Not sure what your point is. A low-numbered, highly-sought-after Jeter card was auctioned off for $157. What's so insane? It's Jeter, not AJ Hinch.
Methinks someone is bothered that his tried and true middle-school bidding technique of six sequential bids pushing the bidding from $20.00 to $48.00 in eighteen seconds, followed by a $15.00 jump to $63.00 the next day, was not successful.
That $63.00 bid was then beaten by nine different bidders. This also shattered his oft mentioned theory (stated as fact) that the high bids for diffractors were solely the result of my bidding and that of a bidder he misidentifies as "the Colorado guy". I did not bid on this card at all. I have my own copy of that Jeter diffractor. Congrats to the high bidder (whom I won't identify for the stalker) on getting a very nice card.

Got my 10th different Buhner
Needed this for my set - overpaid a bit because of the cool pattern and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for this project
And this guy just haaaad to rub it in
I think back when I started this thread that I really did get a handful of Diffractors, including Buhner, for under $5 each via ebay auctions. That was the end of the glory days. Really it was just four years ago but seems like an eternity now with the price explosion.
Nice Hidalgo Diffractor pattern # 27. Especially for $ 2.00.. Well done.. Now I know there are 4 of them as I have one and that RR guy has 2 of pattern # 27 from a list he sent me.
Congrats on the 10th Buhner as well. I have four Buhner diffractors (patterns 42,45,64,86 but no dupes) in 90 card completed (1) and partial (3) sets I have going that I make an occasional dent of one in if I find one cheap.

Still stuck at 4 Brady Andersons to go. 39,54,62, and 83.
Is anyone else fully amused at the above post besides me ?

The only diffractors I notice are Belles, and the last 4 I've seen on eBay have gone for 40, 40 (BINs) and ~ 50, 50 (one auction, one BIN). Considering how much more Jeter cards sell for, $157 doesn't seem all that bad.
