Nice patches! I wouldn't have any concerns over them either. They all look typical of the era/sets they're from

Don't take this wrong, as it is not directed at you personally, but the same can be said for any number of similar situations: I don't think ending an auction early is unethical, but it sounds like the primary reason you didn't is because you thought you would get more than the offer at auction, hoping that the crazy Vizquel bidding of late would allow you to cash in well above what most would consider a reasonable market value.

If there are bids already on a listing you might consider ending, you can always message the bidders, explain that you have a very strong & generous offer and w/o even tipping your hand, ask if they would like to place their own offers before you cancel the bids and end the listing. This still allows the bidders a fair shot and doesn't leave them feeling cheated that you ended it blindly and sold to someone else. I have been a bidder in that situation and it sucks. I have also offered on a few active listings, most of which were rejected by the seller and more often than not, I got the items anyway and much below my offer prices.

I think a lot of sellers, most of them in fact though, won't end early for fear of leaving money on the table. I am guessing it is not about ethics for most. There is nothing wrong with that either, but to see what happened to you, it would seem that "greed" bested you in this case.

Well, I f'ed up. Listed this with a 99¢ start, and a little while after listing, I got a message asking me to end and sell it for $85. I didn't, I'm not a fan of ending auctions once they've already had action on them, so I figured I'd let it run. Part of me figured it might have been one of the Vizquel guys trying to get a deal, and thought that maybe this had a chance of going much higher than that $85 offer.

It ended last night at $15.50. Oops. Sometimes doing the ethical thing makes you feel like you took it in the rear, raw.

A friend of mine picked up a 2004 Donruss Power Alley Die Cut Black 1/1 of Rafael Palmeiro. Just curious if anyone has an idea on value?

A few recent pickups. Got these from a reputable auction house so I don't have too much in the way of concerns...but man this lot had some killer patches. Would be interested in an opinion on "are they real?" from some of the game-used aficionado's on here. Thanks.

Awesome cards. The 2003 Fleer Patchworks National Patchtime Green Serial numbered to 100 are some of my favorites. The Juan Gonzalez one have dried up. I have not found one in 2 1/2 years. This is the last one I got.
