Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>The card looks like a repo. I bet the seller is schilling the card. He has 0 feedback and the current buyer has a feedback of 4. Desperate times for desperate folks.

Posted By: <b>Rick McQuillan</b><p>C'mon, it was locked in a safe for over 20 years - it has to be real. I would give me left arm to find out what other treasures are in that safe.<br><br>Rick

Posted By: <b>Randy Trierweiler</b><p>If you read the auction closely, you will find that Honus played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. <br><br>I did not know that. <br><br>

Posted By: <b>Brian McQueen</b><p><br>Over $100k now. You know, I had no idea Honus played for the Steelers. Oh, Hell's Bells, we've had it wrong all these years!

Posted By: <b>Joe Jones</b><p>I thought the card only came with a Piedmont or Sweet Caporal back.

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Well honus was the first two sport athlete. He actually wore a disguise while playing football so the Pirate brass would not know. Bo Jackson regards him as a mentor.

Posted By: <b>Marty Ogelvie</b><p><p>I think I used to have that card.. it came with one of the major sports card annual publications back in '89. I put mine in a safe back then too.. I think i threw my safe away though. ;(</p><p> </p><p>Marty</p>

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>What i like is that he focused the camera perfect on the back of the card yet both front shots are blurry. Also the two one dollar bills on the table are hilarious. I guess times are rough.

Posted By: <b>jay wolt</b><p>I have this card too somewhere and as stated it has $20K value<br>listed on the reverse. So its funny that the bid is at $100,200.00<br>now and still hasn't met the reserve.<br>This knucklehead has no idea its a .25 cent card

Posted By: <b>Shawn Chambers</b><p>I got mine when I was around 10 or 11...'81 or '82. I think it was part of a package deal that I ordered from Scholastic? I still have it and others like Plank, Magee, Goudey Lajoie...all with the same &quot;value&quot; information on the back. <br><br>Fun when you are 11...not so much fun now wading through them on ebay.<br><br>Shawn<br>

Posted By: <b>Fred Y</b><p>I wish ALL my cards had the value printed right on the back--it would make buying &amp; selling so much simpler!

Posted By: <b>Eric B</b><p>Sweet! How high can we get it before it closes?

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>you mean before you hit the reserve and get screwed!

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>The accountant in me wonders if Ebay will include the commission &quot;earned&quot; from this transaction as revenue for their next quarterly earnings disclosure. Times are tough for everybody.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Somebody should invent a reprint with a tiny computer chip in it, so that the card can automatically update its own value over time.<br><br>By now, it would have read &quot;this card is worth $250,000&quot; on the back. It could be hooked up to VCP so that when Bobby updates his site the card will post that new information.

Posted By: <b>J.McMurry</b><p>That is funny.<br><br>I would look for some unknown with zero feedback to come in and bid 2-3 trillion at the last minute, but I doubt if poor Betty will ever see a dime.

Posted By: <b>Eric B</b><p>Crap. It got ended when I was high bidder. I wonder if the seller is desperately trying to remember who the bidder was for an off-Ebay sale.
