It happens every day in life and not just for cards.

Click on the first link. I originally offered it for $22. When I bumped it to $24, then I had a fish on the hook. Unfortunately, I didn't hear back from him and that's when I listed it in the live auction. The strategy obviously works. I can give you many examples of this in every day life with many other products.

That's not necessary, but thanks for the offer

Looking at past sales, I'm not convinced $190 was a bargain, I would say it's pretty much in line to averaging high. Six sales (PSA 5) had an average sale price of $177.03 before shipping. High 207.5 low 153.33

How much did the last blue line '56 Williams SGC 60 sell for, or are you lumping all the variations together?

That's fair. I lumped them all together as I did not think any of the variations sold for a premium.

Blue line variation already over $200 with 24 hours left...
