Have you ever...

Minty,

Why don't you just send a message to Fred, either here or ont he bay.

You know that he will know about it.

Plus, he will not be bidding against you because whatever card it is, he already has a better one in his back room!

Ha Ha, that's a classic shot. I have known Bizarro Kramer, by the way, since we were kids. ( my only Seinfeld connection)

As far as asking for help on the board. I don't hesitate to ask questions. I had severtal questions about T210 cards a while back and lost every single auction I was bidding on to NET54 members that week. I did wonder later about the fact that I may have garnered undue interest in those lots by asking on the board, but hey I needed to know som einfo and others opinions on the set. I can't compete with most of the buyers/dealers on this board anyway financially. I will just wait a few months and hope those T210's ( or most of them ) will show up on ebay agin being sold by whomever bought them last month. The only problem with that being that a card I could have won for $49 will suddenly be BIN for $149...so the chances of me actually buying it are next to NIL !
It's easy to manipulate certain dealers and collectors on this board through your queries too. I posetd that I was starting to collect a certain card and team not too long ago, and received some PM's offering sales.....also some people listed the exact cards I was referring to for sale in the BST and on Ebay the very next day. Could have been just a coincidence, but I doubt it.

in question is not a "What is this? What year/co.?, etc." I just need to know what it has sold for in previous auctions. My terapeak has no record of sale for this item in its current form

Ebay will give history of sales in the last 15 days. If it's more thinly traded than that try VCP. It is a subscription service that tracks sales through several auction houses on graded cards.

Even if the card you're not looking at isn't graded, you can figure a range.

Let me see if I've got this right .....

Minty comes on asking a nebulous Post War question, on a Pre War forum ...

Leon tries to uncloud the question, and recommends e-mail and PM's ... nice try.

Minty comes back stating that he didn't want to tip his hand with e-mails and PM's ... at which point I ask myself ... "Why is he asking the question to begin with?"

Then Mr Clean decides to become a spelling teacher ...
Bazaar - Bizarre ... who cares? ... personally, I luv the Bizarro bit.

It was an invisible post war question, in what use to be a pre war forum.

Leon, how many smiley faces do I have to put down, in order to unstiffen you?

BIzarro George is Jeremy Piven, amazing what some hair and hormones will do

[Robextend]

Totally useless info, but actually Jeremy Piven played George in the NBC pilot episodes. Bizarro George was some other actor....

Minty has yet to come on here and tell us what auction it was....even though it supposedly ended yesterday. I have my doubts it even was what he thought it was....
