77 BK Piniella needed, Got 1 thanks

[Cliff Bowman]

I don't know how the guy wound up with 750 1977 Burger King Lou Piniella cards, I would guess that he bought them in one of those storage lot auctions. I do know that he initially had no idea what they were, he thought they were just regular 1977 Topps commons and put them on an eBay But-It-Now auction for 9.2 cents a card with free shipping. I of course bought them and paid immediately. Unfortunately, for me anyway, a couple of hours afterward he canceled the sale and refunded my money. His excuse was that he researched them and was afraid they might be counterfeit, saying that it is against eBay rules to sell counterfeit items. I didn't buy that for a second, I think someone contacted him and told him what they are or more likely offered him much more than what I paid. Easy come, easy go.
