Unfortunately, no.

I think all big sellers make listing blunders from time to time; you left $150 on the table not adding the name "Frank Thomas" to the title or description of that 1997 Bowman's Best Mirror Image Inverted Atomic Refractor you sold a few weeks back. I don't think you were stupid, you were just working within the limitations of the then short title allowance and then probably forgot to put a real description in the listing because you list so many items.
Anyway, big sellers list quickly; listing quickly leads to less than optimal blunders at times.

I think it's funny that you are questioning a known Frank Thomas collector on the value of a super rare Frank Thomas card.

No real way of knowing but lets just agree that you left a BUNCH of cash on the table with the Thomas/Bagwell.

The point is, I know several guys with deep pockets still on the hunt for that card. I already own a copy and would have thrown at least a $100 bid at it.
Yes, it said "Thomas" and "Bagwell." There are 10s of thousands of cards with guys who have the name Thomas, first or last. I rarely search for just "Thomas."
Get defensive all you want, but you left more than a bill on the table.

FYI, I sold this yesterday...and Chipper isn't as widely collected as Thomas.

buy it now, you found an idiot.
anyway, it wasnt my card, and certain guys i sell for
give me the titles they want, i have no real say
or opinion. ive seen the atomic get as little as 5 bucks,
so almost 200 seems odd. and anyone looking for that card
who doesnt use 1997 atomic in the title isnt searching right anyway.
and if they do and dont click on thomas bagwell, well, dumb.
at least know with 80 characters all the info can be put in.

If that's really your mentality, you will continue to leave money on the table as you aren't appealing to the casual buyer; only those who are actively searching for one particular card/set...therefore, those searching for a deal.
I would have been a casual buyer in this case.
Listen, you're an honest seller, I've purchased from you before, and I'm sure I will again. However, there is little reason to try to defend that listing as being "smart," and bash another seller for being "dumb." I'm sure you've seen an inverted atomic refractor of Thomas sell for $5 before; if you are remembering correctly, it was either not on eBay, not in the last 10 years, or had just as poor of a listing as the last to sell.
It's amazing that the copy that sold just 3 weeks before your consignment went for $180+.

I have bought of them as well. I have gotten some cards in the range I expected to pay for them.Cancellierecards said:
So I guess I need to see if I have anything rare of his to sell, but I doubt it since he is a Yankee and I don't collect anything of theirs. :lol:
Wow, I would guess that's over a $250 card right there. My semi uneducated guess...
We have a Mo collector here on the baords. I would be curious what he thinks it worth or would be willing to pay for that card. I think the silver auto really pops on that black background.

I definitely know a guy who would drop 2 bills on that card in a heartbeat, probably two and a quarter, I would have liked to see that card put at $299 with best offer or something like that. He definitely left money on the table

Would have loved to add that one to my 2005 Finest auto set. I search for 2005 finest pretty often and was unlucky to miss that one. I'd say that $250 or so is about what that card would get.

not sure how an established card business would make such a huge blunder.
also, to chime in on the 1997 best inverted atomic. as a bagwell collector, i sold mine at bin for 100 a couple years ago, within minutes. i saw the one the op put up but didnt bother sniping as i figured the thomas collectors were on it...big mistake. the previous one sold for 179.49, so you mightve lost more than the mariano.
