An excerpt from a thread called "Where are these?" about some 1910 W-unc I replied to on 02/13/2011.... THE SELLER I kept anonymous, well... now you know the rest of the story
"I met the 'individual' that won the Carrigan for $411 or whatever at a show recently... he did indeed put in on EBAY for auction and it sold to someone with over 16000 feedback score, YET, as of this past weekend, he still possesses that very card. Sticker on it is over $800. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm. Out of only 4 bidders, I was one of the 'losing' bidders, and I don't think anyone was gonna win unless it hit a certain unlisted 'reserve', lets say. Funny, small world"
In other words.... he won the Carrigan, tried to sell it, appears to have had someone win it for him, so he would not take a loss, then showed up still owning the card at a show wanting an exorbitant, insane price.... again, small world, as I don't go to card shows, what a rare encounter
