Have you ever...
...wanted to ask a question here about a current item up for sale but did not do so in fear someone else might detect that auction and bid up the price and/or worse yet win it? This is a situation I currently face (it's actually a post-war auction) and feel conflicted about what I should do as I want to learn more about his card but also do not want to spur interest in the item I would like to win...

Good advice
Thanks Leon, but who's to say that person wouldn't scout out the card---and could you blame them if they discovered the 52 Mantle Topps RC that you found in a completely wrong category?

. You can either ask someone personally, post on the board or try to figure it out yourself. The only other option is just to forget about the card. There are your options...so good luck my friend. As for Joe P.....I wish we could have a little less antagonism on the board. But with all of the great lawyers, and a few others, I doubt that will ever happen. It seems like almost every question nowadays ends up with a smart ass answer.....and that isn't so good. Hey, a little comedy is cool...but I would like to see more substance sometimes. I can wish can't I? Jim VB- this statement wasn't directed at you, since you posted above I don't want you to think that. Most times you are civil, harmless and ruining humanity.....

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I take offense at that and will be leaving the board, as soon as I sell all my cards (3% extra..., etc., etc., etc.)

Is it Bizarre, or is it "Bizarro"?

Minty,
Why don't you just send a message to Fred, either here or ont he bay. You know that he will know about it. Plus, he will not be bidding against you because whatever card it is, he already has a better one in his back room!

Awesome pic Scott S.
Ha Ha, that's a classic shot. I have known Bizarro Kramer, by the way, since we were kids. ( my only Seinfeld connection)
As far as asking for help on the board. I don't hesitate to ask questions. I had severtal questions about T210 cards a while back and lost every single auction I was bidding on to NET54 members that week. I did wonder later about the fact that I may have garnered undue interest in those lots by asking on the board, but hey I needed to know som einfo and others opinions on the set. I can't compete with most of the buyers/dealers on this board anyway financially. I will just wait a few months and hope those T210's ( or most of them ) will show up on ebay agin being sold by whomever bought them last month. The only problem with that being that a card I could have won for $49 will suddenly be BIN for $149...so the chances of me actually buying it are next to NIL ! It's easy to manipulate certain dealers and collectors on this board through your queries too. I posetd that I was starting to collect a certain card and team not too long ago, and received some PM's offering sales.....also some people listed the exact cards I was referring to for sale in the BST and on Ebay the very next day. Could have been just a coincidence, but I doubt it. Last edited by T206DK; 04-14-2010 at 09:00 AM.
