D. $100 bid increments on something pushing a half million dollars is most one of the most absurd things I've seen.

An 8 did not hammer at Goldin for 313
I think you confused Goldin with mile high

it's tough to follow what is going on , on eBay because as I understand it, until tomorrow anyone can place a bid with no credit check. I remember when I tried to bid on action comics number one on eBay they had to approve each bidder in advance of any bid. So as a non regular on eBay looking at an ultra high priced item this is a confusing process to me.

You are right Ken. I edited my previous post.

Bidder 1271 may be a legit spender but clearly he has no ethics. I would hate to be going after this card and seeing his bid history.

Just my opinion, but the color on that Mile High Mantle (the slightly greener blue...) is way better than the PWCC 8. Even with the print line through his cap. And the black box surrounding the stars around the name plate is unbroken on the Mile High one, vs. the "crumbly look" above the stars on the one in the current auction. I know both are legit variations, but just saying. I would scrutinize the minutiae too if I were paying that much for a card.

I guess it's a good thing I collect mostly cards in VG condition. Er,...nevermind I wouldn't be able to afford a '52 #311 even in much worse condition than that.
