How is it that ( Mastro~) ???

Greg had a beautiful, well-centered T206 GAI 5 Cobb Bat Off on his website for $1850 the first week in April. I jumped too late and too low, and have been kicking myself ever since.

Another GAI 5 version of the same card sold a week later for $3300 on eBay, and the card was nowhere near as nicely centered as Greg’s. A search of similar auctions shows that, at least with this card, he is not at all above the market. I'm not mad because I could have resold it, just that this and other recent sales have put this quality of card out of my price range for the foreseeable future.

By the way, I hope he understands that when a collector "lowballs" him, it might just mean that that’s the price he/she is willing to pay at this time for the card, and isn't always looking for below-market deal. Some folks (like me) might just be trying to build a little card portfolio for a son or daughter and have to do it on the cheap...

I have gotten some N172’s from him (his website, not auctions) that I think are comparable to ones that have sold for more on eBay.
