Taking a break from the hobby (and that is why I hate .99 cent auctions!)

Burkett naturally is to blame for the 9 dollars.

What do I know? At some point there was an indication above my post that the card sold for $75.

I don't believe I have ever dealt with either party and did not take sides.

Carry on, while I check the expiration date on my degree in mathematics.

I didn't even look at the card before buying, just figured I should set a record on VCP. Never done that before. But since I don't subscribe to VCP, I guess I don't know if I did in the past... thanks for letting me get a cool card that I hear is a PSA 6 and well-centered.

Two teams tied, 29-29. Who won?

I dont know where the $9 or $8 are coming from. I wanted to snipe it at $66, VCP was $68 at the time. The card ended at $114 with me as the winner. I'm no mathematician, actually yes I am, but the difference is $48. I felt that it was significant enough, given the card, that I could at least ask Robert for the favor. I thought it wouldn't hurt. (Boy, was I 100% wrong. Proof through this ongoing thread)

I feel like a broken record. VCP should be thrown out the window on this card!! You want the card for $66? I can sell you one that is centered 95/5. You got a sliver of white on the left hand side. That is your $66 card. The cards that are even REMOTELY centered (58/42 or better), ARE NOT selling for VCP average!!!! VCP average can get a lot of people in trouble. If a card looks 2 grades nicer than the grade, are you still gonna be hung up on VCP average??? I hope you do, because that allows me to win a super looking card for a song!

Robert,
I completely agree. A card is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You had the card up as a BIN and nobody bought it at $90. Intuition would tell me then that is would sell at auction for... A) more than $90 or B) less than $90? By just that, $66 seems more reasonable of an outcome than $114.

So there are obviously a lot of factors that go into the selling price of a card. I was hoping to get lucky. Nobody wanted it at $90, so I was hoping the maybe $66 would do it. Go figure that the card then goes for $114.

Actually no, you can't sell me a $66 PSA 6 with 95/5 centering. PSA standards wouldn't allow such a card in a 6, technically speaking, but that's a whole other can of worms.

Most importantly, why is that stupid Incredible Hulk graphic next to my name now?!?

Wait a minute, that makes me a troll? I thought it was a legitimate question. I leave Net54 for a few days, I come back, and now I've got that graphic next to my name. I don't know how it got there, nor how to get rid of it. If anybody (Leon?) knows how to get rid of it, please pm me. Thanks!

Edit: wait, now it's gone. Maybe it was my phone? Has anybody else experienced this??

And any Yale person worth a lick (including the now-ancient Dr. Frank B from that very 1968 class) knows that Yale lost. The headline from which the documentary takes its title is, IMO, right up there with some of the classics such as "Reds' Brezh Dead."

If the best you have to offer is celebrating a 48 year old tie, more power to you.

It would also be more accurate to note that this game was played in the fall of 1968 by the class of 1969 that graduated the following Spring.

One of my friends at the game met a lad from Harvard in the rest room. After finishing their business the lad from Harvard went to sink and washed his hands. The Yalie headed for the door. The lad from Harvard commented "at Harvard we are taught to wash our hands after using the rest room."

To wit the Yalie responded "at Yale we are taught not to pee on our hands."

Bow wow wow or whatever that purported fight song is.
