Posted By: <b>Marc S.&nbsp; </b><p>You see an item on Ebay that you are interested in -- but the starting bid ($199) seemed higher than you thought the card was worth. So you put the card on your Ebay "watch" list, and lo and behold, the card is BIN'ed for $299- two days later.<BR><BR>Not sure whether to kick myself -- or to thank myself for not overspending on a card. I would have loved to un-entomb this one and put it in one of the T206 collections I am working on.

Posted By: <b>TBob</b><p>That's why all those weird cheap little toys and candy bars and such are displayed in front of you at the check-out line. The old impulse buy theory. I must admit I have BINed myself out of an impulse and then later thought, "what was I thinking?" <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Although I am no T206 guy (per se) I thought it was 2x value at the opening bid.....I agree with BCD on this one.....breast regards

Posted By: <b>Marc S.</b><p>But, nonetheless, I have a very difficult time finding <i>any</i> Philadelphia Nationals cards with a Broadleaf back.<BR><BR>I was hoping that the auction would end without a bid, and that I could pick it up for $125 - $150...

Posted By: <b>B C Daniels</b><p>and you are probably correct......now send Schmitty my way!

Posted By: <b>ockday</b><p>I bought the card on Ebay ungraded and described as EX+ for $189 and it came back a PSA 3. So I started it at my cost and put a BIN that I figured would vanish with the opening bid. To my pleasant surprise , it sold via BIN. You win some ..and you lose some. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><BR>Alan

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>There was never any harm meant in my saying that I thought it was a little high to start with. I have had things go high, low, and in between, on ebay. I have lost money on some and made it on others.....kudo's to those that can make a buck buying and selling.....regards all

Posted By: <b>ockday</b><p>Just was giving the "behind the scenes" of that card as I also wonder alot of times why cards are listed for and also sold for, the prices that they are.<BR>By the way..the best part of the story is soon after the auction ended I got an email from an Ebayer who posts here , saying if the buyer reneged he would pay $400 for the card!So go figure.

Posted By: <b>Nick</b><p>I offered the $400.00. <BR><BR>I have never seen a broadleaf back sell for that low. Granted, my focus for the last 3 decades has been 1950's cards. I have only focused on pre-war for the last two years. So maybe my knowledge of the market is not what it should be.But,like I said...I have never seen the Broadleaf Backs from either series sell below $400.00. If anyone has some they would like to sell in the $100-200 price range mentioned above I'll take em!<img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Nick<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>BL 350's are fairly common - it's the 460's that cost an arm and a leg.

Posted By: <b>Nick Martinez</b><p>What is the collective thought on the value of a Uzit back in G-VG condition. I just bought one and I am hoping I didn't do the wrong thing!<BR><BR>Whatsmore is I am not supposed to be buying rare T206 backs.After my latest promise to stay focused on what I collect(mostly cuban and latin players). I am not only buying things I shouldn't, but buying them for too much. This maybe a buying spree gone truly wrong! I need an intervention...<BR><BR>Nick<BR><BR>PS:Excuse the typo above, I meant to write "That was me".
