3 Ty Cobb Lucky 7's just showed up on EBay.

[Scocs]

Seems like a misguided dealer. eBay is fraught with problems -- why wouldn't you use a reputable auction house?

[bnorth]

Anyone else notice how all the Ty Cobb back cards have Cobb looking off to the side like the reprints and when I looked at graded T206 Red Cobbs on eBay they all seemed to be looking straight forward.

I think he caught a glimpse of a pretty girl and followed her with his eyes. But I never have noticed this. Very interesting. I wonder if any other series that has a red cobby has his eyes like that?

No, just nystagmus.

The $1mil. Card just sold on eBay.

[Sean]

"Best offer accepted."
I don't know how to find what that best offer was.

[jfkheat]

The listing info has already been removed from Ebay. There is a site that you can find out what the best offers were on Ebay BINs but since the listing was removed from Ebay it isn't working. It shows up in the seller's completed listings but if you click the auction you get this: "This listing (331806099199) has been removed, or this item is not available.
Please check that you've entered the correct item number
Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing."

because the cards are counterfeit.... But really, we don't know the owner, cards were slabbed 15 minutes from discovery, PSA doesn't tell us how they authenticate, 3 or 4 are sold on the "inside", and now the sloppy seconds hit the market with a company specializing in pennant stickers. If I had a vintage printing press, this is exactly how I would do it.

Rick has been a dealer in cards for many many years. He has had some very high grade material. There's no conspiracy here. He's trying to sell direct as anyone would.

Plus one big time. I've been doing business with Rick going back to the late 90's...It sounds like a lot of sour grapes....

Well, it looks like it's time for this board to get an Ignore User function... you, sir, are woefully ignorant.

There is one and it is great!

Then I guess I am woefully ignorant as well. ;-)

Private sales off eBay are still fraught with problems...

[rhettyeakley]

I'm pretty skeptical of the supposed prices these have been bringing. I never in a million years thought of a T206 Cobb/Cobb as being a million dollar card (even if graded an 8 or something crazy). I just don't know if I believe that the nicest really sold for somewhere around 1-2mil like is being reported. It wouldn't be too hard to manipulate prices on these and convince collectors to overpay for the subsequent ones. I just can't imagine them selling for anywhere near what is being reported in an actual auction setting.

I assume he's not using an AH so he gets paid the commission. If the consignor wanted to sell these through an auction house he or she would have done so. And still might at some point. Ebay makes sense for the extra exposure, probably to attract a private offer.
