This could be a never ending thread of craziness (or goodness) that people see/find online, but I just had to share 3 that I came across today that shocked me for various reasons, enough so that I had to share with someone who might see things in the same light as me.
1). Greg Morris has a loyal following, and this card does look sharp, but damn...$132.50 for a raw 72T Garvey!
2). I saw this and watched it, thinking I might go back and bid on it to cut out the leather signature portion to make a custom card or a display piece in flat form. I actually expected no bids, debating whether or not I'd want it for $4, because frankly eBay is filled with Steve Garvey gloves of better condition that never seem to sell. I have tried to sell a few myself and never do well. This one doesn't even have the webbing. I went back to place a bid and saw it at $7 plus s/h. I have tried to sell functional gloves for less and failed! Someone is hot to trot for it. Can you even replace that part of a glove if it is missing?
3). This is an often discussed topic, but I just have to ask once more, rhetorically mostly. Since this one is just an ask price and not a sale, it is almost meaningless to discuss it, but who is going to pay $60 (down from $150!) or offer anything close to it for card like this? Maybe a set builder will? Maybe there is a Fulmer super fan that must have it, but I think despite the popularity of the issue, the player had a nothing career (I went back and looked after typing this and he actually did have one pretty decent season, in 2000) and the card probably isn't worth more than a buck or two to most buyers. I guess it can't hurt to try, but it does get old looking at the same old over priced listings that pop up in searches weeks, months and years later. because someone is looking for that 1 in a million buyer.
