barrysloateBruce and Dan both admitted that not only did they not know the true value of the card, they weren't even sure what it was. And given the time frame, there was no source material available to look it up.
Let's say the card would have sold at the time for $2500 in an auction, and Bruce offered his $1400 for it. I don't think it's entirely unfair. I've made offers for less than market value, it's just business.
I understand Dan would have paid more, but that doesn't make Bruce's offer unethical.
