Re: UC Featured Collector for Mar/April 2014 - Robert Lancas
Okay, now this is interesting/weird:
I just found a copy of the "Palestine Play-card" deck listed on eBay, with a Starting Bid set at $1,200:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-c1920-P ... -Nouveau-/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
CLICK TO VIEW LISTING
While pricey, it's less than half the Minimum Bid (or maybe it was the Buy it Now Price) was the last time I saw it on eBay, which was $2,700! (I don't recall whether or not that one sold).
What's weird (even a bit surreal to me) is that I AM QUOTED IN THE LISTING!!
The seller quotes my comments about the deck from my "Interview" in the opening post of this thread!

This almost has to be the same listing. Same quote of your UC "interview" from the OP.

I have two Palestine decks from about the same time period, but have bison/buffalo backs. I will have to find them... I have seen them recently for about $100, made in Great Britain by Waddington.

Mike, I just noticed that in your sig, you say "Bonefide" when it should be "Bona Fide" (two words, with an "a", not an "e").Mike Ratledge wrote:This almost has to be the same listing. Same quote of your UC "interview" from the OP.
