Then there sure are a lot of fools, as they are establishing a dominant position in the hobby.

Don't think there are a lot of foolish collectors but an abundance of foolish investors. Because a certain price is paid for a certain card doesn't mean that that price will be sustained in the future. eBay is littered with overpriced cards that sellers seek because they live and die by VCP. Personally, I pay no attention to VCP and purchase cards that I feel is the right price for me.

I agree, it's not always possible to sell direct, but if I recall correctly the point of my post was that he shouldn't be faulted for giving direct a shot first.

right but you have gone on record that people really offer more at AH then they do direct thats just how it is if you plan on selling your card direct....so its a waste of time to try direct ..

in any event, if the guy was willing to take 20k, i assuming his reserve is around there at heritage..

what this card end at...

It appears that it didn't reach the reserve ($15,000).

In retrospect it seems predictable. Offering a card for sale for a year without having it sell has to decrease it's eventual sale price.

And for the record, I take no joy in this outcome. I have my own Cobb/ Lenox, so I really wanted this one to sell high.

i dont think everyone that bids on heritage is on net54 though..but im sure there are a lot that on both

[iowadoc77]

It is still available for $17,295 I believe, which is $15,000 plus the buyers premium if anyone is still interested through Heritage. It did not sell in the auction itself.

woudl make sense if you wanted the card for 15,500 etc to offer it directly to that guy he would net more

true. I am not interested in the card myself, but this is just what Heritage shows on their final auction results

Plus you had to pay a fee most likely to Heritage to have the reserve most likely

What is your obsession with this thread? You have posted 45 times accounting for just shy of 11% of the posts. You have bumped this thread 5 times - defined by a post that was made more than 24 hours after the prior post.

Move on.

[The Nasty Nati]

Agreed. This post needs to be taken down or moved to a different section. It's not fair to the people trying to sell their t206s.

Move on.

Almost 25% of those posts were the last 2 pages out of 42 pages on my settings (so about 5% of the prior 40 pages) and there was a significant event that occurred...auction ended...and

whats your obsession in counting posts...that was going to be my last post but like the republican debate, if my name is invoked or is inferred I may likely respond

[iowadoc77]

I vote for end the thread. Not fair to those trying to sell something.

Why do you keep reliving this stupid thread? Get a freaking life! Leon, Brian, please end this thread. Yes, I will not answer the question I received....Thanks, Kevin Mize

Agree wholeheartedly. Let's move on. This is ridiculous. I would be really upset if I was trying to sell something.

why do you reply to my post TWO days later ..let the thread die if thats what you want to do....perhaps its your plan to pretend to want the thread die but then to post TWO days later complaining why wont the thread die...i posted this just an hour or so after your post (and was already bumped to the top when i replied) so it hasnt been dormant for TWO days...let the thread die and stop posting.....iowa doc also posted 2 of the last 4 posts as well so i would think iowadoc should refrain from posting if wants the thread to die as well...thanks

put your name on the post asoriano...why do you continue to bump the thread? Not sure why you listing names unless they do exactly whatever you do ( i edited the prior post to not bump this thread)

[asoriano]

Jake is up there with some of the best...

Chicago206, Adrian, Adam Moraine, Marshall Barkman

[pokerplyr80]

I believe Leon has allowed this thread to continue in this section for the entertainment value. It certainly is one of a kind, and it's impact on others trying to sell in this section is minimal at best. Less of an issue than guys posting 2-4 separate listings for each card they're trying to sell, then bumping those threads every couple of days.

I say if it bothers anyone that much, stop opening it.

[rocarroll]

Whoopsie

[1952boyntoncollector]

Can buy the card now for 17,000 or so Make an offer/buy it now Heritage deal that people love so much.....(i didnt hurt anyone on b/s/t with this post as Rocarrol just already bumpted it with a reply a few mins ago apparently) Plus will now be interesting to see if anyone actually buys the card, I guess when you lose money on a reserve auction when noone buys it they let you keep it on the site with a buy it now feature perhaps

[Bigb13]

Just wanted everyone to know that this Red Cobb is still for sale.

[uniship]

What's the asking price?

[Bigb13]

20k

[mansco]

Interesting factoid about this thread. It began 2 days before the First Four of the 2015 NCAA Division 1 Basketball Tournament. It is now the last night of the 2016 Tournament, day 387.... and counting ?????

[bounce]

isn't this in the preview for the may heritage auction? so it's going round again?

[iowadoc77]

Becoming my least favorite card if all time.
Quickly.
So glad this got bumped back up.
Woohoo

Eric, what a great idea for a thread: name your least favorite card. I'll bet that most of us have a particular card that we're sick of.

[iowadoc77]

It's obvious where I stand, but think we better start this on the main page so as be in line with the forum rules.

[Luke]

Leon, please take mercy on us all and move this thread somewhere. This is so ridiculous, lol.

[iowadoc77]

if ever there was a reason to move a thread!

[Bigb13]

The card is still for sale if you don't like it don't look and don't post.

[Luke]

You've tried here for over a year and poisoned its value in the process. Put it on ebay.

[CMIZ5290]

I do remember when this thread was first started. King Kong was a monkey....

[Bigb13]

I said nothing about your thread or your card what is your problem?

Robert, nothing personal. I was simply stating how long this thread has been going on. Nothing against your card, but I think this thread should have either been ended or moved. Just my take, that's all....

Get a sense of humor!!!

[Bigb13]

How can you have a sense of humor on this board when people always have something to say?

[iowadoc77]

I was hoping this thread would get brought back to life...
Said no one.

[Bigb13]

Don't you have anything better to do beside comment on this thread?

[iowadoc77]

Apparently not today

[Bigb13]

Go drill some teeth

[823dek]

general question. Have you had any serious offers or are the majority ball breakers jealous that they do not have the card. I guess any attention is good attention. It is like an ugly woman with a great body.........

[Bigb13]

I have had a couple of offers but mostly jealous BB

[Sean]

That PSA 3 Cobb/ Lenox in Memory Lane will be sold in three days. Maybe that will help set the market for this card.

Why did you bump this thread? Unless you pulled the card from auction, it isn't available for sale here on the BST. Over a year of attention whoring with this thread hasn't been enough for you?
