Went for $2313. Really really cool card, and the condition is unreal. I was in the bidding until pretty late, but at the end of the day just couldn't justify that lofty price tag for a card that came out 26 years after he died.

LOL

"The high bidders percentage is too high stay away"

"I was in it right up to the end"

Almost the oldest auction trick there is. And it hardly ever works.

That was my attempt at board satire my friend. I've made crystal clear for years that I bid in PWCC auctions. I think lots of the gripes about them are way overblown. Nevermind redundant. Crooks everywhere.

Ah. I totally missed the gag. Sorry.

If I could get identifying information from most of the leading AHs about who was bidding in their auctions and how often, and how often bidders retracted bids and just refused to pay, I'm sure I'd have a new hobby tomorrow. As pointed out before, some of these places explicitly reserve the right to bid on their own items. Bidding against the place running the auction. Now that's a kick.

It went for $3700, dude!

Did this thread play a role in that? Hmmm ... I doubt it, because if it did, then I will be starting a new one soon (when I want to sell my vintage creased up hockey cards).

You are correct. Guess my phone didn't update eBay this am.
