I was there for an hour, it was typically lame. I had to drop off two cards for grading but then as I was leaving I spied a T213-1 Chase with a perfect back and decent front. Like a total miracle.

Asking price: $3,000?

I tried the Net 54 discount, my upcoming wedding, the recent flood in my basement, Obamacare -- and finally I got it down to only 20% more than what it was worth.

Gosh, you are either being shill bid or gouged on the straight sale. The things you put up with...

[calvindog]

It actually was a breeze, the seller was great. As long as I didn't have any consignors knowing what I was bidding on it, it went very smoothly.

[RCMcKenzie]

Way to go.

Was the asking price really $3000? Did the guy have any other T213 for sale?

[calvindog]

LOL no the asking price was $200! The seller was totally fair and a really decent guy.

He had mostly T206 with some rare backs and I was just stunned to see the Chase portrait -- and then saw the flip with 1910 and T213 on it. Really stunned. Moral of the story: what's rare to you can be chopped liver to another. And when you get your hands on it that chopped liver is as good as gold. I would have paid twice what he asked for it, I was just thrilled to have finally nailed that card.

Nice to hear you knocked that one off your list. Congratulations.
