How can I get these prices?
 
I generally deal in low grade T206s, so I view A LOT OF THEM on ebay. Sometimes the prices just boggle my mind... how did this Josh Clark go for probably three times actual value?

unless....
 
unless the winning bidder thought both cards were included in the auction?

Who knows how these things happen. Maybe a relative or a collector of that team was following the auction. Bidders don't always look at trends when they are bidding.

Sometimes things just go in cycles. I remember years ago I could put just about any tobacco card of actress Lily Langtry up on Ebay and be guaranteed at least a 100 bucks every time.

Now I look, and they rarely meet the $10-15 minimums they open with.

:confused:

I think
 
...you had multiple bidders thinking they were getting both cards.

Seems pretty clear to me from the description. :confused:


Then again I've gotten more people in the last year contacting me for refunds or complaining because "It wasn't what I expected it to be", when all they had to do was read the description to see exactly what it was.

I think more and more people are bidding from hand-held devices and rarely get further then the picture and title before placing a bid.
