Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>I say he sold it to the highest bidder offline just like he did a lot of tough non-sports cards. That bidder is going to crack it open, float it in some distilled water and pull that paper off the back, dry it and then get it re-encapsulated and sell it for 2X what he paid RIck for it. Hopefully anyway.....

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>I thought of that too but Rick's too smart to leave that much money on the table if he thought there was any chance the paper would soak off. I suspect that it is permanently attached and any attempt to remove it would take the back off it as well.

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>he's THAT smart.......he left a lot of money on the table on a non-sports lot he sold before the auction ended......not JAX type of money here if it could be soaked but a lot. It would be a huge gamble but the payoff would be in the thousands.....especially if it'd get a 'real' grade and not auth.

Posted By: <b>Charlie Barokas</b><p>Matt,<br /><br /><br />FYI, the card was sold to someone other than me for $14,000. I called and asked them why they ended the auction because I was the high-bidder and they said they had sold it off ebay for $14,000.<br /><br />CB

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>Charlie, <br /><br />I didn't see either Dan or Matt reference you (unless some posts were deleted). Did I miss something. The way I read it, any negativity was directed at Broadway Rick, not you.

Posted By: <b>quan</b><p>charlie,<br /><br />good to know it sold for 14k. the buyer is def not shelling out 14k to leave the card in an altered holder...better keep scans just in case. i had a snipe on it but i certainly wasn't willing to go 14k.

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I think I am the only Dan here Charlie but I have no idea what you are talking about. I was referencing my good friend Rick who had the card for sale when I posted. So unless you are talking about someone else, I guess we will just have to have a problem because I don't see anything to retract and I don't even see how you are connected to this thread. Dan.

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>I was wondering the same thing when I clicked on this...not sure what Dan did or anybody else did for that matter accusing Charlie of anything. Maybe I'm missing something?

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I think I see what Charlie meant! You thought I was talking about you Charlie! too funny. You were winning it at the time I guess but the auction was ended early with reserve not met so that to me means the seller didn't sell it. Once again I was speaking about Rick but obviously your conscience must have gotten the best of you to attack me like that. I do accept apologies though.<br />Sorry Charlie (isn't that a Tuna commercial?) I wasn't speaking about you as I was unaware that you would do anything like that but Rick has actually been busted and had articles written about his antics. Dan.

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Florida Rick sold the card altered and only authenticated for $14,000 ????<br />Wow, seems like a huge price and way out of my thinking for what it should be worth. I could really care less what he got for the card but the thing that impacts me is that I need this card to complete my E90-1 set and have been on the lookout for a decent PSA 1 or 2 and now the price for it slipped further in to the stratosphere based on this sale <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Bottom of the Ninth</b><p>Bob,<br /><br />This price is not going to raise the bar. Someone, and we can rule out Charlie, paid up as they feel they can get the card to grade. Looked like a nice card and someone may have gotten themselves a deal. I think nice 1's are going for about 7K, which is what I was selling my 3's for a couple of years ago.<br /><br />Greg
