I should also point out that both of the prior M110 Chase sales occurred in REA.

They had an M110 Chase?
pretty cool.

I didn't even look at the auction.

I was going back & forth with someone on the M110 Chase auction night. I finally gave in and waved the white flag. Still went for much less than previous examples.
Someone got a great Chase cabinet.

Well, these rare, 4-5 figure cards often have a very small bidder pool. You remove one deep-pocketed bidder from the pool who usually gets what he wants in an auction and the floor drops out on a final price. Doug didn't stop the criticism and he cost his consignor 6K. Sounds like a lose-lose proposition to me.

Similarly, I wonder what would happen if guys like Keith Olbermann or Corey Shanus stopped bidding in Legendary auctions? How would you like to be a Legendary consignor of cards or memorabilia which these guys collect and then you learn too late that they are not involved with Legendary anymore? Probably a result very similar to what happened with that M110 Chase: an item finishes at one-third of what it should have done based on recent, prior sales.

Jeff - Even if you weren't banned, would you have bid on the Chase?
You certainly don't trust them or like them, so why put more $$$ in their hands?
