Default Wow

Wow, that card is beat. In terms of price, unless he had 10 like this and you shot him an email saying I'll take all 10 for $7/ea. then you should not haggle on just one card IMO. One thing you might do is buy the card as a BIN and then if he has other cards w/Best offer send a tasty offer and maybe the guy would accept a somewhat low offer since you already bought a card at full price plus they could combine shipping. Think about it at this sellers pov which is that their basement for T cards and assuming at the very best he got this card for $5 and considering his time + fees = $3 then if he drops it to your offer what's the point--where's the profit margin?

I can't remember if you are one of the new collectors but if you are I would decide very, very early on what condition you like & can afford and do not stray below that line as you will inevitably end up wanting to upgrade that card and will likely breakeven or worse if you buy lesser grade at first and then decide later to upgrade....In my mind, for T206 gd/vg are nice enough for eye appeal and fall into that affordable zone of $20ish/common....

In short, you don't want to be that guy at the flea market that asks "Do you have change for a nickel?"
