Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

[tidel144]

It's unfortunate to see the way the 24-card Epix lots are being listed.

"1998 Pinnacle Epix Purple Bankruptcy Test Issue SET Griffey Jr Jeter (PWCC) Rare Purple Complete 24/24 Card Set" is inaccurate because 'Bankruptcy', 'Test Issue', 'Complete 24/24' card set are all misleading and incorrect words/phrases.


The title should actually read something like:

1998 Pinnacle Zenith Full Epix Set: full listing of all Purple Parallel Epix cards released in 1998 Zenith. Then rinse and repeat for the Orange and Emerald Parallels.

Beautiful card! I'll most likely never see one of A-Rod but that's okay. Glad a member on here found one of their PC player

Thanks. This Rolen card is one of my favorites. Great player and a great insert set from the 1990s. I just love it. Good luck in your quest for A-Rod.

I agree about the PWCC listing. If someone wins the lots, I’d be interested in the “Season” Ryno’s.

Holy Crap! They can have them. Still 8 days to go. The same Non Juan collector is winning these.

It’s funny that the same two top bidders for those Juan Gone auctions are the same for ALL the Jeter bankruptcy cards. They are also the same bidders for many other bankruptcy cards listed for other players. Hmmmmmmm.....

 

[bstanwood]

I think its the same bidder for the Biggio that is up, nowhere near that price though.

 

[Be8el0ve]

There was a green set listed but then taken down....?

Emerald set is still up. The question is, with all the bankruptcy cards that recently surfaced, does this set make the print run on the Emerald Moment cards 31?

Gents,

Suggest we all report the shill bidding that is quite obviously going on. Otherwise eBay is going to devolve into a useless extraction of every dollar from us collectors. I've reported the Griffey Rare Form. I have the PWCC cards already, so no skin in the game. We need to clean this up, get on it!

And oh, fun photos to encourage you all to take action

While I have my suspicions about this what proof is there? on a quick search it seems the same two users names are currently the high bidder on nearly all the current pwcc 98 select auctions but I'm not sure what that does for us, also where would one report this? If this is indeed shill bidding id love for it to be fixed because that's just crappy, I'm just unfamiliar with how we the people can try to rectify it.

 

[bigalbert]

So who has any real proof that these cards are being shilled?

That's my question, with the info we see on the item page how would we prove anything? It does seem that on the majority of these items once an initial bid or two is in the same two user IDs are bidding up to a certain level.and it's very consistent that e***e is always top and y***a is second, that seems very odd, if it was two people wouldn't it be a mix?? But that alone isn't what I would call proof. I just put in another bid on the Biggio, more than I want to spend to see if it jumps again...with those two bidders.

I do have to say. I’ve never seen the high bidder currently for the gwynn ever bid on a gwynn card. But the guy that got outbid for $243 does bid on gwynn. And 8 days left. Your right is weary. I mean if a new guy wants all the pinnacle test. I will
List my quasar’s. I have 2,3,4 but no 1. And ironically I’d buy the one. It is currently on eBay not with auction guy but $700 or best offer is out of my price range.

You would think buyers with that high of feed back would be sniping auctions.

Yes your right and my mistake it was the same code neither of those two ever on gwynn cards and I checked the other auctions. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. And I don’t like snipe buy you could t be more right.

I’m disgusted with the prices of the Piazza Rare Forms. I suspect but can’t prove something fishy...

 

[bstanwood]

What's the difference between these two cards?? That's a big price difference! Do the rare form cards have the same quasar star system and it's just not marked like the others??

Late October DallasCardShow listed bunch of Mirror Reds at auction then delisted cuz bidding was so low and reposted with high BIN. I can’t believe the market values have dramatically shifted where even the base pinnacle cards are commanding what PWCC’s auctions are at now.

$40 bucks shipping? The seller needs to pull their head out of ass. Or the person doing the listing is on medical marijuana and has had to much pizza to eat causing their acid reflux to go all the way to the brain.
