    dont know to much about the year, but it looks like 2 snipers put up a crazy high bid, thinking they would def not miss at that price and both pushed each other

    Dave,
    2 bidders put in what they thought were winning bids. They also thought the price would never even come close to the bid. 1 was wrong. I've seen it happen this way on occasion. The 3rd bidder is a very strong Yankee bidder. His bid is probrably on the high side of what the card would really go for.

    When something like this happens, do you think the high bidder actually pays? Would you rather take a negative or pay 3-4x the value of the card?

    I have to think when you bid $1100 for a card, you're prepared for (though possibly dreading) the possibility it will cost you that much. When you're building a set and need that certain card in that grade, all rational thought leaves you!

    Anyone who bids any amount must realize that the full amount may be utilized.
    I know the bidder, he is a solid eBayer and will pay quickly...jay

    It is a POP 1/2 and it is a Yankee

    But with 25 psa 8's out there, i have a feeling a few people are going to be summiting more of this card.

    I wonder what his real max was, for all we know it could have been twice that

    I know the second place bidder, and he too would have paid quickly if he had won for his top dollar bid.

    How can anyone possibly be against what PSA stands for? You have the seller who is probably on cloud 9 right now and a buyer who has one of the toughest cards to find in high grade out there for his collection. If that card was raw, he would be lucky to get $20 for it!!

    OR.....you have the seller who thinks he can get that kind of money for any 9's, empties his collection into holders and winds up in the unemployment line with slabs back home to the ceiling and a buyer whose family is now starving as a result of his having squandered the kids' lunch money....


    ....just a thought....as long as we're talking about what we stand for....image

    Think the same thing happened with a 1967 Don Demeter a while back
    ebay:1967topps
    1967and 1973 Topps baseball wantlists (any condition) welcome. Once had the #14 ATF 1967 set. Yet another collector like skylaneflyer, gimel1 who made it to the completion of 1967 only to need the money more than the company of 609 close friends.

    insane price, happened to me an a larry doby that was well centered. Since I was new to ebay dumb pride was on the line and I paid 3 times SMR. The difference here is I learned from my mistake.
    Now looking for a 1950 Bowman Baseball Box as pictured below.

    A few weeks ago memorylaneinc paid almost $600 for a PSA 7 38 Goudey common. Then again it was the last card they needed for their complete set. Who knows what this guys motives were.
