I also say run, but let the offer sit there 'til it has a few hours before it expires. Maybe you'll get a better offer.

I don't know too much about these cards but consider the offer until it gets close to expiring. Then decide, you might get a better offer until that time

This is what I typically do, I just wandered what my friends at FCB thought.

I just paid a little over $15 for a Gwynn, but it was the last one I needed. I don't know how Maddux sells compared to Gwynn, But I would think there are player collectors that would pay a little more. Are there any watchers, yet?

Card like that, probably would have just auctioned it off. You know it'll get up to a normal sell price, plus at regular auction the FVF is much less.

I really preferring setting my price and taking offers.

To equal the same after-fee price, the same card would have to end at $14.60.

It is worth the extra 40 cents to me to have control over the price.

I guess, thought it was more of a difference.

Not sure how Maddux stacks up to Bags but I'd never pay close to that for that card.I probably wouldn't pay $9 either so you might want to go ahead and just take the offer.The guy who is watching may just be watching your for insurance purposes.Its something I do when I see a card up for auction and the same card up with a BIN at the same time.If I can't win the auction for the BIN price I immediately hit the BIN after the auction is over.

Yeah, it's like the aesop fable about the old dog and his bone.

I am going to ride the offer out and see what happens, then probably take it.

It will give me time to get some more stuff listed, so he hopefully buys more to save on shipping.

We're talking about a $9 Pinnacle card here?

Take the $9 and go grab a beer or two and save your thinking cap for something a bit more important.

But then again, if this is worth you seeking out advice over $9, then I'm jealous of you. I wish all I had to worry about was whether I could get more than $9 for a $15 card:)

JK Man. You're comment made me laugh!

I know it's not that big of a deal, just asking some opinions!
