Sold- 1952 Topps Signed Enos Slaughter 1/1
 

In light of recent events I am auctioning off my 1/1 (it's the only one I have so it gets a 1/1 designation) Slaughter auto. Strong signature, card is in good shape, nice centering, border is a little dirty. see scans. I've asked several longtime members to shill for me in what could have turned out to be the seminal Slaughter signed auction of 2021, setting a new auction record for this "fresh to the hobby" iconic card, but they have all refused.

Something about customary dividing of the spoils..

So let's start the bidding at $10 with $1 increments and thanks for bidding. Auction ends Wednesday January 27th at 5pm Pacific, timestamp rules apply. Please add $2.50 to help with 1st class tracked shipping.

The special 1 of 1 designation is really selling this for me :D

I'll Start

$12.

20

I'll say $15.

No going backwards David, that's reverse shilling and not allowed.

You have to wait for the previous bidder to retract, to bid $15. But I'll shield bid it to $25.

I'm new to how shilling works. Did I do it wrong?

Yes, in theory I would owe you money by Wednesday night. I have a PWCC shilling "how to" pamphlet around here somewhere that I can send to you...

Oh, I think I get it. $26!

It's a fine art, or so I am told. You may want to reach out to the seller who is currently selling multiple signed 52 cards at Probstein in order to not get Slaughtered. :rolleyes:

I'll go to $31.88!

$33

I'll go $35.;)

I'll go 37.50

$38.88!

42

I'll do $43. Thanks

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. Thank you all for bidding.

Dang, I didn't get a chance to retract my bid!!! Congrats to the winner.

John, In the name of posterity, I believe you owe it to this forum and society at large to retract your bid. I would be disappointed with anything less.
