Uh, gee, guys ... it's not all that rare ...

... of a medal: 1934 - FIFA World Cup - Roma

A good example of why not to get caught up in "must-win fever".

JohnZ

"Must-win fever" is right. I've bought from that seller several times, and I can tell you he's legit. Doesn't hype his auctions, always starts with low bids and no reserve. Ships from Sweden in a matter of two or three days. Whatever's going on in this auction is not of his doing.

Askari

Yes, if anything, Lars provides too little info on his material, but he's a very dependable seller. The medal these guys are royally überbidding should have gone for a tenth its current bid, maybe $36 tops.

BTW, Askari, how do you get diacritical marks on your text in these forums, ie. the umlaut over the "u" in uber?

Askari

Like all good wizards ... I cheat!

I went into Word and used the Symbols function to list the characters I wanted and made up a little notepad page from them which I saved to my desktop. Whenever I need it, I open, copy and paste. it works like magick!!
