGC 50, which I kinda expected, but it's a NICE 50), and my Newsboy John Ward (SGC 10, which was also what I expected). Can't wait to see those oversized bad boys in the new holder.
Kevin Saucier sent me this cool Sportflics Bruce Sutter card for my HOF set - apparently it's some sort of test issue, and tough to find. I know nothing from Sportflics. But he sent it as a donation to the collection. Kevin is a cool guy.
