1953 Bowman Al Lopez PSA 5

[vintagetoppsguy]

I bought this card here on Net54 last week. When it arrived, I went to add it to my set and realized that I already had one. Therefore, I am relisting it for what I paid. I'll actually lose money because I will eat the shipping to the new buyer.

The PSA 5 is the one I purchased., The raw card is the one I already had. You can choose which one you want. The raw card has slightly better centering, the graded one has slightly better corners - so they're really about the same to me and I don't care which one I keep. No creases or any other issues on either card.

As a bonus, I'll also throw in #73 Billy Pierce. I'll call it VG/EX due to some wear on the left border (maybe rubber band marks) and the upper left corner. Other than that, it's a decent card.

$35 delivered PayPal F&F only. Thanks for looking.

I recently bid on a 52 Topps card that I thought was a really nice card for a very low price.

I was the highest bidder for a couple days until I was outbid on the last day. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to to check my list I mad up over 20 yrs ago and sure enough, I already owned one.

Curious, if I have of checked without being outbid, would it have been a wise move to retract my bid?
I read a lot on here about bid retractions, and from what I can gather, they are frowned upon by most members here so I am curious what most would have done in this situation?
Are bid retractions really that bad, or only bad if you abuse them?
