so when talking thousands and thousands of dollars...maybe the winning buyer was willing to 'overpay' by 1-3 percent to win the card....to me thats just market price ...we expect to lose 5-10% on any card we buy at a huge auction and sell the next week in an auction. Now on private sales i can see someone 'overpaying' when no one else would pay within 50% of what a guy paid to pry a card out of someone's hands...but still time will tell. but again in a fair auction...noone is going to be paying 50% more than the market due to all the under bidders.....in a private deal , all you have is the seller saying 'i already have someone offering X for the card' thats not as legit as seeing a real bid in an auction.. |

when you do a private deal you have no way to know if someone else is even willing to bid close in a hysteria situation if thats all it was.. |

George Carlin hit the nail on the head:
“Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”

I'm sure the guy who bought the James card said to his family and/or friends, "Sometimes you gotta say WTF"
