1909 T-206 Ty Cobb - "Ty Cobb" Back (#182791601925) US $338.00


Do people really think ungraded Ty Cobb with Ty Cobb backs are lottery tickets?

I have no sympathy for these folks because the guy bidding $338 knows if it's "the real deal" then he just absolutely fleeced the unwitting seller out of tens of thousands of dollars.

They can only bid one increment over the underbidder.

I've had a few things that I bid near retail on that I got a bargain because nobody else bid.
I'm really not sure how that's fleecing anyone, I bid big within the rules, nobody else did, so I got a great deal. Now someone gets them to end early with some lowball offer that's different. But somehow people see that as OK, even when it's against the rules.
