Would you use Ebay to flip a big $$$ card?

Could be the buyer needs the money for something they like better in the REA auction.... the chase is sometimes better than when I actually have the card in hand

I agree with the propostion that it would be one of the last cards I would sell. I ran a few adds in Sports Collectors' Digest back in the late '90's as a dealer (Forever Summer Cards) just to see how I'd like that perspective, and my wife really put the nix on it because I tended to be my own best customer (couldn't stand to part with the good stuff!). Unless you're immune to the appeal of vintage, my guess would be he needed money, in this economy.

Since BR is a known shiller you have to take any auction result with a large grain of salt.

That is so true. After I get something looking on to the next chase.
