Default Anybody surprised by the T206 set auction on ebay?

Posted By: Pennsylvania Ted

I'm away for the weekend and I've been "clicking in" ocassionally (on our laptop) and my real SURPRISE
on this ebay lot is that only 7 bidders were interested in this near set.

I have to agree with Rick McQ.....when you boil it all down and do the math, you are looking at $25 per
card....and that's a real bargain for almost 500 - T206's averaging Vg-Ex.

Furthermore, the comments that this Seller is an "un-known" is ridculous. The seller has an huge Feed-
back Profile (FP). My "rule-of-thumb" is not only the magnitude of the "unique Positive #" in a seller's FP;
but, more importantly, his total #....which tells us a lot about the repeat customers that trust him.

And, on ebay you don't have to pay that dreaded "juice"....let's assume this set would have sold for 40K.
Then it would be a minimum of 46K with the "juice" that most "auction houses" require.

Finally, I'm trying to understand this "distrust" of this collection, as some have posted here. The seller has
all 520 cards in graded form....what more can you ask for. And yet, some of you guys still have problems
trusting the "authenticity" of these cards.

Someone please explain to me this kind of thinking....because I find it mind-boggling ? ?


P.S.....If this set is re-listed, I think I'm going to see if some would like to "pool" some funds together and
go for it.
