Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>Here comes the heat? It doesn't appear that Young is ready for the pitch. Maybe he should raise his bat and get ready.......And what's with the "Blah Blah Blah"? Doesn't seem like he has a lot of respect for his grandfather...Kind of rude I think. Also kind of sad to think that someone would need to seek refinancing on the house, to buy a $20.00 card. I better br careful who I get into the next elevator with, as the seller and I live in the same town.<br /><br /><br />Edited to say, I was using sarcasism as well. Very cool e bay write up. Loved it.<br />

Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p>that this may be considered by ebay to be "shill" bidding. There may actually be some mope-a-dope outside of our community that may want this pos. <br /><br />On the other hand it is not the lister who has enlisted us to bid on his card so maybe it really isn't. <br /><br />Was dengst du?

Posted By: <b>howard</b><p>Unless I'm misreading his feedback it seems that the seller just bought that very card on ebay for about $19.

classic ebay write up.......but refinance the house?
 

Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p>that's not the same card. Probably an upgrade from the pos now listed. The PSA 1 makes no mention of the paper loss on the front of the card.

classic ebay write up.......but refinance the house?
 

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>he picked up two other unslabbed youngs that i saw (didnt go too far back in feedback listings), but neither was that card either. i guess just a young fan for some reason

Posted By: <b>Rick</b><p>This auction has only been up for a day and it has over 400 hits on the counter. Should we have a pool for the # of hits this gets over the 10 days? We could each chip in a SCG10 T206 and the winner takes all.

classic ebay write up.......but refinance the house?
 

Posted By: <b>Sean</b><p>Well, the idea was to make a fun and entertaining listing. Which I think was accomplished?<br /><br />The next move is that all the proceeds from the auction (after eBay's cut) will be donated to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. The donation will be made in the buyer name and I will furnish proof.<br /><br />The BB/BS is a great organization and would benefit greatly from this.<br /><br />Thanks for the bids!<br />Sean BH<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bbbs.org/site/c.diJKKYPLJvH/b.1539751/k.BDB6/Home.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbbs.org/site/c.diJKKYPLJvH/b.1539751/k.BDB6/Home.htm</a><br /><br /><br />My guess for hits - 987<br /><br />
