Default Look what card collecting has become...

Posted By: Jon Canfield

Ok, Maybe it's just my mentality, but when I see something like this - it makes me think that people are just bidding it up with no intention of paying what-so-ever. You see this happen when a famous person passess away and eBay becomes flooded with signatures and such. I remember going on eBay right after President Reagan passed away a couple weeks back and saw a signed 8*10 for $14,000. Come on now - is someone really paying that? My second thought is since this auction is private, maybe the seller, himself, is bidding it up to promotoe the card. He can eBay, say the high bidder was a non-payer; get all his eBay fees credited, and still get the press on having his card reach $60,000+. Who knows? Just my thoughts...
