Looks like two guys wanted this card (or maybe just one and a phantom bidder.) One guy has a feedback of 39 the other has no feedback. Looks like they got what they deserved. Silly, huh?

He says reprint several times... Plus the card doesn't even have the same image as the real Clemente rc....some people have too much money and it's auctions like this that help them get rid off it.

ok ,i was unclear wether you thought that shilling was driving up the price or just that the clemente reprint was getting such a high price. i am not sure what the card is worth?

I wasn't really clear either. I agree it looks like one shill bidder drove the price up on one newbie who really wanted that card.

While in the Wall st. area today, stopped into a collectibles shop I always make a point of visiting when in the area. While thumbing through a bin of dollar cards, I came across four of these. If I had only Known.................
