Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Based on the winning bidder they were unwinnable at any price!

Posted By: <b>fkw&quot;</b><p>I think Olbermann got a deal...... especially the ovals (D380-1) at $1K ea.<br /><br /><br />Lots of nice stuff for a Thur..... my fav was the E221 SF Seals card. Obviously they should adjust the book value on these. My bid was about 40% of the winner and I thought I had a chance. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p>Wow, I thought I had the first lot, but Keith went all in, guess I'll stick with T206's and T209's......<br /><br /><br /> Be well Brian

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>I agree with Frank. I thought they were relatively inexpensive for how uncommon they are.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>They were only inexpensive because the underbidders didn't go high enough. I'm willing to bet the three snipe bids were consistent with their rarity.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>From the last several I have seen sold I thought the prices were about right...maybe a tad low. I bought one of mine that is really nice from the man with "America's Toughest Wantlist" and it was about $1400...and was quite a bit nicer than any of those. I bought it about a year ago......Neat cards ....My snipes were set quite a bit lower as I had already gone over my daily card allowance (actually my yearly card allowance) a little while earlier........regards

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>But isn't anyone impressed that he got each of them with a snipe during the last 5 seconds. Now that's some good sniping software.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>I thought all snipes were with 5 seconds.... you get to pick the seconds. I pick 5 <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />I cant remember the last time I actually bid on an item the normal way.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>"I cant remember the last time I actually bid on an item the normal way."<br /><br /><br />Funny... you just reminded me of when I sniped a stuffed animal pluto doll.<br /><br />completely unnecessary, but I am used to sniping stuff.<br /><br />When I won it, I thought to myself - underbidders for this item had no chance.<br /><br />Outside of the collectibles market, when we snipe something on eBay its almost unfair.<br />

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br /> Hi Pete,<br /> I agree, the Osborn pose is awesome. It reminds me of a sharp photo series T209. Too bad Keith showed up, or my snipe would have won.<br /><br /> Be well Brian<br /><br />PS I really like the type 2's.......

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Deep pockets don't always go deep.....I have outbid/sniped lot's of folks with far deeper pockets than my blue jean ones....and if at least one of these underbidders really wanted these he would have won them. I think, as scarce as these are, the condition held them back from skyrocketing....just my opinion though....

Posted By: <b>dstudeba</b><p>I sniped my son's holloween costume. It made me feel guilty.

Posted By: <b>Sean</b><p>I was setting my snipe on the last lot when my snipe service (Hanksta-3000X) was disrupted by my cat knocking over my beer on the kitchen table. <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14><br />I had my Christmas bonus checking burning up and really wanted to spend it. My snipe would have been over Keith’s winning bid by $125, but I'm sure he was much higher.<br /><br />Memories,<br />Sean BH<br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Sean- my cat likes to drink beer..true story, you can't make these things up. But I think he's got to get on the wagon soon (he only gets a tiny bit, that's his limit).

Posted By: <b>JK</b><p>Slightly off topic, but has anyone ever noticed that every card that this seller sells has a small piece of tape on the back - whether its a t206 or some obscure/rare card like those above.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>That suggests they all came from a single source, probably a scrapbook since many have back damage. He obviously found one fabulous book.

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br /> Hi Guys,<br /> I just received a second chance offer on the first 2 cards, and man does it look Real.... , but I checked my EBAY messages and it's bogus. Watch out guys, they are getting good. Be well Brian
