Such an iconic card for collectors. I wish I could make an offer, but sadly my funds are not high enough right now.

Can you scan with a black or dark background...seems to be a lot of frosting on edges of holder.

Seriously Keith? This is not from the Colorado find or that crook in San Diego

Where's the frosting? I don't see cause for alarm here based on what's viewable.

Please PM me delivered price for the card.

+1. Nice looking card. Good luck.

Back of card above Charles....looks like a crack...pins on front scan look popped..is it too much to ask for a scan with a dark background before you spend 6,000 for a card with a blacked out serial number. Did not accuse anyone just asked for better pic.

Well at least the cert # does check out with PSA.

What's the purpose in blackening out the certification number??? (Seriously, I don't know the answer...Don't make fun of me (too much)...:)...)

I was going to ask the same thing...

I'm still waiting on a delivered price.

According to the first post it is for pick up only.

I received a PM from the seller with his explanation...

That's fine, I'll be in his area for a show relatively soon. He still hasn't sent me a price...

How do you know what area? Is this supposed to be a scavenger hunt?

I would assume so that the flip isn't easily duplicated for scam artists...it's somewhat of a common practice for higher priced items...not for everyone, but I see it here and there.

Where do you live since you want the buyer to pick up. I think that would help prior to us making offers.
Thanks

I believe I asked to PM me with offers. Some people have and some haven't. I take it, if you don't do that then you are not interested and fishing. I have a couple of people that made offers and I will contact them again. Thanks for the interest.

Please explain how when someone asks for a firm price that you will accept, and you say "A competitive offer for a very strong 2." it is fishing?

Funny, posting my exact line to you. I think you are the one who's fishing...

Can I get a complete scan of the card and case?

That's crap! How can one make an informed offer if they do not know where they would have to go to pick up the card?

As they say in law school, the seller is master of his offer. But it does seem a bit unusual to offer a card for pickup only at an undisclosed location and not to have an asking price.

This whole deal seems weird....I hope someone didn't get burned for too much!

This whole thread doesn't seem to pass the "smell test." I'd stay away.

All I know is that it would maximize value, to showcase a card like this in the right light-- for example a flush, high-rez scan that shows the entire piece, and location to be picked up. Could only help elicit the best possible offers.

This is the most "secretive" For Sale offer I've ever seen!

Most scammers ususally are.

Card is no longer available anyway per his first post

aww shucks

I am sure he is not a scammer. He simply wanted to do a deal in a particular way, which is his prerogative.

For what its worth, I traded some PMs and seller was more than open to answering questions and very responsive.

I guess my offer didn't merit a response then lol

Agree. This is in no way a scam, just very different.

True...at least he told you what the card was!!! I am surprised he did that!
