Absolutely +1!

Best wishes to all,

Larry

I wouldn't have guessed that much for the 59. But if there's only 1 in the world it's pretty hard to set a price. Personally I'd rather have his rookie in an 8 and save the 23k difference for something else

+1 on this.

Yeah, for sure the rookie is the way to go! The managers dream was a bit surprising to me as well. I was just making a assumption here. Maybe the 59 Mays was getting bids from set collector. If there is only one at gem mint ten then that's a one up on the next guy.

The spread from the pack is the largest I have ever seen on EBAY. A 60k jump with the final two snipes. WOW that is insane. I bet the other bidders watching at the end were like WTF just happened. Haha.

Not like this is new news, but these auctions really get me mad with all of the shill bidding. I am watching 3 identical items on ebay. They are all PSA. I mean they are identical. They all close within 3 days of each other. Two of them are currently at around $10 and the one being sold by probstein is already at $30. The current high bidder has 400 bids this month and over 50% are with Probstein. Really, ebay!? Give me a break!!!

Have won things from Probstein recently and been happy. Also lost some but wasn't very unhappy. No doubt there is shilling going on on ebay but I am not sure the largest sellers can control it very well. Friends of friends and all.....

Probstein sells tons of cards. Of course they can't "police" it all. That is their alibi.

All the ingredients are there for shilling to happen.

Probstein makes more $.
eBay makes more $.
The seller makes more $.
Buyer loses $.

Not that all are shilled, but this is the perfect business model for this stuff to happen.

Then why don't you focus on the $10 cards and ignore the $30 cards? If more people did that, some of the smaller sellers might be more willing to auction off cards instead of seeing their items sell for peanuts. I know I fit into that category......just gets old seeing their SGC 3's sell for as much as my PSA 5's.

Put a great looking card up and do everything right and it won't go for peanuts. Too many people looking for great cards to let them go for nothing, imo....

I can only go by experience.

I do ignore Probstein items. Actually, I have never even bid on a Probstein auction. I refuse to do business with him. But that is just me. I just was doing a search and I came across this issue, which is why I posted.
