Me thinks some of these guys should invest in a snipe service.
And Rum ain't even showed up yet.

7.00 postage seems reasonable.

Beautiful colors on that Oliva.

WinPitcher · February 6, 2006 10:43AM

I agree, the only thing I can see is some yellow on the W in Twins.

That card has been going back and forth between a few guys.

S N I P E !!!!

I think what they're doing is called foreplay!

NewJerseyMeatHook · February 6, 2006 11:18AM

Beautiful.

Kurtman9 · February 6, 2006 11:23AM

he's a good seller too from my experience.

baseballfanatic · February 6, 2006 1:09PM

Louis Bollman is one of the best out there...........

I realize that you included the "winky" face, but I can't tell whether you think $7.00 is high or not. With insurance, even UPS Ground is going to be approx. $20

A761506 · February 6, 2006 1:39PM

I wish I had a couple 1965 PSA 10's that both of these guys needed. I'd throw in registered shipping for no extra charge

Was a joke.

Was a thread here last week? regarding shipping costs and .....you had to be here,

yes 7.00 for that is very very very good.

WinPitcher · February 7, 2006 4:12AM

Yikes

these guys keep going at it. the card is up to over 2.5k!!

Wonder what it will end at?

Remm, Rum ain't even showed up yet.

I say 3600.00 unbeliavable.

Jesus I like spending money on cards like the next guy however with my mortgage and taxes etc this seems like a really frivelous purchase. I guess I am jealous that I do not have that much disposable income. People really have money and money and money

ROCKDJRW · February 7, 2006 5:21AM

Beautiful!!

ArnyVee · February 7, 2006 5:24AM

Gorgeous card and it's sitting on the cusp of 3K now!

WinPitcher · February 7, 2006 6:08AM

Im surprised that no one has addressed the yellow spot on the W in Twins.

Steve

WinPitcher · February 8, 2006 8:01AM

Don't look now but the CARD is looking to hit 5k.

damn wish I had 5k.............but not for that card. LOL

Steve

A761506 · February 8, 2006 8:07AM

Good thing (for sellers) there are people like that who for some reason or another just refuse to use a sniper program.

lamontcarter · February 8, 2006 8:44AM

over 5K!

ctsoxfan · February 8, 2006 9:40AM

Just unbelievable money now - maybe this sale will warrant an actual ride to the post office!

zef204 · February 8, 2006 9:40AM

<< <i>over 5K! >>

That is freaking insane!

WinPitcher · February 8, 2006 9:45AM

Just imagine winning that and living in ILL? add 8% sales tax to that.

Now if I was to spend 5k plus on a card I think I would put that into a Ruth. JMO

mudflap02 · February 8, 2006 9:56AM

Steve-

I'm pretty sure that the yellow in the "W" you're talking about is a smudge/scrape on the slab, but I could be wrong. I know better than to get into an argument with you!

WinPitcher · February 8, 2006 10:24AM

I can live with my 7.............25.00 worth.

Steve

mudflap02 · February 8, 2006 10:43AM

But Steve, which would you rather have, all things being equal, including shipping?

OR

sandmanfromlv · February 8, 2006 10:48AM

that's a sweet 7...what's bringing it down?

mudflap02 · February 8, 2006 10:56AM

Hey now - 2000 posts all of a sudden! And some were even quality stuff!

I said some but not most.

WinPitcher · February 8, 2006 11:32AM

hat's a sweet 7...what's bringing it down?

the t/b centering and the lower left corner is a tad soft. the back is chip free. I have 8's that look worse. It is a hi end example that is for sure.

Steve

Mud For the money I want the 7. my whole set has been put together for less then what 4 of those Oliva's will bring. hey whatever floats ya boat i say. 5 guys want that card bad enuff to bid on it. prolly 100 or more would love to own it too.

kingraider75 · February 8, 2006 3:13PM

Too bad I need money for closing costs ! I could start building a Gem Mint 1965 set instead! That's crazy!! Insane folks!

NewJerseyMeatHook · February 9, 2006 1:10AM

My brother's response to this auction link . . .

"I've already got this card in awesome shape, 4 sharp corners just a smidge off center, so it's probably a PSA 2."

-Brother Tom

theczar · February 9, 2006 7:52AM

less than three hours and now at $5700. that seller is doing cartwheels and praying someone doesn't back out.

ctsoxfan · February 9, 2006 10:43AM

And, that's the hammer - $5,700. But, something sure seems odd about this purchase, versus what the winning bidder has been buying recently on Ebay.

WinPitcher · February 9, 2006 11:19AM

Ctsox I agree!

plus i find it odd how the underbidder bids all week long and would not throw in a bid there at the end?

I think a few of those guys got caught up in the bidding and are RELIEVED that they did not win that thing.

dont get me wrong it is a nice card, centered well. but it has a few flaws that take it out of the gem category IMO. Gem IMO is flawless. front and back.but Im old school when it comes to grading.

that slash of yellow in the W and the print dot in the purple name plate field. I also see a dot in the upper right in the bleachers.

also that card should have had in retrospect a better scan. I hope some of those guys asked for one but by the looks of the bidding how could they have?

Steve

A761506 · February 9, 2006 1:39PM

I too wonder about that winning bidder... it would really be a bummer if they didn't come through with the money... slim chance it would go even close to that high if it had to be relisted.

I love collecting cards for the cards themselves, but I also have to keep in mind the financial aspect, in case I ever decide to refocus or need to cash out... this card just rings of a poor investment.

at over 2k and 3 days to go still!
