Guesses on the T208's tonight?

Well, all their prices were not weak:

Still trying to understand this one.

That E98 Brown makes no sense. My guess is two bidders chased it all night. That's usually the pattern in these cases.

That's a $900 card maybe. My only conclusion is that Bill Goodwin must have won it and is planning on auctioning it off for 75K.

That is an easy one. It was bid up by two dealers who know how to remove stains and iron out wrinkles, thus turning a vg/ex card into a nm or better card.

P.S. If you think Legendary is shill bidding now, with an ongoing FBI investigation into that practice, you must be smoking something.

Who knows what Legendary is doing or not doing -- I didn't suggest that there was any shill bidding on this lot. Regardless, from experience I can tell you that the type of person who breaks the law is the same type of person who will continue to break the law even with law enforcement watching. Of course, I actually know this from 20 years of practice as opposed to just talking out of my ass.

Oops - I forgot the T215 Pirate and the T231 Fans. Sorry to all of the owners of cards from these two sets that I may have offended - that would be a grand total of maybe 2 people?

Ted- you could never factor in an 18 1/2% buyer's premium and end up with round numbers. They would all be crooked (pun not intended).

Leon - as long as you are holding the drink tickets for next year's national, I would never do anything to upset you.

Regarding T card scarcity, I would think there are also fewer T214 cards known to exist for each player than T208s. Is my thinking in error?
