could be someone going for all 50??? I don't know. Just seems so high for a card w/o an auto and /50.

Thought I could snag this for around $40 shipped. Being # 1 of 5 probably made it more popular. I own # 20/25 of a the same card which is the jersey # for Dawkins, Barber, and Reed. This one is the platinum version #d to 5 though.

This card is 17 years old, yet it's listed as the "first on eBay". Gotta love it....

There are A few Lofton fans out there that pay out the back side for his cards.

Oh yea I know, I may be one of those guys, haha. I got a counter on it of $150 which was $50 more than I was willing to pay.

Wow, that is crazy for a blue refractor. Trout price's are getting insane.

 

[JoshHamilton]

The only reason I want it is because I have every other Trout blue refractor with all 9.5 subs or better. This one ALWAYS has 9 centering or edges.

Can anyone do some detective work and figure out if its shilled? I'm not sure if I'm going to bid again

I did get this as a consolation prize

That's one of those , it just takes 2 scenarios... One guy doesn't bid and it ends for $1.50 probably

Yea, this is for sure. I feel like that's pretty normal for Belle cards. I look at all the auctions I win and usually I think "If it wasn't for the bidder below me, I would of got this at more than 50% off"

Is there really 500 of that card? Amazing what we do/pay for PC items....

Yes but they're tough for a non sports card guy to see or whatever. Either way, this is a couple dollar card on a good day. This is like 10x value.

This really surprised me. I've never paid this much for a Webb card, even in his prime days. I threw what I thought was an insane bid out thinking it wouldn't be a problem, and I was really surprised to see I'd lost this when I got back from vacation yesterday. I'd love to know why another buyer was willing to pay this much.

Wow. Do you have any other letters from the set? Maybe a 2nd chance offer is coming your way lol

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Some of these you have to go into original listing and click the print button to see what the best offer was but def some strong sales. A few are probably instances when they raise their middle to those who complain about their high listing prices and they say, yup, I just sold that for that price . Also surprised at how much Bristol is/was getting on their unnumbered 1/1's
