How the mighty have fallen edited: (BUT now selling for $900?)

1990 Thomas NNOF PSA 8

This sold for $415 (s/h/i included!), which is close to twice what the previous PSA 8 sold for. Good buy for the buyer. Bad sale for the seller.

Thoughts?

I paid $450 for mine.

edited to say: close to "half" of what the previous 8 sold for. sorry

Shouldn't this be the other way around. If the seller got twice what the previous card sold for I would thing that would be good for the seller.

Please repeat...............

seller of that card listed it in autographs too.

Anyone know the print run of that card?

Its not alot, but how many unoped factory sets are there still out there?

Nicely done. If you can't laugh at yourself....

It's still a pretty cool card and lots of people are in it much deeper than $450.

Perhaps the steroid drama has actually helped Thomas??

Here is the same card, same grade that is already at $900 on eBay + s/h. The high bidder appears to have a 271 rating, so I'm assuming it's legit.

PSA 8 NNOF Thomas

On the other hand, the $500 discrepancy in price may also be due to the fact that the seller of this card is also offering a PSA 9 Thomas RC as well.

Timothy1899 has had a string of great Thomas items up in recent days. That was a steal...I had that card in my watch list but it definitely slipped under my radar.

I should have bid $600 for fun on that one that went cheap and just socked it away. dammit!

We've got either an extremely stupid NBP or a sleazy salesman...the same Thomas that recently sold for $415/dlvd is relisted...this time with a regular Topps rookie...and...a Leaf rookie. He's a one upper.

I just messaged him to find out the cause of the relist.

Look at who the high bidder is.

I wonder if there is a connection?

reply from seller:

No I had 3 psa 8's 2 BGS 8.5 and 3 ungraded. This is my last psa 8.




I call BS. It's not a stock photo...3 different photos of the same card over 2 auctions...looks like he's selling the same one.

This is pretty blatant. I think lov2speed2 is a safety account (read: shill) that timothy1899 uses if he feels his cards don't sell high enough. Look:

- He sold the same raw Thomas to him here
- Then sold the graded version of what appears to be the same exact card here
- And now he's offering the same card he's apparently sold to the same guy twice here


Also, look at the feedback left for others: lov2speed2's and timothy1899's . It appears for one of the feedbacks lov2 left for timothy, he stepped "out of character" and used all caps, ala timothy1899.

Looks like it's almost definitely a shilling account. I wouldn't be surprised to see lov2speed2 win this Thomas auction if it doesn't reach at least $700. Someone should report him.

Edit: There's also a string of 6 or 7 cards that lov2speed2 won from timothy.

Why would anyone want a defective baseball card? Wouldn't one with his name on it be better to have?
