yep, I never thought is was a big deal in the past but a lot of people no longer religiously search ebay so it really can make a huge difference.

On the bright side, the chances have improved that the seller will get more for his or her cards, so that's a good thing. It's not a game of hide-and-seek, you know.

Depends on what the seller does with his new found riches. If he "foolishly" spends the money, that's good for the country's economy. If he just sits on it, he's not helping.

I let the cat out of the bag oops, well no way no how I can afford even one of these but the only other "card" that I know of for George McConnell is a T200 NY AL, which is REALLY out of my league. So I just thought maybe....

PS I truly did not know one was not supposed to "out" a bay auction here... didn't know it was/is so competitive

Jim,

Honestly, you shouldn't sweat it. There are just as many people on the board who think it's no big deal to post about a current auction as there are people who have a problem with it. There's no "rule" one way or another. Don't worry about it.

Nah, it's not competitive. Why would a long time board member think that?

[calvindog]

I might have just placed a monster snipe on this set. After all, isn't this set actually orange and contain Moses Yellowhorse and some Jew named Mort?

Based on the rise of this lot throughout the day it is not unreasonable to suggest that his lot might go over 1000.00 dollars before its over. It is already at $650.00

Whilst it is up to the Board member to decide whether or not he/she/we should out an e-Bay auction, we have to disagree about the competitive nature ofbaseball memorabilia collecting.

In building one of the world's premiere baseball type card collections, we have long recognized that this is a game with only two possible outcomes:

Winning or Losing

We work around the clock, 365 days a year, to develop lead sources, uncover opportunities and a bid strategy which enables us to win 66% of the time on key items. Whilst we consider a number of collectors and dealers friends,when we face them on the old cardboard battlefield, they are the enemy. We are prepared to fight them to the end to acquire what we want. We select our targets, analyze the opportunities and plan our attack.

As Vince Lombardi famously noted; Winning is the not most important thing
it is everything.

You should work LONGER hours getting your quotes correct. The correct quote is: "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing." And Lombardi didn't say it first. It was Red Sanders, the former football coach at UCLA. He said it as early as 1950. Lombardi, who may have heard it from Red, didn't use it (or any reasonable facsimile) until 1959 or so.


Didn't you learn how to research at that fancy Ivy League school?


Edited to add: Yes. Yes. I know. You will respond to my arrow with a nuclear (or is it "nucular") attack. You will drive my red neck, chicken fried steak eating, big game hunting, ass back into the Stone Age, etc., etc, etc. Blah, blah, blah.

Wow, sounds like the key to happiness to me.
