Alright, I figure it might be one of the guys here. Who bought the Dutch Clark autographed Chicle a few minutes ago? My bid got more than doubled, LOL.

I was the underbider at 999.99. Wow - I can't believe the price that it sold for.

Gregm,

You lost by $10. I take it you put in some kind of snipe. If you put in a bid at $999.99 and were willing to pay that why the surprise?

Were you expecting it to go for like say $700 and you put in a much higher bid as an insurance policy?

Not being smart just asking.

thenavarro · January 6, 2011 10:14AM

The real question is does the winner have the cajones to soak the paste off??

That was my initial thought when I looked at it that it would be a good candidate for that, but of course, if I had the card in hand, I might have determined that wasn't the best course.

Davemri · January 6, 2011 10:20AM

My snipe didnt register as well. I would definatly not attempt the soaking. Might take the ink off, or fade it really bad. That thing will look sweet in a authentic holder.

You're exactly right - I expected the final hammer to be between $500 and $750...and figured that I had $250 of head room. I'll have to catch the next one (assuming another exists).

With the 3rd highest bid at $458.00, Greg caused the winner to pay another $550.00 for the card. Greg, the seller should give YOU some $ for that! LOL

Davemri · January 6, 2011 10:47AM

I had a snipe set at $700 but it didn't register. It was placed after the 2 higher bids, thus, not registering.

Dpeck100 · January 6, 2011 10:49AM

Yes he caused the winner to pay more but remember rare collectables only need two buyers.

If he entered a bid at $999.99 he was willing to take delivery at that price.

Really sweet items never go cheap becuase of the fear of not finding another.

If I wouldn't have just dropped $700 on a signed Paul Brown rc, he would have paid a lot more than $1009 for the Dutch Clark

I dont even collect the autographs, but that is the first signed chicle I have ever seen. May be the last also.

Dpeck100 · January 6, 2011 10:59AM

Greg your comments are why I think it is so funny how people look at the bidding run and think they can somehow determine if you did not bid what the price would go for.

You simply can not judge the value or final selling price that way. If you had not won the other card mentioned you might have gone as high as $1700 but your $999.99 bid will never tell that story.

If this was a common item perhaps you could do that but on items that are very desired the final selling price is all that matters.

gregm13 · January 6, 2011 11:00AM

<< I dont even collect the autographs, but that is the first signed chicle I have ever seen. May be the last also. >>

Agreed. I sent a 35 Chicle to Ralph Kercheval last year but never received it back....and he died 8 months later...so I'm not sure what happened to it.

I completely agree with you, but there is a limit to what I can spend. If I could, I would have paid $2k for that card, but my limit was $1k and I'll have to live with not winning it.

greg,

its not 100,000 only 50,000 cards, around 300 tickets!!!

so now you start showing restraint in your bidding. thanks for waiting until now.

cant wait for our next show down with some new cuts for the HOF Auto set....if they ever bring out any new ones. maybe that stash of hewitt checks will find their way into some nice cut cards.

Dpeck100 · January 6, 2011 12:39PM

Serious question here,

You have 50,000 Bret Favre cards???

If so that is a ton!!! Good for you for taking the bull by the horns!!

Reese3333 · January 6, 2011 12:48PM

Holy smokes! I can't believe I missed this auction! I'm slacking

leathtech · January 6, 2011 10:13PM

Can someone post a pic I'd like to see the card... Can't search ebay at work.

I just looked at the listing - is there any guarantee that the autograph is legit? No mention of any CoA.

gregm13 · January 7, 2011 3:40AM

The PSA/DNA quick opinion that I purchased came back as "Likely Genuine".

I forgot about that feature! Very nice.

weinhold · January 7, 2011 7:41AM

Besides being a rare signed 1935 National Chicle football card, I wonder how many have contemplated the significance of this particular card autographed. Most know Dutch Clark is a Hall Of Famer, sure.

Also consider that this card is numbered #1 in the set. Consequently, it is the first card of the first nationally distributed set of professional football cards, and it's autographed. Mega-cool, and perhaps one-of-a-kind.

Congratulations to the buyer.

Reese3333 · January 7, 2011 9:35AM

Just out of curiousity, what would a Dutch Clark RC unsigned in this condition typically sell for?

So who bought the Dutch Clark autographed Chicle?
