More like: "Let me guess -- he bought it for 30K a month ago and now thinks it's worth 65K?"

If he bought it for $30K, he overpaid by about three times the true value.

But worst of all, after you pay $50k-$65K to own this piece, you have to GO TO SYRACUSE TO PICK IT UP!

Talk about adding insult to injury.

He sold 300 items in 7 years and he's a Powerseller?

Agree, I see nothing in there higher than a 5 and that's assuming they can be pulled out of the album. I think this is a very cool item and I'm sure we'd all like to own it, but it ruins it when someone has such unrealistic price expectations.

Unfortunately for the seller Goudey's are kinda tough to soak, so there is no guarantees that these will soak out well. Many cards of that era have the backs printed directly on the cardboard stock, however, Goudey's have a thin layer that was applied to the backs that included the printing (that thin layer is often easily damaged when removing glue, scrapbook paper, etc. from the backs.)

To become a Power Seller you have to sell $3k worth of items over three months, then you have to keep up a monthly average of $1k. There is a way to become one with volume, but many sellers nowadays get there through dollars. From a sellers point of view its worth it as you get discounts on your Final Value Fees.
