peter ullmansteve...i believe the auction you're referring to is mine. I received an email from ebay/buyer id saying he "accidentally" bid a 5 digit sum and therefore retracted his bid. as naieve as i was when reading that email...i thought nothing of it. now i realize the motive. i set a reserve on my card to protect my investment and have chosen to not reveal it. i suppose this is one of the pitfalls of ebay/the reserve amount.
this topic has been discussed in the past when referring to rookie joe jackson cards and others and i don't know the solution. it's unfortunate.
how do i feel about 2 people knowing my reserve? i don't know! i don't think my reserve is out of line with this card...so I guess I don't really care. if the demand dictates the reserve $ being met...the card will sell...which is the point of the exercise. Otherwise i'll be more than happy to keep this card for now.
And...yes...I did lower the reserve twice...after putting more thought into my initial reserve. I wonder what the 2007 scd has these cards at?
