For that kind of cash you would think it would be centered. So many people simply buying the number on the flip. Value certainly won’t hold on that one.

Looking at the bid history it appears that two bidders really wanted it.

I'm not a crazy person about centering, but I don't like that one at all. Disconcertingly off center.

First one sold in 6 months. Maybe just a case of 2 guys who were tired of waiting and wanted the card either for a set or a Mays run. Either way it's nice to see and not necessarily a sign of something nefarious. I agree I'd expect to see better centering when an ATH is hit, but not everyone is as concerned with perfect centering as I am.

You wouldn't think so, but it seems more and more people are buying the flip, not the card. Remember too, that just one increment below the $2950, there was another bidder willing to pay $2900.

Maybe there was and maybe there wasn't. It's hard to tell from bid histories.

Yup. The presumption is always that it's legit, but on a price this crazy, you do wonder.

No bid retractions, and the same guy is bidding on multiple items from multiple sellers. Yup, probably a shill.

About 400 bucks, or 15% over previous ATH set last year. Higher than expected, but not quite in a category I'd call crazy.

I was just saying that this is LIKELY not an investment level card. I am not a dead centering guy either, but when I go for higher grades like this, I prefer pretty darn close. This is another case of 2 people wanting something badly. Many people throw out VCP and history and all of that because as we have said many times here, STUFF TRUMPS EVERYTHING ELSE. If you gotta have it, sometimes you make interesting decisions.
