Beat-up OJ Simpson card for charity

[jim]

This is a little charity auction for the supply of food and medicine to poor children in the US and the world. All the money from this auction goes to the charity. As well as my matching funds I will throw in also. The money will go to www.childrensfeedingnetwork.org. 96.4% of the money taken in goes to children. The other 3.6% is their admin costs; not mine.
Anyway, the card is a 1977 Topps Venezuelan OJ Simpson #453. It is not a pretty card but the charity is worth it. Have the ok from the moderator to do this.
Will start the bidding at $5. Any bid increase is allowed and appreciated, no matter how small. Bidding will go until Friday 24 Dec 2010 at 10PM N54 clock time. I don't think we will have to worry about snipes. I will double match the bid from my own pocket so the charity gets more cash. If the bid ends at $15, I will send the charity $15 from the high bidder and $30 from myself for a total gift of $45. For a little goal, lets make the $50 a BIN and end the auction there. Again, if we get a BIN at $50, I will put in $100 of my own dollars for a total gift of $150 to the charity. The children will be grateful for your help. Will be happy to answer any questions also.

I'll BIN it for $50.

Whoever wants the card and is first to post, I'm guessing Jim will mail it to you instead of me.

Jim, please PM or e-mail me regarding how you'd like payment.

Thanks.
