Just cam accross this auction on EBAY:

And could not believe the price it is at, am I missing something. The bidders are all legitimate and there is no shilling that I can see. We are in big trouble if cards like this start demanding this type of $$$$'s.

A PSA 6 just sold a few weeks ago for $370.00

This particular bidder, and a handful of others, are going wild with T206
cards (Grades 5, 6, & 7) on ebay, lately. I do not quite understand this;
what do they know that the rest of us don't ? This is not limited to T206's,
only; and, is probably going on with other vintage cards, too. I have just
notced it with T206's since I have been outbid by some of these bidders.

I think these guys know their wallets aren't running out of money any time soon.
When you get these high grade cards and a few people who want them giddy-up! This one sold last week for almost a grand -

I sold my Gavvy Cravath SGC 80 last week for $430, shocked the heck out of me.

Is the ebay ID of a gentleman I once met at a card show. He explained that if he really wants a card on ebay, he will just bid thousands of dollars on it, even if it is not worth that much. If you ever find yourself bidding against rosie7495, you essentially have no chance if you are hoping that market forces will help contain him.

He won a few of my cards last week and after finding out some information from him he's not too worried about how the bills are going to get paid.

When you make millions a year what is a $1000 on a card? 2 or 3 weeks interest?

I have to wash my Rolls.

Huggins PSA 6 at $1000 is just the tip of the iceberg. More than a dozen T206 COMMONS sold for $400+ in the last two weeks--three of them for more than $540. This is not to mention that all four T206 PSA 7 commons sold on eBay in the last couple of weeks went for $1300+, or that the PSA 9 Donovan (Throwing) at auction right now stands at an unthinkable $8900 with more than two days left. Present demand for PSA 6s and up seems insatiable. Scot

Here's my contribution to the latest madness:

Very happy with the selling price and the buyer paid promptly.
