Joe, I agree with you and Conner on the one-less bidder theory, but I think there is more to it than that. The exact same 33 Goudey Lajoie sold in Heritage for a 20% premium over what the same exact card sold for in Heritage in May. I know it�s a small sample, but that is an example of a major card being immediately relisted with better results (in Heritage). So while I think that may be a factor, I am thinking the following are equally applicable:

1. Heritage (and memory lane, REA, etc) get more eyes on stud cards than eBay, especially a Greg Morris auction on eBay (as opposed to pwcc, no offense to Greg Morris); and

2. I agree that the extended bidding format of Heritage (and REA and all other lot by lot closings), likely create a few extra bids, whereas the close at one-time, set -a-snipe format of eBay auctions may leave bids (and money) on the table.
