By the way, is it true that a T205 set that "sold" for over 40K this summer in Goodwin showed up for sale, card by card, at the National a few days later and was deeply discounted -- by Goodwin?

Jeff,

I thought the discussion on that thread was specifically about the legitimacy of the card being sold 4 times. The title of the thread is Cards Making The Rounds. I did not see any posts about questions as to whether or not a consignor was paid on that thread.

As far as what Bill brought for sale to the National I did not pay too close attention. The time I spent at this table was mainly looking over the auction preview and speaking to him and several collectors who seemed to be hanging out behind his table. I won't speak for Bill but it has been my experience that he does not bring a great deal to sell at the shows.

I think there are valid reasons that Bill may have items from his last auction for sale at The National. I know of a couple guys who were making the rounds recently bidding on items and never having any intention to pay for them. I can't comment specifically about the t205s, but it does happen. I'm not defending anyone, cause I really don't know what the truth is, all I'm saying is that there seems to be an overwhelming positive response from buyers and sellers from his auctions and I will give him the benefit of the doubt till proven otherwise.

There is an innocent explanation for everything. Here, this PSA 8 1965 Ernie Banks went for 5x that day (723, typically sells around 150 on a good day) due to two bidders not having the patience to wait for the next one to come along or to find another of the 10 then available. Or maybe it was the flowery description.

Real nice to know... Hopefully, they are through "making the rounds".
