Don't waste your time and fees listing on ebay before getting in touch me by PM or at gregmo32@aol.com !
ETA: Thanks for the PMs reminding me who the seller is, but I don't need any more
scarily enough, i'm with you
Looking to BUY n332 1889 SF Hess cards and high grade cards from 19th century especially. "Once you have wrestled everything else in life is easy" Dan Gable
<< <i>How'd they get away with putting their phone number in the listing? Feel free to text = I'm willing to work with you off eBay >>
well, they WOULD earn $100 in ebay bucks, so why would they want to do it off the bay?
<< <i>That is an awesome card. It is so extremely difficult to have gem mint grades on items that are larger than standard size. The cards that are larger seem to be much more susceptible to damage. >>
It's definitely not the case where it just "fits the criteria for a 10", it passes with flying colors.
<< <i>How'd they get away with putting their phone number in the listing? Feel free to text = I'm willing to work with you off eBay >>
No kidding!! I've found other ways to achieve that, but never thought of just blatantly putting my phone number in the listing. I'll have to give that a try
<< <i>I am willing to make a friendly wager with anyone, that if this card stays at a population of one, that it will be an $800,000 card within five years. >>
That seller is handsome.

<< <i>It's not certified High End, so I'm gonna walk on by. >>
Calibur matters.
Clemente RC in psa 8 form 6K to 25K in one year.
For me that price is unobtainable but for a number of investors that is nothing.
Price...didn't ebay just announce a cap on a special promotion for FVF ?????
1948-76 Topps FB Sets
FB & BB HOF Player sets

I believe the seller is a board member here.
EDIT: Removed info about eBay seller.

<< <i>I don't think it is proper to put that information out there...... many here know who it is and I'd just leave it at that. I don't think the rest of the world needs to know. >>
I've seen many other eBay IDs (especially of celebrities or big name collectors) discussed openly on this forum. Any reason he should get special treatment?

<< <i>Telling an ebay ID is not that big of deal here but since there is a phone number attached to the listing I feel like you are outing him unnecessarily. Just my opinion for what it is worth (nothing). >>
I suppose I've seen him discuss elements of his celebrity in threads before, and he's the one who included the phone number in his listing after all.
He also quoted my comment, which included the info you mention, so I guess that means he's fine with it right?

But how did you know before your comment was quoted by him that it was fine putting it out there to the cyber universe?
In his listing he did not reveal who he is......although I don't think saying that "My name is Evan" is going to to get someone to bid, that only works for Dmitri Young! LOL Dmitri gets the premium prices.... Dmitri is certified high end while another adjective works better for Evan.

You should delete. He is probably fine with it but it's not up to you to make that decision.

My first thought was, "That was kind of a douchebag move. Why did he have to use his alt account." But I've learned to not always say the first thing that comes to my mind.

<< <i>Assuming the card is as nice in person as in the scans, I could see it becoming a $100K card. I don't see the pop on this one increasing and there are a ton of Lakers fans in LA with big bucks. I'll be surprised if it doesn't sell in a week or two.
No one searches for "1969 Jabbar PSA 10" on ebay that often. All it needs is a little publicity. >>
100k???
Are you living in 2008????
I suggest everyone who quoted my post do the same.
As for the card I think it will sell at $250,000.
<< <i>Based on what some 1980's PSA 10's going for, I think this card could do it if it remains a pop 1.
I think a 1979 OPC Gretzky PSA 10 went for $95K in 2011 and I think it was a pop 1. That is the closest comparison I have. >>
You can't own this card for 100k. There might be a little wiggle room from the asking price but under no circumstances that much.
Needless to say that is one helluva card!

Oh how I wish I could buy cards at 2011 prices. Do you think we'll say the same thing in 2019 about 2015?

If interests rates continue to stay low and the popularity in this hobby stays high then yes.
i hope you hit that dollar amount...although that raises what ill have to pay for a psa 8 or 9.....sweet card and worth it...id buy it as an investment but decided to buy a guest house instead....
that'll easily hit 500k and then more so...buy it while you can...cant find a think wrong with that..pleasure just looking at it
<< <i>It is well within eBay rules to post phone #s in listings.
That card is sick. The back is flawless too. Amazing!!! >>
For phone numbers actually it's not, call eBay and ask.
And yes the card is sick. I think the seller would be wise to remove their phone number before eBay does for them.

You are incorrect. I called eBay and have it in writing too!
Numerous sellers list phone #s. Wonder why? Because it's acceptable! >>
Well then perhaps eBay just gives inconsistent responses then. Seller is at risk listing their phone number IMO. I hope it works out for them.
<< <i>''Here is the information you requested regarding your seller contact information. This is directly from our policy information,

Then the seller should probably say "For more info call or text ..."
As it currently reads eBay sees this as trying to do a sale outside of eBay to avoid fees.
Call and ask about this specific listing and see what they say.
<< <i>gregf...take a break! We have no clue what the seller is thinking, insinuating or expecting. Even if he was able to make a deal off eBay, good for him. That is his business not ours. >>
Actually I'm trying to protect the seller from getting in trouble. Of course they can do whatever they want and I hope everything goes well for them. I'm just trying to share information to help inform.
<< <i>gregf, you've had this member ID for a year and a half but most, if not all, of your posts have been this month. Kinda strange. What are your other user names on here? >>
Ignored.
<< <i>That is noble of you (I think) but anyone selling a $350k OBO card should be able to manage their affairs without too much trouble, assistance (i.e. armchair quarterbacking) or concern.
However, since we have established the seller did NOTHING wrong and in compliance with eBay's terms of service, let's drop the crusade and let the big time card enthusiast do his thing. >>
Well that's simply not true. Listing one's phone number to get around eBay fees is not allowed. I spoke with an eBay rep and gave them this listing and they told me that the listing was against eBay policy and told me not to buy from that seller.
So if you call eBay and give them the item number and hear a different story then clearly eBay is sending mixed messages. But part of posting here is to inform and share information and experiences. That's what I'm doing and I hope it's helpful.

Why on Earth would you call Ebay on a fellow CU member?
To simply prove a point?
Wow, is all I can say...

You couldn't just use a hypothetical?
