Jim, how irresponsible, careless and stupid of you. You don't know what you are talking about and yet you accuse someone that you probably have never done business with or spoken to. How would you like it if someone came into your place of business and kicked the Slurpee machine. Next time, be careful with your words and take the time to think before you act.

As someone who has purchased HOFers with Lenox, Drum, Uzit and Broadleaf backs in the last 12 months, I think the Goodwin and OP's eBay prices are both way too high. It surprises me that the Goodwin card went for that much and it doesn't surprise me at all that the OP's eBay listings haven't gotten a sniff.

That being said, I am happy since I've already bought mine.

Bill is a great guy and he runs honest auctions I feel. I love how if a price is high everyone immediately assumes shill bidding and not the fact that maybe 2 guys really needed the card for a set or another reason. A lot of cards go for more than what they should, but a lot also go for less than they should. Did the auction houses forget to shill those bids?

Why would a guy, who is already obsessed enough to pay a 6500 premium for a slightly different color ink on the back of a card, not take the 2 seconds to type brown Lenox and hit search... I know it's true but I just dont get it. Dan has had those cards up there for some time now... Is it really that big of a waste of time to look for deals? What happened to the thrill of the hunt?

Because typing in brown lenox yields 62 items, none of them baseball cards.

Expanding to include title and description yields 1,811 listings, only one under baseball cards.And it's a pair of big collages.

T206 Lenox finds 31 items, only two with Lenox backs, neither of them brown.

Waste of time ? Yep.

This may be true but they do buy at shows, I sold my AB Matty for $8500 at the Oaks show, it was a PSA 6.5.

Why would you pay $7700 through an auction house when a $4500 offer would get you one on ebay from a reputable seller? You could have someone else buy it for you if you wanted to stay anonymous.
