You've gotta hand it SRA. I don't think the card would have brought 80k in any of the major sports auctions.

I'm glad they found something on Net54 that they could use:

"While it is similar to the card in the Library of Congress, the card found in Maine is printed from a different negative. The two images originally could have been viewed together through a stereoscopic viewer, which created the illusion of three-dimensional depth from two-dimensional images."

This is the problem with auction hype. Now some guy spent 80k thinking it's going to triple and pay for his 4 year old's medical expenses.

Even if it doesn't triple the 80K would be gone if it weren't tied up in the card. I don't see it selling for less. Still a good investment.

What was/is this guy thinking? Some combination of the following, I'm guessing.

1. The winning bidder feels that somehow all the knowledgeable collectors (except one, the underbidder) missed hearing about this item, but he was lucky enough to attend the secret auction and get a steal
2. The winning bidder knows nothing about baseball collectibles, but figured that as long as someone else was bidding, it was safe for him to place another bid
3. The winning bidder thinks there's someone on ebay who knows even less than he does
4. The knowledgeable collectors weren't at the secret auction because they will all be waiting on ebay, since that's where they feel most comfortable spending their money

So, knowledgeable collectors - Don got the scoop for you. Go fish in the bay tomorrow.

Thanks for that breaking news, Don. You've been all over this from the beginning. Did you get any interviews with the media today?

100% agree. Kudos to Troy and them for putting together a great auction.

LOL at whether she's the girlfriend or the auction model. I bet the guy drives a bright yellow Hummer.

This guy has hundreds of lots listed on Ebay now, most of it low value material. This is all very strange. Not the typical MO of someone who goes out and spends almost $100,000 on a card, and a very esoteric card at that.

I think she's the auction model. If she's the girlfriend, I would have signed up and tried to outbid him.

There is a very good chance the card sold for what it did because of the publicity. (kudo's to SACO for that) If ya'll remember the Peck and Snyder that was on Jay Leno, from the nuns, brought about 75k in auction. The next time it sold it sold for approx. 30% less, if I recall correctly. At any rate congrats to Troy, Saco Auctions, the consignor.....and I guess the winner.

I agree the price was most likely enhanced by all the hoopla...the price doesn't surprise me as much as the buyer?!
