Outing an auction upsets a potential bidder hoping to buy something for less than it might otherwise bring.

Outing an auction is appreciated by other folks who bid and appreciate the help in finding the auction.

And Outing an auction certainly helps the seller.


Seems to me that outing an auction is the right thing to do. I think the link should go back up...

if it was a Baltimore News Ruth hidden underneath a pile of napkin rings in the kitchen section of ebay, then thats outing an auction.

making mention of a listing that we'll all get email notification and magazines in the mail of, isn't outing an auction.

OK - Link restored.

The way I justify it is as follows: This appears to be a sale on behalf of an elderly woman -- possibly of her late husband's cards -- and she could probably use the money. I am sure she knows nothing of cards, which is why these T206s turned up at this local auction house.

And for the early poster who believes these are common T cards, it might behoove you to do some digging around in the scans, unless we are now calling a Ty Cobb Bat off Shoulder a common card.

Sorry to all those who hoped to score a deal on the cheap. I originally just posted for the irony of the last name. Then I put myself in her shoes.

Have at it.

Peter just said that to throw off potential buyers, he wants all of those T206s for himself. He loves T206s and threads about T206s.

I was in Brevard once during the 'White Squirrel Festival'. Interesting part of the world.

I can't imagine anyone will want cards from "the Trimmer Collection" anyway...

The auctions you mentioned are well publicized. The one in the original post is not as well publicized. I had never seen that one as well as I bet 90%+ of the board hadn't seen it (yet). That is not the case with the industry auctions you mentioned. That is the difference. I am fairly neutral on the whole outing of auctions issue but have to admit, if one is in a weird category, and I search for hours to find it, I would prefer it not being outed while it's still going. Just my preference but the world won't stop if it is.

I couldn't agree more Frank. Seems like some people just get a case of sour grapes when an auction is outed. Thats part of the hobby we have chosen
