Derek: I had a snipe in for $939 on the Averill pair, but it did not register, due to the specific timing of my snipe versus your (and the winning bidder's) bids.

I won 3 of the 4 listed auctions, happy to win what I did. I agree prices were strong but when tough cards come up there are rarely bargains. 2 of the 3 I was less then 5% from my snipe max.

No plans to sell any but will probably use the dupes for trade bait as I am still looking for some tough Zeenuts, esp Waner brothers.

Gotcha! That makes sense. Didn't think of that. I actually haven't sniped on eBay in over 3 years. Not sure why.

I just recently set up an ebay search for the zeenut hall of famers, but I see now that it will be a long time before I get one!

Is anyone going to make on offer on this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1915-ZEENUT-...item51a63e3951 ?

Great card, but a little rich for my blood, especially since I have his "1913 brother" and got it for 50 times less than the astronomical BIN price on the 1915.

even at 50x less, those are some steep cards!

I saw the Heilmann too, the 1915 series is probably the toughest of all the Zeenuts (see Stan Coveleski). I'm sure that the seller is not expecting anything close to the BIN price, why not make an offer and see what happens?

$2K for the '13 Heilmann is actually a pretty decent price.

The red borders (1918?) are the toughest to find; been looking for an o'doul forever
