Anyone on board bidding/going to bid on this eBay lot?

Looks like we may have a plan. Thanks. Ed

"I have no explanation for what happened overnight."

Thats just crazy. No way this lot is worth even one fourth of that. Needless to say, what I was planning on putting in to the pot was no where near what would be needed to pay for 1/5 of that lot.

Thanks for the responses, guys. Time to just sit back and see how stupid some people are.

I could see $200 on that lot...Kept looking for something I missed. Why don't things like that ever happen to lots I list?

Perhaps someone really wanted the back stamp? I can't figure out any other justification for the price.

Zero feedback bidder...let's see if it gets paid for. Surprisingly though someone with over 1200 feedback bid $450 on that lot. Also I'm pretty sure the seller is a member of Net54, too bad he didn't offer that Howe straight out to you Ed.

Hi- I am the seller of this lot under our ID painthistorian...I just woke up and saw this bidding pattern..this zero feedback bidder is unknown to us and has been e mailed to PLEASE give us his real name and actual commitment to bid or he will be cancelled and blocked. All zero feedback bidders are supposed to contact us first and this was not done but in no way can we tell his(her) intentions at this time. By tonight, if this bidder does not contact us, we will do this. This type of bidding cannot be controlled, in one sense, e Bay sellers want bidding action early but we do not tolerate troll bids if this is the case. LARRY

that Ed is going to held hostage in Lincoln, unless he pays the buyer $500 for the McCormick stamp. Can you spell hoarder extortion?

Look at the bright side though, Ed, you will no longer be stuck in Omaha.

I really believe that everybody who comes across a T206 with Howe McCormick stamped on the reverse has a moral obligation to get the card to Ed. The card should not be put up for auction, or sold on the B/S/T.

It's not like a signed T206, which has an intrinsic value. (Though I'd wish people would just send me their signed T206s!) It's no more than a $15 card in that condition.

Baseball card Karma, folks.
