This is a common OJ. In fact, rather common. The glue mark on the back makes it looked like it was rebacked to me as well. It has stains and wavy borders but a nice image. The high book on the card is $600. He has it listed with a BIN of $699. Granted, a nice image but possibly rebacked with the staining and wavy borders. I offered 10% of his price. Yes, $69. It might have been a little snide on my part but I offered my explanations. He counter-offered with a $698 and told me he has had offers over $500. I re-offered $79 and told him if he could get $500 for the card to jump at that price but doubted that he could for this particular OJ. He then emails and tells me that I am blocked from all future auctions and to not contact him again.
...fine by me.
So, was I in the wrong this time? In the past few months I have purchased several OJs in similar conditions that were rebacked for between $50 and $75. I honestly thought my offer was fair and he was just fishing for bids.
I hope he does sell it for that much...I have several OJ Clements including a few tougher pose and script variations in the same condition as his and I could always use the extra money.
