Jeff, maybe the 2 guys who bid it up that high in the past were the only 2 at that level. Now that one guy has it there is little desire at that price point. Maybe the recession is hitting home. Maybe goodwin's was the first one sold in a while and now the competion has dried up.

Dan, if there were two guys who bid it up to 279K, why didn't the underbidder scoop in and save 40K last night? I'm guessing choice d).

I like this auction too: same, identical card

Heritage: D304 Young SGC 6 $17,925
Goodwin: D304 Young SGC 6 $80,053

Damn that recession!

These two auctions also indicate what happens when the double whammy of recession and lack of flowery language hit simultaneously:

Goodwin D304 Mathewson SGC 60 $45,123
Heritage D304 Mathewson SGC 70 $8,365

Ummmm......hmmmmm.....

I am pretty sure I know who the bidder and underbidders were in the Goodwin auction on the D304s and both (obviously the winner) are not now active in the hobby from what I hear. Timing is everything. Of course, it could also be an evil conspiracy too.

edited to add "on the D304s"

didnt some brand new huge whale enter the hobby in recent years and create some of the abnormal prices on some examples?

thought i heard that somewhere. that might explain some of the crazy price histories -

i could be totally wrong, but i think i remember hearing or reading about this in recent months.

I wish we lived in a world where everyone was honest and there were none of those darn evil conspiracies that are so obvious that they hit you between the eyes like a hammer. A world where money falls from the sky, marshmallows grow on trees and rivers flow with chocolate.

But we don't.

I hear that's what it's like in Rio de Janeiro. I mean, it's gotta be, right?
