Anyone see the T205 Bridwell Drum back PSA 5 end?

A T205 Drum in a PSA 5 should have brought much much more, were these sold on Ebay? Links?

Those prices were a steal. They had boldly printed backs, unusual for t205 Drums. Congrats to the winner. I thought for sure Scott would be in on them. Sorry you didn't see them.

Ed,

I wish I had, but I no longer bother with Ebay. I predict those will be flipped for 2-3's the money.

The joss was exceptionally nice for the grade. I dropped out about $100 below what it fetched.

Yes, the Joss was nice. I also dropped out about $100 to short.

On the Joss it was one of those things. I passed on a nice 4 at Chantilly for $1200...it didn't really fit the grade of my set. But when a 1 MC goes for almost half that you have to ask if you made the right decision.

Seriously? $6-10k for the Bridwell? Not arguing, I just can't believe there are folks who didn't see it that would pay 3x in say REA or another auction.

Yes, I too feel that is a $7500 card in the correct venue, which ebay wasn't. Seller lost a ton of money imo.....

Wow, I stand corrected. I know both of you guys are pretty good at estimating stuff like that. Is it the promotion? Big$ collectors not using ebay?

Correct. Many folks don't have the time or energy to wade through all of the crap on ebay. They just won't do it. A lot of the folks that pay stout prices would rather go to auctions that only offer good items. At least they aren't wasting their time (which is money) looking at grandpa's attic finds and pseudo-Craig's list specials. I do still use ebay to buy sometimes because there are some good things....but many, many folks don't do it anymore. Just my opinion and others might feel differently. regards
