I don't understand the interference that's been allowed to go on in this thread.

I'm going to have to re-read the rules and see if something has changed that I wasn't aware of.

Go re-read the rules. I made one for guys just like you. It's called a catch 22. Lol...

I re-read them. Still says the same thing: There should be no interference by 3rd parties within the BST areas.

Is the OP doing something wrong that I'm unaware of that people are commenting negatively?

It feels like the 30th time we've seen this. Guy is unnecessarily combative with people. Has some lame ass scan of the card. Sort of mocks people for not being interested in supposed steal of the century. Declines to answer reasonable questions about it. It's all been a bit of Groundhog day with Bill Murray over here.

He certainly has a right to list his item for sale for any price he wishes.

It is rare!

A Jackie Robinson 1946 American Baseball Bureau Baseball questionnaire filled out by Jackie just brought $1.7 million in a Heritage auction.

Granted, it was directly tied to Jackie and written in his hand but the reason it brought the big money was because he said in answer to one of the questions, "Ambitions in Baseball" that he wanted to "open the door for negroes in organized ball." Obviously was he was referring to the major leagues and in less than one year he had fulfilled that mission.

I saw a pre-auction estimate of a million dollars and laughed thinking it was a crazy estimate. Well, I guess I was right only in the wrong direction.

You obviously had two bidders with unlimited funds who had to have this item. One finally tapped out at this price level.

I'm not comparing this item to that one as far as value, but $10K might well be a bargain although not to the current Net54 or Ebay community.

You might consider letting this run on ebay rather than here. Everyone here knows you have this card, and because of this thread and a few earlier ones, we know it sold for a little over $1k back to you. I can't see how it's a positive for you to keep showing it here, and it bumps other listings down the page here. This postcard is really cool and rare but it doesn't feel rare to me at this point. I feel like I've seen 70% of it 50 times in the last year. Just my 2 cents, great postcard.

Zing.

Now that made this thread totally worth it!

Read the comments David. He has listed this thing over and over and got on the wrong side of some members in doing so. It's been going on a long time. At this point it's not a big deal to me. And I am not sure you read this part of the rules, it's been there for at least 10 yrs.

leon - u r correct. i love listening to this false garbage made up by some members. first of all one guy said i get mad if they dont buy the card. totally false - i could care less if the card sells or not. secondly they are the ones that keep bumping the card and using fowl language which id bet is against the rules - under the fowl language constitution. truth is all i did is list a card for sale from day one and they want to keep giving it publicity. where in the world does it say i am required to give anyone the history of the card? is that a new rule in the constution. lets see these guys tell everyone where the got there cards and how much they were years ago - are these guys for real? its simple english - if u dont want the card dont buy it - maybe they need an interpretor. im done with this balony - let the members complain since theyve got nothing better to do.

But you did buy back the card in the Robert Edwards auction, did you not? Do they know because they now have your Champ Hats Roby. Will you be bidding on that one? Just curious. I know we are in an era in the hobby of anything goes but seems wrong to not call this out and to not put Robert Edwards on notice.

It's funny how the lousy photograph of this "1947-48" post card is always cut off or obscured at the flip. . . and BVG calls in 1948, which of course is not 1947-48. And not a rookie card. But I quibble.

I'd think a blatant misrepresentation like that would enough to ban a post, but thankfully I'm not one of the traffic copes around here.

Let me preface this reply by saying I think bums 1953 is hands down one of the top 5 D-Bags on this site. So now that you know how I really feel, I have no problem with someone buying their own card back at auction -- as long as they complete the transaction, and presumably pay the buyer's premium. why not? Its tantamount to putting a reserve on a card, except much more costly (unless the AH charges a BP on the unmet reserve amount, which Heritage does). It is not shill bidding, because the intent is not to make someone pay more, but rather a way of protecting an investment if you believe the card is not selling for what it is worth, or you simply have sellers remorse and do not want to lose the card.
