I don't think there is anything wrong with discussing an auction on a forum like this. No matter what the item is. We would be talking about it around a table if we were all together. Granted this is more public, but why should that make it a no no to talk about the auction?

I don't really think it's a 'no-no', but if it were my card, I'd be cringing - the recent discussions here couldn't be helping the value.

I like John's comment that maybe there's another one - if that were the case, I think $15K would be a deal.

Scott, I hear you. But I'm hard pressed to believe that we have that much influence on the market. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Also, what if there is another one out there and the owner of that other one just bought his second one. Now expose that there's two known and resell one for a killing.

Just a thought.

Well, that's the end of that.

Who bought it?

I wouldn't be surprised if the consignor bid on it, or if the auction house bid on it to "save" themselves from looking kind of silly - a flagship item of the auction not even getting a bid?

Who knows. Whoever got it though, nice card. I'd want it. Just not anywhere near 15K want it.

Call it a hunch... but I think we will see this card for sale again in the REA.. if not before.

By someone bidding on this card it now validifies the pricing. If the auction house or consigner did it then that was wrong and dishonest. I don't think this card will every settle in ones collection too long. It's gonna be the new hobby slut. Passed from one to another getting cheaper and less interesting each time.

Some of the most likely buyers, imo, commented here that they were not interested at this time. So I don't think it was net54s fault. Just some people lost intrest.... It got cold real fast, is all.
