I know the ebay will most likely not sell, but is the cosigner asleep at the wheel?

No, not asleep at the wheel...but probably just greedy. Which makes me wonder...is this ebay seller somebody at the auction house? Because if it sold on ebay while it's on consignment and in possession by the auction house...how is it going to be shipped out?

They are sister companies; if one sells the item, the other will pull it.

That is really odd, nice find. I am tempted to call the auction house and ask them about this.

The ebay seller is in Cave Creek, Arizona which appears to be about 20 miles north of Scottsdale. Iconic lists a Scottsdale address on the bottom of their site.

Serious ethical possible legal issues here. "I am offering this item in an open/public auction, however, if I sell it for the price I want on another platform you are stuff out of luck." I may as well list everything I am bringing to The National on ebay starting on the Monday before with a BIN price. If you come to my table and want to purchase it you will need to wait until I check to see if someone purchased it on ebay before I can sell it to you or vice versa.

I actually wouldn't have a problem with the scenario you proposed. I think this is more muddy. So I go out and put a bid on the Mantle on the Iconic site but you hit the BIN on ebay; now what? I'm sure the auction rules state that my bid is binding.

I have never seen a Mantle quite like that. When did he change his signature?

That was his 'rookie' style. Throughout the 50's he got closer to his more familiar 90's show circuit style.
