NORTY - Your leaving it to our imagination, the link doesn't work...jay

norty · April 6, 2004 5:04AM

I think it should now.

GOOD GOD!

mikeschmidt · April 6, 2004 5:14AM

<gulp>

glad the big boys have stayed away from 1955 Bowman (for now...)

Howitallbegan · April 6, 2004 5:16AM

Isnt the seller of this card the new owner of SGC

qualitycards · April 6, 2004 5:16AM

Someone had a link on this that I saw last night $7000 common It still has me shaking seeing it again. I just wish I was the guy selling it

Does anyone know if the person who outbid me is the former publisher of the Los Angeles Times or just the name is the same?

koby · April 6, 2004 5:51AM

nice card

CON40 · April 6, 2004 5:54AM

SHOCK & AWE!

Mr. Renaud, that is one hell of a set of brass ones you got! Amazing that it was topped!

Tipem · April 6, 2004 5:55AM

I am working on the 53 Bowman Color set and have been watching this card.WAY out of my league,though.Chris must be needing an upgrade as he had a thread last week proclaiming his completion of this set.His head must be spinning as I am sure that when he put a bid of 7 grand in,he undoubtly must have thought it was a slam dunk.I wonder how bad he wants this upgrade ??

<< <i>I wonder how bad he wants this upgrade ?? Vic >>

not badly enough

Tipem · April 6, 2004 6:10AM

PC,

Fess up !!!!!

You know something that you want to share with the whole class ????

Vic

pc · April 6, 2004 6:13AM

i know he was smart enough to wait for the next one.

murcerfan · April 6, 2004 6:41AM

I wonder if the seller will reconsider his recent grading company alignment

qualitycards · April 6, 2004 6:49AM

MURCERFAN - I guess this is why Dave Foreman is a fan of cards being graded...jay

calleocho · April 6, 2004 7:42AM

Jebus!

how low is the pop on this card?

also did you guys check out the 3rd bidder?

norty · April 6, 2004 7:50AM

As of today, 10 8's w/ none higher.

calleocho · April 6, 2004 7:51AM

how much does a 7 usually go for?

Coucher73 · April 6, 2004 8:45AM

Not trying to stir up trouble here, but does that holder looked absolutely thrashed just below the label to anyone else?

theBobs · April 6, 2004 10:01AM

That seller needs to buy Chris dinner or something

SDSportsFan · April 6, 2004 11:14AM

Not trying to stir up trouble here, but does that holder looked absolutely thrashed just below the label to anyone else?

Actually, the holder looks fine to me. That stuff below the label appears to be the mylar insert PSA put the card in before putting it in the slab. '53 Bowman's are slightly narrower than '52 - '56 Topps, so PSA probably feels that the mylar insert is a good idea.

Bingo !

On a side note, is Tokyo Girl generally a big player in 1953 Bowman Color auctions ?

mikeschmidt · April 6, 2004 11:30AM

Anyone think that the 3rd bidder is a hijacked account / shill bidder....?

Just curious what others makes of this bidding pattern. Huge number of transactions - but no completed deals over the past 9 months...

Bearsnum34 · April 6, 2004 11:36AM

i give up, when a card like that can go for 7100.00 i need to get into another hobby, maybe ill trade my vintage set for 2001 topps...wow, unreal!!!!

calleocho · April 6, 2004 12:41PM

i noticed the same exact thing Marc.

The 3rd bidder its just odd.

Virtualizard · April 6, 2004 12:58PM

tokyogirl sure looks like a shill bidder for the ebay seller dfco.

hey, i kind of like this no caps thing!

jeb.

wolfbear · April 6, 2004 1:07PM

jeb - the seller, dfco, is the new owner of SGC.
I doubt that he would be using shills to run up his auction prices.

Virtualizard · April 6, 2004 1:12PM

wolf

must be a coincidence then that tokyogirl only bids on that sellers high priced auctions over the past month and never wins any

just a thought

jeb

Vargha · April 6, 2004 1:58PM

JEB (or is it "jeb"?) . . . I'm sure it's just a bizarre coincidence.

CON40 · April 6, 2004 2:20PM

Something is rotten in Tokyo...

Basilone · April 6, 2004 3:03PM

From "her" my eBay page....

<< <i>Need some SAKURA and NIPPONIA ? >>

Is that Japanes for T & A ?

wolfbear · April 6, 2004 6:41PM

Gotta agree with the SGC and GAI crowd on this one.

As long as I have a grading company pres that will smooze me,
I really don't give a crap about the resale value of my collection ...

Vargha · April 6, 2004 9:44PM

Gotta agree with wolfbear on this one as well.

As long as I have a grading company prez that will smooze me,
I really don't give a crap about the resale value of his collection either.

packCollector · April 6, 2004 10:44PM

as sad as it may seem, I have to agree this is a shill bidder. although tokyogirl has 5000+ feedbacks, there are only 5 feedbacks from sellers. 2 for cigars (mydiscountcigars) , 1 for what can be presumed as a cigar humidor , and 2 from sellers of books for less than $10. now this person has a liking for high grade sportscards only from dfco. also, this cigar smoking person with no ebay sportscard experience realizes the value of low pop commons for $1000's of dollars only from dfco. does look like sushi to me.

WinPitcher · April 6, 2004 11:19PM

I am sure this will make its way across the street, if it hasn't already

koby · April 7, 2004 12:46AM

Tokyogirl is a shill

Basilone · April 7, 2004 6:28AM

<< <i>there are only 5 feedbacks from sellers. 2 for cigars (mydiscountcigars) , 1 for what can be presumed as a cigar humidor , and 2 from sellers of books for less than $10. >>

Tokyogirl = Monica Lewinsky

Mantlefan · April 7, 2004 7:49AM

I spoke to Whitey Lockman today. He says for $7000 he'll come to your house and sit in a plastic case!
