gejoe2012,

Curiously wondering...Let me know if I am addressing the big pink elephant in the room...."You are the owner of the scorecard trying to drum up interest in the item"

if that isn't the case, then why are you so anxious to find out what others feel the item will sell for or what they would pay for it...

It is okay to own the item and try to drum up interest in it. Any of us would do the same. They are merely pointing out the charade that you are playing to do so if you are in fact the owner.

When you consign a lot to an auction house, it is the auction's responsibility to drum up interest, and not the consignor's. That's how the auction house earns its commission, by doing that work. I'm not saying whether or not the OP owns this scorecard, but if he did coming on here as he did would be inappropriate. Hopefully he was sincere when he asked the question of its value.

Well your close. I'll be honest I don't own the scorecard but I know who does. He was worried it wasn't going to go for what he expected and I told him if it didn't go for X dollar amount I would be bidding on it myself. So while I would love for it to stay low so I could get it myself, you were correct that I wasn't 100% trying to get a steal. If I didn't know the guy who consigned it (who also has a few others at the auction that I won't mention) I was sincere in wondering what it would go for. I did expect that most of you had seen it though, wasn't trying to drum up the biding.

I know we welcome newbies here but sometimes when I see someone making their first post it does seem to be a suspicious one and I suspect a hidden motive.

This statement alone will make some bidders cringe as it appears like a hidden reserve. I am not saying that is what you are doing, but in the auction world you have to deal with perception and it is not always the same as reality.

Well if you want proof I'm not trying to drum up bidding check the game used universe boards. I asked about it a month ago and they told me to ask the Net54 forum. But I see where you are coming from and if you are planning on bidding on it I'm sorry for brining attention. I probably should have just waited it out.
