You answered your question. Looks like it started at $0.99, people started bidding it up... I'd be willing to bet someone emailed the seller w/ a high enough offer that he pulled the card.

It looks trimmed and really beat up with a lot of creases.

Nope, I was the high bidder when the auction was pulled. The seller stated that "he had received a lot of interest in the cards (he had two similar) and wanted to investigate further and maybe have it them graded".

I don't know who else was bidding, but I brought it up to the $34+ that it was at when it was pulled, solely because of my Dode Paskert back/variation run.

I'm pretty bummed as it would have made a nice addition to the Paskert collection. Not sure what the value would be considering the poor condition, but it was more about the player and uniqueness than price for me

And I did email the seller asking if he would consider an offer and was told that he didn't close auctions early (too many headaches)....

Whatever price the card is eventually sold for, it'll be half of what it's really worth.

Well Steve...for your collection...I can see the allure...but as a single card...standing alone...it looks like a beaten piece of crap to me!

Agreed! It is a beaten piece of crap, but someone must have somehow convinced the seller that it was worth a boatload of cash!

It is a scrap - the blocky overprint you see is a print layer from another card. It is shifted so you actually have parts of two cards printed here (the gap between them is the space between the images on the two cards).

Yes, but when it goes up for sale on BST it will be described as "severely undergraded."

This seller has had a few scraps so its highly likely legit, looking forward to seeing a better scan of it.

Agreed, but the odd thing is that they had different backs. Paskert is a SC 350, while Maloney and Ganzel are Piedmont 350.

I really, really, really need to have the Paskert!!!

Half is being generous, IMO, Rob, but maybe that's just me.

Default here's............
johnny!

I have been super busy! card is 1000% SCRAP....

what, no one posted the Maloney???

lol.......if collectors even knew....

Bryan was on the right track.....Chris will elaborate some more on paskert....it has the cool upside down magenta" block" 2 player ghost over print front...

Maloney was the second BEAUTY! another dual upside down magenta over print front...

HONESTLY I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS ABOUT SCRAP...

I truly love them....

advanced collectors....historians....deciphers of the set....print expert and veteran collectors will appreciate their inherent beauty...

the cards were perfectly "camied" as beaters....they fly right under the radar..

the blank back snodras, the McBride yellow brown and now these two other scraps came from the same collection...

there was also a "tweener" scrap in the lot......ganzel if anyone was astute enough to decern it...

geeze....these cards are so obvious to spot.......you guys have a lot to learn
