T206 Plank Auction

[Thromdog]

I had a small bet with a coworker that this one would match or surpass it's previous sale of $107K.....

Didn't come close.

Possibly because nobody knew about it? I've been on this board for a couple years and have never even heard of that auction site.

It's too bad - looking at the final prices on some of those cards, there were some great deals to be had!

The one company I have called about advertising on our site is Bussineau because what they sell is precisely what we talk about all day, every day. It would be an absolute no brainer for them to make exponentially more than their investment. They weren't interested .

Yes, as a buyer. What about as a seller?

Barring a larger auction house, it might have gotten better word of mouth on the BST. And straight transaction -- no juice.

Leon I skimmed through the auction - had I known this was going on I would have raised the bids by at least $1000 - their loss..

Also - I was surprised the topic starter for the t206 plank wasn't someone else

Just to confirm, did you win or lose the bet? Can't tell with 100% certainty from the statement above exactly which side you took.

Thanks,
Chris

Not sure how much advertising is on here but with the forum ranking high on most Google "hobby related" searches, having a massive banner sounds like a smart ROI.

When I spoke to whomever it was at their office I told them I could all but guarantee they would reap many, many times their investment. Our most expensive ad is $450 a month....and they go down to $150, with a one month minimum. Nah, they probably wouldn't have made that much back.

Wow surprised they don't want to advertise here and many haven't heard or just forgot about them..... I remember bidding from them pre internet via SCD... I think I may have even won an item or two from them...so they have been around a long time.

I don't know why they changed their name from Legacy. I think their auctions were easier to find back then. I keep up with their auctions to see if there is anything I want, but it does require a significant amount of effort as they don't seem to advertise at all.

Is this the outfit that used to be called "Superior Sportscards"? Or were they a different company?

Is anyone interested in buying this card?

I'd be interested in buying the Cobb bat off SGC 60 from that auction, if the buyer is selling. I can't say that I would've won it, but had I known about this auction I would've bumped it up a few hundo.

Scott, he got his ticket the old fashioned way....eating a shitload of cheap chocolate bars....it 's all in the numbers man....eventually you'll hit gold. They still cover Probability & Statistics in college right?
