T206 Beckley sale question
 

Posted By: <b>ChuckkieB</b><p>Check out the T206 JAKE BECKLEY PSA 5 Ebay auction below. I just picked up this card for $170. What gives???? I've noticed recently that there have been some verrrrrry wacky high bids for graded T206 cards on Ebay. Are these mis-informed consumers, over zealous collectors, or simply shill bidders ruining auctions. The bidding pattern of the underbidder in this auction seems a bit "odd". <br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31718&item=5126973 547&rd" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31718&item=5126973 547&rd</a><br /><br />[edited to give descriptive title]

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>is that one guy put down something like $600 to start, and then another guy just kept bidding up to find the level at which the initial bid was made.<br /><br />That is a crazy price for that card, but we've seen PSA 5 and higher HOF portraits selling above that on ebay this year -- it's all about the PSA registry, IMHO.

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>I think T206 Collector is right. It is important when placing a high bid to be sure that if you win a lot that you actually want to pay as much as your high bid should another bid nearly that high as well.<br /><br /> Greg Busineau, the founder and owner of Legacy is a straightforward, honest, and reputable dealer in my experience. I have bought several cards from him in the past, primarily when he ran Superior Sports.<br />Jim
