Noticed those two retracted/cancelled bids as well. Of course, I'm interested to see a) what it ends at and b) if the buyer actually pays.

I remember reading in this thread about how one multiple years back ended at $2,500+ and that got jaws to drop - this one...phew

Some people only shop by seller and apparently don't know how to use search feature lol. Some things can't be explained. You just gotta hope your in the right place at the right time. Before Vizquel and Gallaraga that was me with Thome. Had a guy buying $2 cards for $200

Someone said one of the retracted bidders has like 50 retractions. Apparently they don't know the cards value because they could have just kept the bids ANd not make it a tampered auction as it will hit around 10k

If anyone is bidding on this card, it is a fake. I own the real one. Someone took the card from an uncut sheet and stamped it. In addition, Probstein has been selling a lot of fakes from the 1998 MP set over the years. They all seem to use SGC.

I am also working on a project with the lead designer and manufacture at Fleer from 1989-2001 to help identify fakes. We have spent a lot of time on the MP cards in particular since so much fraud takes place in the three major sports. Take a look at the Jeter Protstein has listed and how quality the back stamping is (I am being sarcastic). I have spent a lot of time buying up fakes. In addition, Probstein has sold a lot of fakes in the past, particularly of this set. Same ones keep popping up.

That Jeter is awful and a card of this value, I would have high res images and show the stamped lettering..

Man. Appreciate the info you shared. Unfortunate for the bidders on eBay who either are unaware of this message board or who think they're bidding on a pack-pulled Masterpiece.

Holy crap. I thought the final value was a little low for this card.

Hey guys and gals,

It's been a long time, hope all are well. After much deliberation (and with great heartache), I announce I am selling off my Griffey collection. It's been a hell of a ride and one of the greatest passions of my life. Rather than list the big guns on eBay, I thought I would first reach out to the best group of Griffey collectors I know. Sorry the pics aren't great - I can send more if needed (also scans in my bucket).

These have been well cared for and are in great condition - added a few notes below.

Shoot me a PM if interested!
