I won the blank-back T204 (lot #270) for $92 plus the BP for my type collection.
Ed, I hear you re the high s/h handling charges. When I received my Mile High invoice, I felt the shipping charge was too high - so I sent this email to Brian:
"Hi Brian,
Congrats on another successful auction.
I am pleased to have won this card, but I am not pleased with the $10.15 shipping charge. I occasionally sell single, graded cards on eBay, and the cost to ship one regular-size card via First Class Mail is about $6.00, including USPS insurance. A little over a year ago, I won a larger, more expensive card that was in a much larger, heavier slab, and your shipping charge was a reasonable $7.75 - here's the link to that MHC invoice: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This old retiree will be happy if you can see your way clear to charging no more than the same $7.75 for this auction winning.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,
Val Kehl
Manassas, VA"
A few hours later, I received a new invoice via email from Mile High which shows a more-reasonable s/h charge of $7.50. This approach doesn't always produce a positive result, but it's worth a try.
