I think you’re gonna have to take them on your phone and send them to your desktop computer.

Yes...That's how I do it. Then you get the option to choose a size. I usually go with medium.

Some nice pennants went off on the Ebay today. Hopefully you guys one.

Some nice prices realized. I was underbidder on the Red Sox. My snipes didn't even register on the others (1946-47-48-49 World Series).

Anybody here fork over the required cash?

I was probably under you on that one. I bid on a couple others too. I thought the 47 was nice, don't see that around much. Those 46's were nice as well. I have that 56 in my collection already, but i though some of them went very reasonable. Nice condition all throughout.

I got blown out on both the Dodgers WS pennants I had my eyes on.

I got the ‘49. The scarcity + condition made it too hard to resist. Already have ‘46 and ‘47. Was underbidder on the ‘48. ( ‘46 and ‘48 are early Keezers, very cool.)

I always get nervous after the auction, worried that the price was elevated due to just one other bidder. But three other snipes were over $1000 US, not too far from the final price. So that was somewhat comforting.

Congrats on your wins.

I am the same, and agree.

That's pretty funny Greg. If it's any solace even when there looks like there was only one other bidder, there actually could be many others whose snipes were a second after the underbidder and a dollar short. Those won't register on eBay.

Yeah that’s right ... good to know!

[perezfan]

Congrats Greg... That one was clearly the cream of the crop. Great score!

[thetahat]

Thanks guys! I think I’ll be having a fire sale soon on B/S/T ...

Very nice! It’s reassuring that every once in a while there’s still some good stuff on ebay. In my experience, not often but sometimes.

Ebay, with few exceptions, has been a wasteland for months. Compound that with all the extra home computer time the ebay trolls have due to covid and the competition for fresh meat is fierce. Everything good, listed as buy it now, is gone in 60 seconds.

Kind of sad, because I used to be the one getting them.

Typically now, when something good does show up, it's listed auction style. For a few years, auctions almost became obsolete on ebay. At one point Ebay planned for more of an Amazon type business plan, moving away from the auction format. But then something changed and they started offering hundreds of free auction style listings each month. Now auctions are back full force.

I love the colors in the ‘59 White Sox!

I resize mine under, but as close to, 2 MB as I can.
