3 cards, $40.65. They also have a great workaround for California law. They are not allowed to charge tax on Shipping charges here so they state it as "service and handling" to avoid the law. Just to squeeze a couple more dollars out. Nice!

Just curious what the value of the 3 cards is? And thanks for the bids and wins too!!

I bid $190 for one card and won. with BP $227

Shipping was $19.30 and sales tax was 22.68 (I live in the same state as Tim - no Heritage office in Illinois) for an additional $41.98 in fees. Considering I have to wait 7-14 days to get my card, that is ridiculous.

I found this in a quick search.

Thanks for posting that Peter - explains the tax for me anyhow.

well, that's a drag. Paragraph 25 gives no more info. I wonder what exactly what is the requirement that requires Illinois sales tax to be collected.

Looks like the buyer(s) of the T206 Mathewson proof ($35,850) and T206 Mullaney-Cy Young multi-strike ($19,120) will make a nice profit flipping them. From a post this past April:

That's easy, Tim--the state is corrupt, just like Pennsylvania!

Cheers, Mike

Regarding the shipping...it seems that this issue has come up more than once before. Seems that last time, we wrote Pete Calderon and he resolved the shipping stuff for us.

In case you're wondering, my shipping total is $83.65....heh...so I'm sure something can be worked out. Don't they usually botch the invoices at first before fixing them all within a day or two?
