<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1153740, member: 24633"]In 2005, I spotted a P-D-S set of the 1938 Oregon Trail still in the original card with beautiful tab toning. It had just been listed by a dealer I often checked, so I got on the phone immediately to buy it. Wouldn't you know that it had already sold just two minutes before my call. There have been a few times since then that I found a nicely toned Oregon Trail, but it always ended up that the auction went well beyond what I was willing to pay. Yes, hardly a week goes by that there aren't OT's listed on eBay, but every one of them is just blah blast white which doesn't appeal to me at all. Last night, I dropped by Mark Feld Rare Coins as I do every so often, and there it was, a wonderfully toned 1926-S. It's in an NGC MS67 slab, and I wasn't going to pause even a moment to consider if I could afford. I contacted Mark, and he will be putting it in the mail tomorrow. So, here it is, and I'm as happy as a pig in........... Enjoy!</p><p> </p><p>Chris</p><p> </p><p>Photos courtesy of Mark Feld[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
