Response to Is T-209 the new hot set?
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Two people WERE willing to bid over $700 for the card, which is pretty amazing.
The third-high bidder was at $76, which is actually pretty remarkable too for a card in this condition. Forget about $700: even at $75 per beat-up common, T209 certainly appears to me to be a "hot set." The days of buyin' em for $10-15 are over."

Please allow me, (Joe P.) to give my take without anyone considering it an attack.
First of all, it wasn't I that called an opposing thought a Hothead, and had I been proven guilty of it, I would have acted in a standup, fair, honest way and owned up to it. Nuf Sed.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am a set collector, been one for a long time.
If a set is missing a known card, it is an incomplete set.
Why?
Because I know that the card exist and there is no way that I can convince myself that it doesn't.
I have 219 of the 226 known to me.
I needed that card. (set collectors will know what I mean.)
Tim Newcomb's keen observation:
"The third-high bidder was at $76, which is actually pretty remarkable too for a card in this condition. Forget about $700:"

$76.00 was one of the last few seconds bidders.
Now let's consider the above FACTS.
For the sake of discussion only.
If Larry was the seller of the above card, and he decided to apply his "TAKE AWAY PLAN" because of low bids.
He would have missed out on THE JOYS OF LIVING.
