Am I missing something here???? Compare the final bids on these two items. Same common card from the same set, same seller, sold the same night:

Bob,
One is graded higher, perhaps that is the difference?

Along the same lines, I have never seen so many T207's listed on Ebay at once. I believe there were almost 150 this morning. I think the T207's are the next hot pre-war set.

I am collecting Boston cards and when I come up against him, he is willing to pay twice the value of the card. Just need to wait for him to get the card and go after the next one.

Yes, that's the thing about Ebay, the first listed item of a collectible which is somewhat scarce can get a crazy high price. Benefited from selling this way, which can be somewhat predictable if you look at history and see a particular item as not being sold on ebay for awhile. However, where I had a duplicate where an item goes way over book, I have never been able to sell to the underbidder, darn it.
