MY COMPUTER HATES ME! Why did this go so cheap??

MallCopKJ · Jul 8, 2009

Has your computer ever mysteriously stopped working when going to enter a bid on Ebay?? I tried desperately to get a bid in on this card with about a minute left but the page wouldnt reload (I had been reloading it fine for 5 straight minutes no problem) and when it finally did, the auction was over. Why did this go so low???

The Williams signature is questionable.
In my readings of the authenticity of WIlliams' signatures, one telltale sign of a counterfeit is the open top of the "a" in his last name.
Williams apparently always closed the "a" in Williams with a complete loop.
So the signature, which is vintage, is possibly a secretarial signature.

And Camilli is not a Hall of Famer as the ebay seller states.

Also, Camilli's autographs are not rare and are very cheap.
There are many for sale in eBay sellers' stores, some with Buy it Nows under ten bucks.
So having Camilli share a card with Williams certainly hurts the value.

The guy ended it in the early afternoon two days before the 4th of July. Not the best idea ever.

probably would have gone for less without the 2nd auto DOLPH CAMILLI

Very good points guys. I didn't consider his ending time in the price or the fact that Camilli isn't a HOF as stated in the auction.

i have never understood cuts sigs and their value, especially for players who signed well into their later years. here is my teddy, i paid $200 dlvd. i'd much rather have 3 of these for the price instead of an artificially scarce cut.

Cut that up and put it in a card as a cut and you've tripled your money. That is the only reason that people like them, the dollar value.

the perez's are cool, but not much for oversized cards...although i do have a couple. I know i would much rather have a cut or a custom than a 3x5 card, envelope, sig inside book, check, or many other items though.
but it's cool...different strokes for different folks...
