LOL.

Maybe the guy is just trying to save the buyer's remorse for spending 225 bucks for a Kellogg's Rick Monday because it's in a plastic slab.

When the crash comes, it's these incredibly overvalued "high grade" commons that are getting pushed off the life boat first. I just don't get that people don't understand the reason they are "low pop" is that only a couple people want to actually pay to grade a Joe Shlabotnik, it doesn't mean there isn't a million of them.

I think I have a Joe Shlabotnik Rookie Pacific Coast League Winky Dinky Dog Franks issue. Extremely low population. Let me check.

Thanks for the board for flagging this. We are indeed addressing the matter. The bid in question has been canceled and we are counseling the consignor on the auction rules.

Consignors bidding on their own items, even if it's in earnest to win something back, is not allowed. While there probably are scenarios where this practice is more-or-less reasonable/honest, we've had to take a strict stance against it to avoid potential manipulation. New consignors are warned and then blocked from working with us if the practice persists.

Please continue to help us monitor the marketplace. This oversight is greatly appreciated.

Brent does deserve kudos for posting here and taking action. I wish ebay would have the balls to apply stricter bidding policies. As an example, bidding privileges should be revoked with too many bid retractions. Wouldn't be a cure all, but a start in the right direction. But we know they would never do such a thing.

Thank you Brent.

You do deserve kudos for taking action.

People do get it; they are just collecting what they want to collect.

Hey Matty, I wasn't shooting down those that are collecting for the love of it.

I am all for people collecting what they want and I admit to being an offender myself by having a registry set for Parrish. I do draw a line in the sand on paying realistically for these.

It's a fine line sometimes between those that are collecting cards and those really just collecting plastic holders.

After seeing your collection at times, I fully believe you understand collecting the card. It's just seeing people pay multiples of thousands for an off centered 10 for the impact on their registry and passing up a better 8 because the grader was blind that day that seems like the definition of madness.
