How does that happen to a sports card seller?

The only thing that could make this sale funnier would be if the Lenox was in Brown ink.

There are deals to be found on ebay if you dig deep enough. I picked up this postcard for next to nothing.

what a deal...i wonder if there were any other steals from this same seller?
His/her prices in general are pretty reasonable on most cards. |
#12
|
||||
|
||||
An employee must have listed that card and just went with the regular backs on the T206. No way does the seller honor that sale price.
|
#13
|

|
||||
How much is this card worth?!? T206 isn't my area.

I know the seller. His name is Howard Lau and he has owned Houston Sports Connection for probably 25+ years. One of his employees probably listed it at that price by mistake. |

Agreed. I had to stop looking as I was to tempted to hit BIN on a bunch of stuff that I don't normally collect (post WWII - Topps Bob Gibson, Nolan Ryan, etc..). You should never troll ebay after having a beer (or 10)...

Someone probably alerted him and offered more before he shipped.

A Lenox back with a common front, even in this condition, should sell for somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500.

From personal experience. There are deals to be had on ebay but it isn't advisable if you are the recipient of the deal to show this board the new acquisition until the card is in hand.

I think I'd throw up if I were the seller and later learned this is one of the rarest non-sport cards extant.

I didn't see any feedback left for the transaction so you may be right.

It's uncancelled too. Only one other one known, I believe.

Wonder what the story is...I now see from the seller's feedback that he sold other cards from the set. You have me intrigued...I'm tempted to contact the seller to see what the deal is.

Looking at the auction, it appears that the card was pulled. $9.99 was the opening bid. I am sure that they got a flurry of emails asking for a BIN price quickly, and decided to pull it down and let someone other than Ebay auction it off. Sorta like the same that happened to that woman doing the late night talk show circuit with that Cincinnati Red Stockings card.....

seller.....
shipped already

I know the seller. He goes to all the Raleigh shows. I will ask him next time I see him.
|
#35
|
||||
|
||||
Just out of curiosity, how much would an uncancelled McKinley go for? Is that an easy 6 figure card?
|
#36
|
|||
|
|||
Not 6 but definitely 5 figures
|
#37
|
||||
|
||||
Interesting. Ebay doesn't let you see anymore when a fixed price listing was first put up. I was curious to see how long some of these cards were floating around before somebody snatched them up.
I guess this is a lesson for those of us who weed out all the fixed price listings to only view the auctions. Last edited by D. Bergin; 05-19-2014 at 09:19 AM. |

My guess is either Greg didn't realize what he had or it wasn't real. But it will be interesting to find out.

Wow, I can't believe these things still happen with all the available information out there.

There are plenty of great deals to be had.... if you have time to dig! Off the top of my head, I got a T216 Mino for ~$12, a T206 Piedmont Factory 42 entirely by accident (crummy scans), and a Queen Victoria signed document for $60 or so.

seller made a mistake...
I already talked with him....poor bastard....real deal card.........
|
#43
|
||||
|

If he bought for a chunk and sold it for a sliver, that is one level of hell. If he bought it for a sliver (say in a pile of commons) and missed out on a chunk, that is another.
|
#44
|
||||
|
||||
I cant believe it, If he would have just Googled his own auction description.

I am totally blown away that someone who buys and sells card for a living puts cards on Ebay without doing one iota of research to see if a card is rare or valuable. I can understand not knowing everything about every single set that is out there, cause there are an absolute TON of sets out there. His auction title didn't even have the year (1932) or the maker of the card (US Caramel) anywhere in the title, nor the card number. It really had no keywords whatsoever in it for anyone to bid it up. Mind boggling.....

Caveat vendor.

Which seller?
Which seller did you talk to? The seller of the Lenox or the seller of the McKinley?
|
#48

I go to all the Raleigh shows. I've set up at every one since July. Do we know each other?

If you have vintage, pehaps. If you have modern, no.
|

|

I have both, but more modern. I usually have one case of vintage stars and a 3200 count box of low grade set fillers. No tobacco (yet).
