Who said there are no deals on ebay......

Looking at the auction, it appears that the card was pulled. $9.99 was the opening bid. I am sure that they got a flurry of emails asking for a BIN price quickly, and decided to pull it down and let someone other than Ebay auction it off. Sorta like the same that happened to that woman doing the late night talk show circuit with that Cincinnati Red Stockings card.....

I know the seller. He goes to all the Raleigh shows. I will ask him next time I see him.

Just out of curiosity, how much would an uncancelled McKinley go for? Is that an easy 6 figure card?

Not 6 but definitely 5 figures

Interesting. Ebay doesn't let you see anymore when a fixed price listing was first put up. I was curious to see how long some of these cards were floating around before somebody snatched them up.

I guess this is a lesson for those of us who weed out all the fixed price listings to only view the auctions.

Wow, I can't believe these things still happen with all the available information out there.

My guess is either Greg didn't realize what he had or it wasn't real. But it will be interesting to find out.

It sure looked real.

There are plenty of great deals to be had.... if you have time to dig! Off the top of my head, I got a T216 Mino for ~$12, a T206 Piedmont Factory 42 entirely by accident (crummy scans), and a Queen Victoria signed document for $60 or so.

I already talked with him....poor bastard....real deal card.........

I go to all the Raleigh shows. I've set up at every one since July. Do we know each other?

If you have vintage, pehaps. If you have modern, no.

[polakoff]

I have both, but more modern. I usually have one case of vintage stars and a 3200 count box of low grade set fillers. No tobacco (yet).

A few years ago I picked up a signed 1957 Brooks Robinson on EBay for $10 complete with the auto ticket from the show it was signed at. Seller listed it as Brooks Robinsom no one else saw the spelling error on the listing and I was the only bidder.

Tobacco doesn't thrill me. Show me some 50s Topps though, and some Goudeys....that's cool!
