Guesses on the T208's tonight?

[rman444]

Good points Barry and Dave. There are very few sets where commons sell in the $3-4k range. Even if we assume that last night's results were in line with market reality rather than low, the T208 set would still be the #1 T-set with respect to valuation by a pretty decent margin.

I can think of one T set where a common would probably go for more....

T215 Pirate ?

Well, all their prices were not weak:

Still trying to understand this one.

That E98 Brown makes no sense. My guess is two bidders chased it all night. That's usually the pattern in these cases.

That's a $900 card maybe. My only conclusion is that Bill Goodwin must have won it and is planning on auctioning it off for 75K.

That is an easy one. It was bid up by two dealers who know how to remove stains and iron out wrinkles, thus turning a vg/ex card into a nm or better card.

P.S. If you think Legendary is shill bidding now, with an ongoing FBI investigation into that practice, you must be smoking something.

[calvindog]

Who knows what Legendary is doing or not doing -- I didn't suggest that there was any shill bidding on this lot. Regardless, from experience I can tell you that the type of person who breaks the law is the same type of person who will continue to break the law even with law enforcement watching. Of course, I actually know this from 20 years of practice as opposed to just talking out of my ass.

Oops - I forgot the T215 Pirate and the T231 Fans. Sorry to all of the owners of cards from these two sets that I may have offended - that would be a grand total of maybe 2 people?

I think there are those in the hobby, the conspiracy theorists, that feel the T231(s) are not real cards. Personally I think Burdick pulled one over on us. They are figments of our imaginations.

Steve- T221, T231.....it's all the same

I'm wondering if the timing was also a factor. We're entering a time of year that's pretty hectic with a slew of major holidays/events all coinciding over a 5 week period (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years) that can be quite expensive for alot of folks when you take into account traveling, plane tickets, Christmas gifts (my sisters pop out kids like Pez dispensers, I'm losing track), Black Friday spending binges, hospitalization after New Years Eve, etc.

[tedzan]

Here's the grand total (with juice)

..52.5 K.........PLANK
..40 K...........COLLINS
..10 K...........BENDER
....7 K...........BAKER (is actually Cy Seymour)
--------
109.5 K
..48.8 K.........14 A's cards (Lord is actually Magee....Morgan is actually Bowcock)
--------
158.3 K


I declare Steve Murray the WINNER.......Leon owes you a "meelion" ! ?
