Mike,
As I said to you in my PM I think the numbers of 20-25k are very aggressive and a bit unrealistic and I would caution you to be prepared for a number very much lower than that. As I said my educated guess 5-8.5k. But I guess anything can happen.
Also I won’t be bidding and have no interest in the card short of trying to put you and Jim B together for his Wiliis run. So I’m one guy out of the picture in terms of driving the price up….
Mike also I think it’s time to just pick an auction house or what you want to do privately. I understand you’re excited about the sale and that’s really cool for you.
However to me there’s fine line of using the BST for sales or using the BST/Board for publicity. A hundred threads on how many strikes it has, the folks you have talked too, your market estimates etc. isn’t going to make your card go for more. Not trying to sound mean but if everyone started multiple threads promoting their own items that may go to auction etc. it sort of defeats the purpose of the BST IMO. Perhaps Leon disagrees?
Also as I said I wish you the best with the sale.
Cheers,
John
