Presented without comment...thoughts on this auction?

Truly an incredible piece (presuming the autographs are all legit).

That price is also pretty astounding.

That price is beyond astounding...breathtakingly optimistic, IMHO.

What has my curiosity piqued is that this seller went from items that consistently sold for less than $100 to items priced in the thousands...practically overnight...and then to this six-figure piece.

I haven't looked into eBay selling patterns too closely; however, something here seems a bit peculiar.

Am I off base (pun intended) or is this pattern unusual? More to the point, would anyone here look at it as a red flag? I only ask because...if it were me, with that selling history...I would have likely consigned to an auction house if looking to sell an item for $165,000.

I'll bet he does not own it.
