Wow, those are some prices that dont look right!! I dont know him very well, but having talked to him on a few occasions, i did not get the impression that he was a "cheater". Could it be a new set collector who just wanted to get all the cards he could from the same seller at one shot? Either way, looks like johngm might have made some money.

Charlie- I saw those and was in shock. johngm must be one happy seller today :lol:

Mike- those Topps autos are incredible! I think it's safe to say Topps set collectors are the craziest of the crazy. No Musial auto from Ult Sig has ever come anywhere close to that, except maybe a cut. (I still think Ult Sig looks better though lol ;) )

John- I just think it's what you said. A few new guys are scooping up what they can since there is an overload once again froma clearout sale. So I guess we can expect to see these cards listed again in about, hm... 5 to 6 months once they realize they'll probably never put the sets together, AND they way overpaid?? :lol:

That's why the whole thing seems shady to me. The Sandberg/Dawson dual, there were 3 diff. guys bidding it that high,
two of them with a high number of bid retractions.

This was the blind purchase, remember? A tad bit of smudge on Clemens but, at least it's not faded. Maybe Clemens signing them and popping a PE_........never mind. :lol:

Yep, just happy too see it made it there safely. Man, you really should talk to them about that smudge. If I remember correctly, there was no scan in the auction, right? I don't remember there being a mention of a smudge either in the description. :? This is a definite "item not as described" situation. Still a beautiful card, but that stinks.

How much did the clemens/glavine and ripken/murray set you guys back? Great pickups. I haven't picked any more duals or ults up in a while. I just can't justify to myself some of the prices we're seeing.

I got both of mine through George, cost me 175 and 375. I'll let you guy share your prices if you want to. There's a Clem/Glav on ebay now, so we'll have a better gauge of value for that one when it ends.

Dude, these are ludicrous!!

[ebay:2uacjaze]220462835745[/ebay:2uacjaze] - $76.01
These usually go for anywhere from $25-30. I got mine for $19.

!B(1mobg!2k~$(KGrHgoH-EEEjlLlyg1NBKe(2KSR(!~~_12.jpg


[ebay:2uacjaze]220462825537[/ebay:2uacjaze] - $85.01
These usually get about $45, and Dawson's sig isn't that great on this one either.

!B(1j1M!!Wk~$(KGrHgoH-CwEjlLluz7qBKe(lFWWe!~~_12.jpg


42% bid activity, 6 retractions 4734 FB

29% bid activity, 7 retractions 2311 FB

And some other bidder with 92 FB. They are the only ones that bid them
this high, and I know none of them are Dawson or Williams collectors.

Chashawk,
That bidder, with 92 FB, won a bunch of cards (Ripken/Murray, Robinson/Griffey, Killebrew/Carew, Molitor/Yount, and that Williams/Dawson). A new kid on the Ultimate Sig bug! :lol: His ID is "lupax2005".
