lakenormanusa Posted August 7, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 7, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted August 7, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 7, 2017 Wow, good price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 7, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 7, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadet Posted August 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted August 7, 2017 $200 was a bargain for it IMO...neat piece. If you look carefully, it is the one he is wearing in the portrait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted August 7, 2017 Share #5 Posted August 7, 2017 If you look carefully you can see that the hat is the exact one in the photo of Reem. I've got 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniformcollector Posted August 7, 2017 Share #6 Posted August 7, 2017 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!).

Lucky 7th Armored Posted August 10, 2017 Share #7 Posted August 10, 2017 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.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMariner Posted August 10, 2017 Share #8 Posted August 10, 2017 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarhead8007 Posted August 10, 2017 Share #9 Posted August 10, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted August 10, 2017 Share #10 Posted August 10, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted August 14, 2017 Share #11 Posted August 14, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
