I can't believe you are outing the auction of such a highly respected member.

leon this is a very very rare card lol

seems like the seller is somewhat legit with a lot of feedback. Wonder where he got that price?

As an autograph guy who occasionally wanders over here, I need to ask: What does the guy have there? Is he blowing smoke about it being the only one? 40k does seem patently absurd, but wve all seen crazier. Where does your estimate of 200 come from, Leon?

Just curious. Thanks in advance.

SCD has a Near Mint example listed at $285 and a Very Good at $85. This would be poor.

This seller does have a lot of legit listings. They have also tried to sell a fake T206 Cobb in a PSA slab that they knew was bad when purchased it They also bought a trimmed T206 from an honest member that had it listed as trimmed in a GAI slab and relisted it at 10X the price and did not mention the fact it was trimmed.

HA! This guy even calls it by its cataloged name in the auction, and then claims it's the "only known example." That is hilarious and sad. I guess he's just hoping that somebody who is willing to spend 40k before doing ZERO research will stumble on his auction.

Thanks for the info. As my HOF auto collection hasn't gone anywhere in a while, I might start dipping into pre-war oddities like this.

Perhaps the seller fat-fingered his listing and meant to type $40.
