Set a high snipe because I felt like gambling and someone had a higher snipe than I did!!
'72-'73 Baseball Lot
On the plus side, I did win the '72-'73 Football lot the same seller had on consignment. Maybe I'll find some hidden treasures. I didn't even think anything about this one and had a low snipe set. I didn't think it had a chance.

<< <i>Are those rubber bands on some of the bricks of cards? >>
yes, some of them will definitely be affected but the majority look EX/MT-NM+.
Seems like you got a nice deal on the football cards. I don't know the current values but that seems very cheap for that many cards from this era. Good luck on those.
Thanks,

<< <i>Nice job on the football pickup. Wasn't that a high price for the baseball lot? Let us know how you do. I'd like to see some scans. It looks like you might have a few in the football lot for barfvader. >>
yeah, I wanted to get the baseball lot for around $800-$900 but I put in a higher snipe because I really wanted to go through all of those '72's and '73's. Kind of like going through 5 vending boxes and not knowing what cards were gonna be there. Apparently someone else had the same plan. The seller is a consignment seller and possibly had no idea as to what was in the lot judging by their feedback. It was a gamble, but I've bought lots like that before off of sellers who really didn't know what cards were in the lot and did really well. I had visions of 7 or 8 NM Schmidt Rookies and a gaggle of '72 Fisk's, etc...
Now I have visions of Staubach and Stabler Rookies. I know there is at least one Jack Ham rookie, lol.
<< <i>I couldn't believe how high that snipe was. I was in 3rd place with the $780 snipe and thought I was golden! I guess that when a lot reaches 40 bids there's no way it's going to be a bargain. >>
For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone (other than a person NEW to Ebay) would bid any other way than sniping. It makes no sense. 40 bids is stupidity (or shilling)
Also, by placing some minimum bids it keeps antsy sellers from shutting an auction down
early because of cold feet or by selling to someone that emails them. It all depends on the item. If I see
something I want and it has no bids I may bid early, if I see the same item and it
already has bids I'll wait and see what happens. Sniping is simply one strategy among many.
I have actually won a few that way and my snipe never had to kick in.

I put in an early bid to secure some eBates love in case I win with my snipe.
If there's a complete 72 set in there then it might be worth it.
But without seeing more Ryan's etc and without knowing if there's a Schmidt rookie, can't see the logic in paying that much

IMO not even close

lol, I hope so since I didn't win.
