I saw this on ebay and was surprised it didn't sell for more.

Marine Corps dress cover with what looks like a Meyer EGA.

Named to Robert Dale Reem, KIA/MOH during the Korean War.

Looks to be in excellent condition. Sold for $200.

Did this go under the radar?

I had a bid in on it, but not a really solid one as it's not really something I collect, but I felt bad it wasn't getting much attention! I thought it went pretty low as well.

If you look carefully you can see that the hat is the exact one in the photo of Reem.

 

I've got 300 :love::rolleyes:

I put a $200 bid on it, but of course someone came in with $201 :) . It definitely could be Reem's, but because of the fact that the provenance is only the card inside, I didn't feel to comfortable going much higher (although if I had known, I would have been able to go the extra dollar!).

I was about to bid $250 but I blanked on the auction after getting the 15 minute notification on my phone. The newborn needed feeding! I guess it wasn't meant to be. I thought it was going to go for higher..

Wow, went for a steal i would have paid at least $300 for that one! Shame i missed it, been busy lately and seem to be missing a lot! I guess thats the way of the world!

What a great deal! You almost have to pay that much for a brand new one at the PX!

 

As a 2ndLt, I doubt he would have had more than one. So assuming the card wasn't just slipped in last week, that's an amazing find.

Agreed, someone got a fantastic deal on what is undoubtedly his hat. These name cards are not widely faked (yet) and those that do leave tell tale signs, of which this one does not display.

Sadly those cards are faked edp for MOH recipients...not casting judgement on that one as I am on a 3 inch screen at the moment

 

The emblem alone is worth 150+ though
