Actually I was one of the fools that you guys speak of. I know it has been hinted a few times that somebody made a solid offer of 30-35k on the card at the national. In fact I was the person who offered Dave that for the card. In a way I’m glad he didn’t take it because I do think a bit of national fever had me caught up and valuing the card about twice what I would pay today. Even 15k I think is a bit generous given that there are no other known examples. Which in the end hurts this card IMO. As for the card itself it looked blue to me. There were some odd things going on via the front but nothing major. Part of the deal was Dave to except my offer was that I got to crack the card in the presence of SGC and look it over raw myself. Had that happened I could say 100% yay or nay for what that’s worth. However in the holder it looked ok for me to gamble. Also I’m not sure who is really left out there to buy on this type of anomaly. I know Dave ran this up the ladders of the usual suspects of which all passed. I know I made a solid offer and now it’s in Huggins & Scott. Hopefully Huggins can get new bidders to the table and get the card across the finish line of what Dave is looking for. For transparency I will not be bidding either I will wait till a second example pops up. Cheers, John

John stated that he was glad the guy didn't take his offer because he got kinda caught up into the moment. Unless everyone is saying he IS making a great decision on the sale of the card now...in that case, it is a great decision!

wonks
Jake and Chris nailed it exactly.....if Wonks wanted this card, he would have got it,.....its a matter how "comfy" he feels...... seller imo was getting a tad greedy in all due respect, of course seller wants to maximize the cards value....but getting , imo , "insane" prices on a "non" scrap.....the ball was all in John's court(and usually is
 ) .......john came to his senses and decided not to buy for possibly 3 or 4 x the "actual" market perception........the probability of more surfacing is slim imo....this examplemight be a lone anomaly.....if that is the case than holds the value lower....much lower imho....exactly as the other collectors stated...if this card was "hand cut" like authentic scrap, id say you d have something really insane  ....i hate to be the negative nelly, but the blue variant doesnt excite me.  ...it just "lacks" the x factormy humble opinion....i'm a little fish and can not afford cards like this (maybe one day).....so im not trying to skew opinion either way....i have not held the card, so its really not fair to give it a fair shake...one thing i am truly certain....t206 mystique will never die... the set continues to intrigue us and amaze us....100 +_ years later....gotta love the sxxt  i beleive t206 rarities are the future of collecting this set for the truly advanced collector...(i'm just nuts maybe  )(lol)peace johnny

Johnny, that makes sense...but John did try to get it and the seller declined.
He could pick it up now and maybe cheaper than his original offer, but it seems he is going to sit this one out Matt, Leon, Rob and others...I just found this great collection you may be interested in. Dogs galore...go get 'em! http://strejc-collection.com/
