Can anyone explain this ebay sale?

Besides just saying TRIAPD.

Sale looks legit.

    What other explanation can there be? It's low pop, folks is crazy.

    Only 2 bidders bidding past the $275 mark. The winning bidder kept upping his bid at the end as he had the last 4 bids so no telling what he was willing to pay. The last one sold for $9.99 in June of 2013.

    Classic bidding war between two bidders~that said, I now have to look through all my rack pack fresh commons to find mint Mike Phillips cards, LOL..

    Is that "the registry is a powerful drug"? That's an acronym, now?? Haha image (can't believe I figured it out, if that's it...)

    Only 3 past the $30 mark.

    Anyone wanna bet on at least one of the bidders being the consignor or someone familiar with the consignor?

    I don't know but the possibility is the reason I never bid on anything these consignors sell.

    I would never bid that much on a common modern card with that kind of reverse centering.

    That would explain how difficult finding one in mint condition would be, but $500 difficult? LOL..

    Maybe they thought they were bidding on a Michael Phelps pre-birth rookie card?

    Registry-whipped: a condition in which the collector feels compelled to purchase a card, in order to satisfy the registry gods.

    I just checked my 1979 Topps box and all four that I have are a little off center. But a couple don't look bad. I think I'd pass on the 1979 Mike Phillips in PSA9 and maybe get a 60s era Mantle in a PSA7 instead.
