Drum back on Ebay!

[Chicago206]

Very exciting for me as I havent seen one listed in the over 2 months I have been searching. What are your thoughts on the card itself, the fact its graded by a "subpar" company, and what you think the hammer price will be?


P.S.- I know that if the card was mine, it would WITHOUT A DOUBT be holdered in either a PSA or SGC slab!

Just an FYI - it's generally not a good idea to post an ongoing auction about a card you hope to win as it brings lots of attention (and other potential bidders) to it. That should be weighed against how critical the information you are asking is to you in your bidding.

Matt - I thought that rule only applied when something might not be properly listed. In this case, the card is in the correct category, is properly described and titled (The title clearly states it has a RARE DRUM back), and is being seen by everyone (just look at the number of bids already).

That's certainly a consideration, but there is also a "draw attention to" angle that frustrates bidders. The less talk the better -- unless you're the seller.

It's to bad he didn't have the magnifying glass on the scan so you can see what is up with the bend in the front. The big question is would this be Authentic in sgc or psa.

There is no rule at all - I was just giving him some practical advice...

I concur..... and there will never be a rule. It does irritate people bidding on it as it calls attention to it. Of course no matter what the situation or debate there will be opposing views. Personally, and this is not a rule, I would prefer not outing ebay ongoing auctions. Only for the reasons stated.

Ditto. People hate to see ebay auctions "outed" on Net54baseball.

I wonder why it is in a GAI holder. You could probably double/more your money in PSA or SGC.
