1865 Brooklyn Atlantics CDV for sale

I'm glad they found something on Net54 that they could use:

"While it is similar to the card in the Library of Congress, the card found in Maine is printed from a different negative. The two images originally could have been viewed together through a stereoscopic viewer, which created the illusion of three-dimensional depth from two-dimensional images."

This is the problem with auction hype. Now some guy spent 80k thinking it's going to triple and pay for his 4 year old's medical expenses.

Even if it doesn't triple the 80K would be gone if it weren't tied up in the card. I don't see it selling for less. Still a good investment.

What was/is this guy thinking? Some combination of the following, I'm guessing.

1. The winning bidder feels that somehow all the knowledgeable collectors (except one, the underbidder) missed hearing about this item, but he was lucky enough to attend the secret auction and get a steal
2. The winning bidder knows nothing about baseball collectibles, but figured that as long as someone else was bidding, it was safe for him to place another bid
3. The winning bidder thinks there's someone on ebay who knows even less than he does
4. The knowledgeable collectors weren't at the secret auction because they will all be waiting on ebay, since that's where they feel most comfortable spending their money

So, knowledgeable collectors - Don got the scoop for you. Go fish in the bay tomorrow.

I'm taking #3, Scott. He's even selling his racing mice on Ebay to pay the bill.

Thanks for that breaking news, Don. You've been all over this from the beginning. Did you get any interviews with the media today?

When does he expect to sell it to triple his money ?
