Bottom of the NinthCorey,
This will be my last post on this thread.
You are correct you never said there was foul play but you have inferred it countless times in your obsession on this matter. I saw the post by Zach and one person posting on a message board claiming he knows MHCC is not the only example is not going to do it for me especially in light of the discussions I had with Brian Drent. I was wrong and Zach was right. I do not know Zach at all and have never even said a single word to him. Was not going to base something he posted determine whether or not I bid. Was there a part of my last post in which I wrote that I did not really have hobby connections that you did not understand? If you want to call me sometime I would be more than happy to bore you with those details.
A significant amount of my decision to bid as high as I did was based on not having ever having had the opportunity to add this item to my collection and having an abundance of unspoken for available funds in which to do it. Your following statement is inaccurate, "only reason he valued the card as high as he did was because of his belief the card was unique." The reason I did not chase the one in Mastro with the same intensity and desire was due to financial constraints, the condition of the photo and it was now the second of how many more. You have all of these hobby connections, it seems. Can you tell us who else had bid on the MHCC example or at least why they did not make an effort to go for the Mastro copy? I placed very few bids on the MHCC example so this was not about two people wanting that item. There were many bids after the 50K level.
Corey, I understand your confusion. Well I don't really but I understand that you are confused or skeptical or suspicious or all three. I think your time would really be better served if you were trying to find who really killed JFK.
