Corey R. ShanusGreg,
Thanks for the response. I've never said there had to be foul play. I'm just saying the circumstances surrounding the sale of the T5 Jackson look pretty strange and legitimately raise questions. I hear what you've said and let's just say at this point I don't know what to believe. I will add, though, having reread the thread put up the day the MHCC auction closed and on which you posted, one of the posters hours before the auction closed emphatically stated that the card was not unique. I guess you either missed that or questioned the accuracy of what the poster said.
Putting the situation in the light most favorable to MHCC, let me add the following. A siginficant amount of the value of the card was based on the underbidder's belief the card was unique. Another one now having publically turned up, if the one MHCC sold was to be reauctioned, it would almost certainly sell for considerably less. So by MHCC trumping an attribute (uniqueness) of an item that hours after the auction's close was confirmed to be bogus, a good faith winning bidder was forced to pay considerably more than he/said would otherwise have had to.
