Saw it on eBay and bought it from the website. T200 New York Nationals lower grade but intact and no creasing. Back stain. $300 - seemed reasonable. I’ll post pic in a bit.

The problem is that Ebay has done such a piss poor job of supporting sellers over the years that many have left entirely. To that effect, in order to entice people to sell they have essentially done away with listing fees, which were the last barrier to entry. Now a seller can list whatever they want for whatever price they want and pay $0 to do so, so it’s really a no lose for them. I know plenty of guys that have a significant portion of their collections listed on ebay listed at FU prices. They have no real desire to sell, but if someone wants to pony up, fine by them.
