1967 Topps Venezuelan Lajoie "Retirado"
 

Posted By: <b>Rob Dewolf</b><p>I don't buy or sell many post-1960 cards and have almost no familiarity with the 1967 Topps Venezuelan issue. I did place what I thought, based on looking at prices on VCP for other cards from this issue, was a pretty aggressive snipe ($388.88) on a Lajoie that ended today on eBay. Here's the link:<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2ux3fl" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2ux3fl</a><br /><br />Judging by the fact that the winning bidder apparently had three snipes set at the end, my guess is I simply ran into someone who just had to have this card.<br /><br />Is there something I'm missing with this issue and with the Lajoie card in particular? I'd welcome thoughts/opinions on the price this one realized.<br /><br />Thanks, Rob.

Posted By: <b>Jeff S.</b><p>Hi Rob - I don't know much about the set, but often times one snipe will show up several times in the bidding history. I believe it may have to do with the sniping company's software - perhaps sending the same snipe three times will ensure it gets placed.
