And in a few weeks HA will be selling a PSA 8
Wonder if the non-winners be going for it??
Heritage last recorded PSA 8 sale was for 382,400 (July 30,2015)
Note: MileHigh sold a PSA 8 for 309,613.20 (Nov 16,2015)

Now which one would you want?
HERITAGE


or PWCC (not noteing the stain)

A. The odds of this auction ending on a legit bid is less than probable.

B. If somehow all the bids are legit these guys are just burning money. An 8 hammered in Mile High for $313k last month.

C. Bidder 1271 is just toying with the auction.

D. $100 bid increments on something pushing a half million dollars is most one of the most absurd things I've seen.

funny someone can win the card very last second on a 100 dollar bid...


it not funny but if someone is just playing and 'wins' the auction..they can be sued for 500k etc...normally nobody cares on ebay if someone welches on ebay..but that would be bad precedent on a 500k card

Based on the 'stain' alone, they could say it was never disclosed and hidden and the decsription states it among the best and 'far superior'
I do not see any disclosure about payments, except for the finanincing part and 10% in 7 days. I am assuming that the buyer can rely on Ebay's policies here and not pay without any harm nor foul, basically using 'not as described'.

This example is easily among the best copies ever graded, and is likely among the best half-dozen PSA 8s in the world. Far superior to what's typically seen for the issue, boasting exceptional centering, evenly toned borders, and wonderfully preserved card stock throughout. Most educated collectors acknowledge that a card's eye appeal can fluctuate considerably within a single grade, and we are excited to label this example as being in the upper echelon of the NM-MT condition range. An all-around beautiful card which even the pickiest card-investor would consider a superior specimen.

An 8 did not hammer at Goldin for 313
I think you confused Goldin with mile high

it's tough to follow what is going on , on eBay because as I understand it, until tomorrow anyone can place a bid with no credit check. I remember when I tried to bid on action comics number one on eBay they had to approve each bidder in advance of any bid. So as a non regular on eBay looking at an ultra high priced item this is a confusing process to me.

You are right Ken. I edited my previous post.

Bidder 1271 may be a legit spender but clearly he has no ethics. I would hate to be going after this card and seeing his bid history.

Just my opinion, but the color on that Mile High Mantle (the slightly greener blue...) is way better than the PWCC 8. Even with the print line through his cap. And the black box surrounding the stars around the name plate is unbroken on the Mile High one, vs. the "crumbly look" above the stars on the one in the current auction. I know both are legit variations, but just saying. I would scrutinize the minutiae too if I were paying that much for a card.

I guess it's a good thing I collect mostly cards in VG condition. Er,...nevermind I wouldn't be able to afford a '52 #311 even in much worse condition than that.

funny how you go by a 313k auction LAST month..if this card goes for 450k...that will be the new norm...in fact weren't there a few 8s before LAST month that went for 400k

all a dealer needs is one sale at a top price to quote it no matter what....there could be 5 auctions this year...300k, 400k 300k, 330, 300,...and ill I would hear about on why they want $410k for the cards is because a 'a card sold at aucton this year for 400k' the fact is that one card went for 313k in LAST month auction. Cards before than went for FAR MORE and a PRESENT auction goes for 450k..i would not be so quick to say the guy is 'burning' money because of ONE auction...
