IMO it will not get the minimum bid. Breakup value on the set is probably close to 20-25k...but not sure if it will sell as a complete unit. Looking at the major cards, I think the seller's estimation of PSA 3 overall is very, very generous. |

i live all of 8 mins from glendora, if anyone would like for me to stop by and inspect any particular card in the set, email the seller and let me know. |

I just glanced at the lot and might have missed it but I didn't see anything about the cards not having back damage. That could be a real problem if the cards had scrapbook damage, etc. and nothing was mentioned in the ad. |

In my experience, mice have a discerning taste for expensive items. I've rummaged through more boxes of antique paper with only the most prized possession in the lot chewed beyond comprehension. Interesting to see some of the better cards here with nibbles (or scrapbook removal??). |

I don't think it appropriate for us to comment on the minimum bid/asking price of an ongoing item. If this was your ebay item for sale, I'm pretty sure you'd be displeased with a thread saying you are asking too much. |

I'm doubtful it will get the minimum... if it does, it won't go for much more than that. I think card condition is part of it. The way the lot is presented will hurt it a bit. And I think the cards would generate more interest if they were sold at a show where they could be seen. |

Frank my objection to the discussion has nothing to do with "outing" an ongoing listing. My objection is that perhaps there are potential buyers out there who, upon seeing a thread of several knowledgeable collectors saying the minimum bid is too high, will stay away. This was not a cheap listing for the seller. |

I do see your point... I would be annoyed if I were negotiating a private sale and someone interfered with that. I see eBay as a public auction forum, the public should be able to speak. I as a seller could read this and lower my minimum before the auction was over, thereby saving fees. |

I really don't find his opening bid too high.I know the condition is off some but try to put all of these cards together from scratch and see what it will cost. If someone is looking for a complete set minus the big cards I see nothing wrong with the price. |

Frank - just to play devils advocate - isn't the BST a public forum as well? Would you have a problem with a thread here discussing that someone is asking too much for a card on the BST? Just because the forum of sale is public doesn't mean it's appropriate to have a public discussion of the price. |

You guys are welcome to discuss any aspect of anything I sell publicly, including the BST. Sometimes I price something to sell, sometimes I price it high unknowingly, sometimes high with a purpose. At present all I have offered for sale are 3 silver dollars, on eBay. 120196500755 is the item number for one of them, and the links will get you to the other two. Discuss those all you wish. They are beautiful coins. |

Joann - "The BST has specific rules about third party interference with auctions, including discussing whether the price is appropirate. Ebay does not have such rules." |

I think the set is fairly priced. The cards don't look completely chewed up (unless as mentioned above there is back damage to contends with), so the cost to assemble the group individually would be up there. |

boxingcardman - I think sets usually sell for a premium above the break-up price since the buyer is paying so they don't have to do all the legwork themselves of putting it together. Of course, most of us would probably say that's the most enjoyable part |

...and does not help here. If it was a T206 Plank, even with "rat chews" it would be worth north of $15K alone. |

I personally, see nothing wrong with discussing valuation of items on ebay or other auctions. I know that I've sought the counsel of other experts for items that I'm less familiar with (such as T3s). Auctions are by their very nature public events. And the open discussion of these events is as reasonable to me as discussing whether a publicly traded stock/bond/commodity is fairly valued (on a discussion board for such items of course). |

IMO, The penalty involved in "complete set" sales comes from the collector side. As a collector, the joy comes from the chase. When you buy complete sets, there is no CHASE therefore less joy. I would expect this particular auction would garner the interest of a dealer/investor looking to flip the cards individually vs a genuine collector trying to complete the monster. martyOgelvie nyyankeecards.com |

Sure Jeff - I wasn't suggesting anything by way of the board rules, I was just suggesting that it's best to refrain from an open discussion int he main forum on whether a seller's asking price on an item is too high or not; whether it be on the BST or on ebay. |
