Hal LewisNo, not at all.
I am just worried about a "bubble" in our hobby... and I think it will be inflated even faster if more cards are sold in situations where the entire "marketplace" is not involved.
On the flipside, I own a lot of cards, so I probably do better financially if the bubble continues to grow!!
Obviously the two recent "open" auctions for the T210 Jackson cards show that the $180,000 bids on the "private reserve" EBay auction were bogus.
Thus, any "misconceptions" as to the value of that card have come and gone... but I know FOR A FACT that some folks in the interim were offered the chance to buy a T210 Jackson for the "bargain" price of $150,000.
I have no problems at all with the Pete Hill card... except that I would like to know who the owner is so that we can find out later if he bought the card from himself.
