Doubt it sells. Bidder backs out.
Maybe they notice its not 50/50 center and the tilt, then see the smudge on the back.
Wait and see if it shows up somewhere else or a AH.

I seen the smudge/blemish on the back, but I figured the 29 bidders so far did as well?

Curious on what you say and if it does sell? Just trying to educate myself with all this bidding/trading/grading stuff.

Thanks for your input.

Look a the bidding history and the # of retractions.
Then again, a legit buyer, whom may be a registry guy and does pay, but probably got shilled up to his max.
This is where people rather use a snipe service. To each his own.
This has been discussed numerous times and Ebay does nothing.
This is why folks want harsher restrictions on retractions

18 bid retractions? That's insane. Is there a nefarious reason for that?

In the context of an ebay auction, I do not understand why people bid before five seconds to go. Is there any reason to, ever, on an auction you seriously want to win?

There are bidders (in general) with many many more than that.
