CHIEF BENDER Ghost OverPrint Error?? STOPPED

[tbob]

Just curious, did the bidders know the auction was about to be closed down and given a chance to make a higher "bid" or was it just a bolt from the blue auction ending? Anyone here bidding on it know?

Black light, anyone?

I was bidding and was considering making a decent final bid near the end. No, I don't think I would've won, but who knows??

As for questioning the legitimacy of the ghost print. Well, the new owner will have the burden of proof.

I was a very active bidder with a lot of room and I never had a chance

Here is the response I got, he just lost a very active customer!

The card is no longer available for sale. Thank you for your interest.

I would agree with my T206 friend Dan McKee that the seller left a lot of $,$$$ on the table by ending this auction early.

Back in January 2002 a friend of Scott Brockelman won a T206 Honus Wagner card with upside down overprint of Doolin on the front of the card. I have the image but not sure how to post pictures on this new forum. If someone wants to email me for the pic maybe they can post the picture.

While the front overprints are rare, I believe they are legitimate.

Without knowing how much he accepted, there's no way to know that. Odds are you're probably right, but I've had several occasion where I've offered a seller more to end it then I eventually won the card for.

The other images don't center and align on the Mullaney card. In that regard it proves the point that the Lake/Bender card is more likely a card/card transfer than a sheet/sheet transfer.

That particular seller I'm surprised even answered you. I have e-mailed him several times in the past where he has misidentified or incorrectly listed cards in a way that would cost his consignors money. Never heard a single respsonse or noticed a changed listing. I believe he does a lot of consignment work as I know he lists for a gentlemen out of Atlanta.

Wow, talk about a mixed blessing! You've got to believe the Wagner sans Doolin would go for a bunch more than the mutant card.
Art, if you want to email me at trophybob@sbcglobal.net with the pic, I'd be more than happy to post the scan here.
