and a second ebayer asked how much to end it which was replied w/ "im open to an offer..."

it will not be ended early.

Bob, you're doing God's work.

this is absolute nonsense, actually!

i have literally been peppered w/ several great and tempting offers already to end it.

4 very legit offers actually and several by good people (amongst all the boards) that did not know this was my account.

there absolutely is no "buying group".

i can tell this already and still have almost 5 days to go.

and yes, i did intentionally mislead by saying "1950's rc".

thanks, bud.

and didn't even hype up the card in the listing one bit.

simply put: "let the card do the talking"

no extra fillers or puff fluffers like "centered, high end, top-tier, hot, pop blah" or any of that non-sense.

i even put $30 shipping to kinda sorta work against the d@mn thing!

That's just so dang odd. I'm really still trying to wrap my head behind the meaning of all of this. I don't follow the hobby as deeply as some of you, because frankly I don't have the $$$, but it's really fascinating to see all of this go down and play out.

original lowballer / buying group theorist / guy who had his card listed @ $7xxx has now retracted his bid and lowered his card drastically.

even funnier part: this person also has **16** bid retractions.

very interesting. maybe i should out'em?

and nightman,

don't worry about wrapping your head around it. just thought id have some fun and obtain some real data on one of these "hot" rookie cards that this supposed buying group is sucking up.

the only thing that has been suspicious so far is original n54'r trying to lowball which had the same non centered card @ $7500 claiming the buying group.

exact opposite of what i was expecting.

btw: and just so nobody makes any false accusations, it is ***NOT*** peter.

What's happening with your card is super interesting and very entertaining. Can't believe a n54'r tried to lowball you, while selling the same card for 2.5 times what they're asking for theirs. That's like taking a reprint Mantle rookie, scuffing it up, and duping buyers on the bay. Thankfully you're not gullible and know what your cards are worth.

Any update on the mystery card experiment?

begsu1013 · #8 06-02-2016, 06:33 PM

2 more offers, stuck at $2550 and will prolly stay there til the last 10 secs.

a few great conversations though!

several more 7s surfaced, but centering is key! 😉
