Appraised at over $7,000,000 you have to wonder what the reserve was........ebay.com/Rare-Historic-52-piece-20-Gold-Saint-Gaudens-PCGS-Registry-Set
Interesting locations of CAC and PQ stickers. Looks like CAC and PQ both use 2 different locations. The 1907 CAC-PQ is interesting because I'm guessing there's yet another sticker in the primary CAC location.
A very interesting auction...I enjoyed watching it from the Peanut Gallery...

It seems like the 1907 only had 2 stickers both both companies chose not to sticker over the word EDGE on the right of the slab.
Here's the TrueView of the same coin:
That's kind of a "grainy" part of the slab too...Anyhow...great entertainment and coin fun.

That is certainly a very impressive collection of gold coins...surprised it would be put on ebay and not through Legend or a major auction house...Cheers, RickO
I have asked here on the forum what was the driving force for the placement of CAC stickers; either left or right side...I don't believe that I got an answer.

When it's on the left it's because being on the right would cover up something like a variety or pedigree, etc which takes up the space the sticker would normally go
Am I the only one who wonders why a group like this would be on the eBAY venue?
Does eBay negotiate commissions for large deals?
eBay rates for large operations are different and, therefore, likely negotiable.
Even without negotiation, however, eBay fees are lower than the base auction house. You have a MAXIMUM 13% seller's premium (10% eBay + 3% PayPal) with 0% buyer's premium. With a store and a requirement of wire transfer payment, your fees are 5.6%. Nobody matches that. Even if Heritage or Stacks gives you 110% of hammer, you are still looking at 10% in premiums. You'd have to get 115% of hammer at Heritage or Stacks to be comparable to base eBay fees. If eBay cut them a deal (they do for bullion dealers) below the normal 5.6%, it would be cheaper on eBay.
Of course, you have to also consider advertising and exposure that you would get from Heritage or Stack's at a major show.
I was holding out for a 10% offer with no quarterly limit
