I thought the T210 craze had slowed a bit. A nice looking card from a tougher series. I just can't understand this price with a few hours left.

and they bid it to a reasonable price for the circumstances. had there been only 1 serious bidder it would have brought much less, however in retrospect I doubt either feels the other paid too much, as the tougher series card can bring $300+ when needed by someone pursuing the set.

I think the T210 craze has slowed down a good bit. However, there will always be set builders that will push an average card way past the expected price. I also believe that series 4 is underrated and should be considered tougher than it usually is. It is a pretty card and i'm sure the seller, who is a board member, is thrilled with the price that it's at.

Here is another similar instance that really suprised me. Either two set builders or one set builder and a collector wanting a presentable card from the set threw this one off the radar. Unlike the series 4, this was from the more common series 2, and a common card from the series.

It is a great catching pose though....

I think that may be a record price for anything associated with West Virginia ....
