The $1500 Comma

[vintagetoppsguy]

The comma is easily explainable – dust filter.

What’s even more odd than the comma is the recent transaction history.

Card is sold by Probstein for $3549 on 9/17/13
http://www.ebay.com/itm/T206-Walter-...ht_1086wt_1042

Card appears in Memory Lane, but never sells (Frank, I don’t think your link is actually a “sold” item). Card fails to sell at Memory Lane on 9/2/14 with a BIN of $3250. This is what I find most odd – why would Memory Lane list the card at $3250 when it just when it just sold by Probstein for $3549?

About two weeks later, the card re-appears in Probstein’s auction this time selling for $4733

Ebay does show that it did sell with Memory Lane in November as a buy it now.

Maybe a deadbeat bidder? Because he difinelty relisted it and it failed to sell in the auction ending January 2nd.

Still very odd though that is had just sold in Probstein's auction for $3549, but then for ML to turn around and list it with a BIN of $3250, potentially loosing nearly $300 and then Probstein turns around and sells it for $4733.

I bought a George Brown t206 from Probstein a couple months back. I bought it because I thought it was a magic "Piedmont 50 Subjects" and thought the 1 was never printed. Not the case. Must be scanner issues.

And here I always thought that Baker was the "dusty" One (1).

Commas can be big money sometimes, Frank. Add one, delete one,... ya' never know.....

Maybe Rick could use a shill bidder filter? Or spend the big bucks for either a fraud filter or a morality filter?

Banning guys with excessive retractions would be a start. When I spoke with him he says since ebay allows it he is only doing what ebay allows. He said he does ban some when they are called attention to. I think he needs to be a bit more vigilant though.

That sounds inconsistent to me. I allow it because ebay allows it, but I ban them when they are called to my attention. ??

I am only repeating what I was told. I think he was meaning when called to attention he looks at the egregious ones and goes from there. Heck, his phone number and email are everywhere, if you don't believe me, call him.

I was questioning his position, not you.

For those of us learning to be hobby police deputies, I have captured the image below, which is a dust filter. It will hold a lot of commas. I have no idea how this contraption connects to my scanner. Maybe Vincent Van Gopher or Roger Raccoon knows how this thing works. Dagnabit.

Forget asking Roger Raccoon, I think Sigmund would have quite a bit to say about your phallic symbol that has been collecting dust.

I have never chimed in on this guy but this is a BS comment if this was said.

It's not illegal to be a televangelist and take little old lady's money either...but it’s still a dick thing to do.

He did say it and I wasn't enthused either.
