I see you already got the money, do you want to see if the under bidder wants one for his underbidder price? I would definately sll mine for that it is in much better shape.

yikes! I thought he did good on it when it reached $71 on the last day but Elliots right,if im ever selling something,tbob can list it for me.

I actually wrote tbob about this card and he said he promised to put an Old Put stamp on the card for whoever wins it,thats my guess why the price went so high.I bought a t205 Jimmy Collins with a tbob Old Put back and i paid about the same amount

Hey Brian,i dont think it was a big secret if it reached this price and ive seen the most common, commons listed as very rare,scarce,etc..........besides if youve read any Tbob post about tough t206s,hes been talking about this cards toughness for years,i remember him saying it back back on the fullcount board.


it might look like i pulled a hankron but i was answering elliots post with my first response,so i didnt actually just answer myself

1) Yes I have already received payment.
2) Yes, it is a "common" but so is the T207 Johnny Kling. All the guides have the Kling listed (or they used to) at a common price despite the fact that it is almost impossible to find. If you have been following the T206s religiously on eBay, you will see that the Rhoades arm extended and (yes) Lindaman are two very, very tough cards, especially in EX or better. I don't know why there are so few for sale, but there are. John is right, I have been saying for years that the Rhoades arm extended is very, very tough and a few guys like Ty have been hoarding them and sprung them on eBay today after seeing what mine went for. I wish I had more.
3) What I didn't appreciate is a guy I've never heard from before emailing me and arguing about the relative scarcity of the card (everyone is entitled to their opinion) and then emailing the buyer and telling them the card isn't that scarce. It was all I could to keep from emailing this person and blasting him and telling him to keep it to his frigging self.
4) Hey, I was due to catch lightning in a bottle once in a while. Many of you have before.
5) Those of you who have followed my sales in the past know that I don't use the term "rare" unless it is a near one of a kind item (like my uncatalogued Johnny Kling or Frank Chance caramel card proofs) but I feel the term "scarce" is subjective and can be used to describe a card which is one of the toughest commons in a set filled with around 400 of them.
6) Anyway, I was happy, the buyer was happy, what else matters?

LOL. John I hope the people reading that know of your cutting sense of humor
Speaking of Old Puts, did anyone here win the blue one in Barry Sloate's auction (blue-now talk about a rarity)? I was wondering what it went for but couldn't get Barry's web page to access for some reason...

from the guy telling you this Rhoades variation wasn't that scarce. At least, I believe it is the same person, as it sure sounds like it! He sent me the e-mail after I listed some Rhoades Arm Extended cards (after seeing what yours realized). BTW, congrats. - you are a great guy and deserve the price! It is hard to say what prices some of the scarcer cards will bring until they are listed correctly on eBay with prices these days! As for Lindaman - tough, but not near as tough as Rhoades Arm Extended! I would let you people know of another very undervalued T206 variation, but now yet (or at least until I can hoard a dozen or so more)! Anyway, Tbob did tell everybody about this Rhoades variation for years now - just glad he could stike "gold" with one first!

would pay an arm and a leg for them: commons, HOFers, boring cards, interesting cards--you nsme it. For instance, in the T202 set, there are 2 common "Just Before the Battle" cards that it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to find, and "Elberfield Beats the Throw," and (difficult to find in good condition) "Chase Safe at Third." All commons!

Besides the acknowledgedly scarce Devlin variations with Giants and Rustlers...

Could the card in question be like one of these?

Rhoades may be scarcer but Lindamin is common as dirt. I watch them for the NO RED B on cap and they come up very often. Dan.

Bob, this is what eBay considers auction tampering. You may want to report him.
