I don't know who it is, was wondering myself, but didn't want to post an ongoing auction. Many members will not like that. There is no rule against it but you just made more competition for anyone bidding.....I am sure they are appreciative.

If you were watching this and wanted to bid on it at the end, how would you feel about this thread? Just curious....

Tom Needham.

Thanks for the reply......yea I understand and thought about that before posting. I am currently the high bidder so I know it is a risk posting it. I figured since I was high on it, I am only hurting myself. At any rate, I needed to get a proper ID to see if I wanted to go any higher. Thanks

Wow.... I have to say what many others are thinking right about now. Are you freaking crazy? There is no way in the world, that if I wanted something on ebay, I would post it while live on this forum. No way in heck, but to each their own. Good luck on it...and please see my PM to you....thanks man!!

[JasonD08]

I knew the bashing I probably would get by posting but I needed the ID. I know I am taking a risk running it up as well. Info was sent.

Cheers,
Jason

I completely realize that....and if anyone missed it they surely won't now . Again, no major deal, it's just not what I would do if I wanted something. I prefer less competition if possible, not more.

Shouldn't there just be a rule enforced that no one can post a thread about a live auction, except in the instance it is a fake?


And that's a nice card.

[JasonD08]

Thanks Barry......FYI I put my max bid in at $3000.

[JasonD08]

No there cannot be a rule like that. This is an American site........not a communist one.

Nope, for myriad reasons there will not be that rule on this board. We have debated it several times before and always ended with the same conclusion.

Thanks Jason. I just reset my snipe for $2996.

[JasonD08]

LOL@Barry cool....I was hoping my bid would get maximized. Sorry again if I pissed anyone off, but I appreciate the identification Barry.

For the record, that is the identical image used for Needham in the 1905 Spalding Guide. I actually looked this up for somebody a few days ago.

Yeah I was watching that auction and wondering who the player was myself. When I saw it jump up to $500+ this morning, I was out. Nice card though.

Was the 1905 Spalding Guide the only place that this exact image was used? It wasn't on any card at all?
