ONL Baseball on Ebay

That ball is not a Heydler baseball, it is definitely a 1917/1918 John K. Tener ball. The price they are driving it up to is not too far off from what it is worth, with the side facsimile stamp it would go for probably 1K.

Regardless of which ball it is, the point still remains that there were 4 days left in the auction when the nutty bidding was pointed out. These are either two shills, two idiots, or one of each.. I could understand if there were maybe 6 or 7 people all throwing in their first bids. I could even understand it if the first bidder put in his top amount and the 2nd guy kept chipping away until he figured out that bidders max. But no two people in their right minds, would legitimately duke it out like that by trading high bids numerous times with 4 days remaining.

That seems to be the trend lately, I bid on a few balls that were being bid on like crazy the first day of a 7 day auction, couldn't understand it. I looked at the bidders and noted the feedback number, the same guy had bid on all of the baseballs I was going for, from different sellers. So I threw out the Shill bidder assumption and just figured the guy was an idiot who really wanted the ball. He never won though, just drove up the price.

Future 5 original hall of famers signed ball.

goes to the Winner: K**P(66).

He could have bid $150 at the very end instead of having a war and he probably still would have won.

Instead he wins it for 813.89.

I hope he's rich.

There's no way that ball is at $150 at the end of the auction, yes $800 was high but you're obviously not understanding the rarity of the ball, Its a 1917 Tener, not a Heydler ball, they only made that style 1 year. You can tell by the bottom logo. If I didn't have one already I'd bid $600-$700 on it at the end. You don't see those very often.

Very true. I just meant the 2 kept bidding against each other, where if the one didnt bid until the end then 1 bid would have done it, but yes, others would have upped it in the mean time. Too bad the Tener stamp doesn't show.
