Looks like a big loss for the seller.

How do we know it sold?

Anyone who would list a rare card like that with Probstein and his 20,000+ EBay listings is either
Probstein
A dear close friend of Probstein
or an idiot.

i watched this end last night...I actually considered throwing in a bid late as I thought the price was low! I just couldnt get past the back damage.

Quick flip and the seller took a bath. To add insult to injury, now they have to pay Ebay 10% for the privilege of losing $5,000.

If the "winning" bidder doesn't pay, Ebay gets nothing and the seller loses nothing.

Never understood the attraction of this card, issued nearly two decades after his playing career. Yeah, I know it's short printed or whatever.

It seems Heritage's image is brighter & it looks like a better card
Maybe this has something to do w/ it.
Or the winning bidder of Heritage's card was the consignor & no longer bidding on it w/ Probstein

My experience suggests that many cards in Heritage appear brighter.

One turned up on Reddit and I initially though it might be it, but I'm sure it's not now. Pasted in a scrapbook. Came our pretty clean.
