The buyer in question has a reputation for getting what he wants - price no worries - when he really wants a card.
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
Greg always has had the "knack" for getting big bucks for his auction items.
Hard to believe that this card would bring this much cash to the table, but I guess if you want something soooooooooooooooo bad sometimes the price does not matter.
Buyer and Seller of PSA graded Baseball Cards from 1900-1980.

Miami3- I would have to agree with you regarding Greg getting big dollars on his auctions. I have noticed he gets about 4 times more than the average person. I don't understand why all of his cards do this. He must have all the serious guys bidding at once.

Looking for high grade rookie cards and unopened boxes/cases
I know with all the legal experts out there, I'd better be careful what I type, but any competent EBAY user can see the bidding pattern, look at bidders feedback, and make some their own judgments.
However in this case, the most frequent bidder didn't impact the hammer price.

I guess that particular bidder likes to do business with only a couple of dealers.
This bidder may think he is trying to help out a dealer that he does business with...without realizing he is doing more harm than good in the public eye by bidding like that. If I was Greg...I would inform the bidder while he appreciates the bids...its best not 30 times on one auction...the bidder might not know any better.
Totally agree on all counts. I know I'd think twice before sniping his auction--also because I couldn't sniff the final hammer price from where I land...

Does anyone know the number bids an auction needs before it is considered a "hot item"..where it receives a extra icon next to it?
