What's the Deal With This T206?
This card was pulled by the seller and I'm not sure why. It was starting to go for a lot. Is this a scrap or just an extreme example of bad/off registration?

You answered your question. Looks like it started at $0.99, people started bidding it up... I'd be willing to bet someone emailed the seller w/ a high enough offer that he pulled the card. |

It looks trimmed and really beat up with a lot of creases.

Nope, I was the high bidder when the auction was pulled. The seller stated that "he had received a lot of interest in the cards (he had two similar) and wanted to investigate further and maybe have it them graded".
I don't know who else was bidding, but I brought it up to the $34+ that it was at when it was pulled, solely because of my Dode Paskert back/variation run. I'm pretty bummed as it would have made a nice addition to the Paskert collection. Not sure what the value would be considering the poor condition, but it was more about the player and uniqueness than price for me

Looks like a piece of scrap to me.

And I did email the seller asking if he would consider an offer and was told that he didn't close auctions early (too many headaches)....

I am sure we will soon learn why this card is soooooo rare and desirable...to some.

Whatever price the card is eventually sold for, it'll be half of what it's really worth.

Well Steve...for your collection...I can see the allure...but as a single card...standing alone...it looks like a beaten piece of crap to me!

Yes, but when it goes up for sale on BST it will be described as "severely undergraded."

Ya don't say!
Half is being generous, IMO, Rob, but maybe that's just me.

We'll, for me it's because it would look nice in the bottom left empty slot on this page!!

To hell and back
What *isn't* the deal with this card? It looks like it has gone through the ringer more than a few times!
