Based on the winning bidder they were unwinnable at any price!

I think Olbermann got a deal...... especially the ovals (D380-1) at $1K ea.


Lots of nice stuff for a Thur..... my fav was the E221 SF Seals card. Obviously they should adjust the book value on these. My bid was about 40% of the winner and I thought I had a chance.

I agree with Frank. I thought they were relatively inexpensive for how uncommon they are.

They were only inexpensive because the underbidders didn't go high enough. I'm willing to bet the three snipe bids were consistent with their rarity.

From the last several I have seen sold I thought the prices were about right...maybe a tad low. I bought one of mine that is really nice from the man with "America's Toughest Wantlist" and it was about $1400...and was quite a bit nicer than any of those. I bought it about a year ago......Neat cards ....My snipes were set quite a bit lower as I had already gone over my daily card allowance (actually my yearly card allowance) a little while earlier........regards

But isn't anyone impressed that he got each of them with a snipe during the last 5 seconds. Now that's some good sniping software.

I thought all snipes were with 5 seconds.... you get to pick the seconds. I pick 5

I cant remember the last time I actually bid on an item the normal way.

"I cant remember the last time I actually bid on an item the normal way."


Funny... you just reminded me of when I sniped a stuffed animal pluto doll.

completely unnecessary, but I am used to sniping stuff.

When I won it, I thought to myself - underbidders for this item had no chance.

Outside of the collectibles market, when we snipe something on eBay its almost unfair.

Totally agree. It's like being a hawk in a world of field mice.

Hi Pete,
I agree, the Osborn pose is awesome. It reminds me of a sharp photo series T209. Too bad Keith showed up, or my snipe would have won.

Be well Brian

PS I really like the type 2's.......

3 seconds before it ended

5 seconds before it ended

5 seconds before it ended


When guys have pockets that deep and a sniping system that is flawless, the average guy has no chance.

It's not when you bid, it is how much.

Deep pockets don't always go deep.....I have outbid/sniped lot's of folks with far deeper pockets than my blue jean ones....and if at least one of these underbidders really wanted these he would have won them. I think, as scarce as these are, the condition held them back from skyrocketing....just my opinion though....

I was setting my snipe on the last lot when my snipe service (Hanksta-3000X) was disrupted by my cat knocking over my beer on the kitchen table.
I had my Christmas bonus checking burning up and really wanted to spend it. My snipe would have been over Keith’s winning bid by $125, but I'm sure he was much higher.

Memories,
Sean BH

Sean- my cat likes to drink beer..true story, you can't make these things up. But I think he's got to get on the wagon soon (he only gets a tiny bit, that's his limit).

Slightly off topic, but has anyone ever noticed that every card that this seller sells has a small piece of tape on the back - whether its a t206 or some obscure/rare card like those above.

That suggests they all came from a single source, probably a scrapbook since many have back damage. He obviously found one fabulous book.

I got my second chance offer too. The email address looks legit, how do they get away with the bogus second chance offers anyway?

Wow. Great piece Leon. Congrads.

People said it was a million dollar wound. But the government must keep that money, cause I ain't never seen a penny of it.
