I'm so angry right now. Seller listed the last Bowman card I needed to have every non 1/1 Bowman brand card made of Mark Grace, a card I've looked for for ages, last night. $.99 starting bid. I emailed right away and asked if there was a price they would sell it for to me. I got no response. Then I just checked eBay and they changed the auction to a BIN of $28 and someone hit it right away. But seller never emailed me back or let me know they were changing it. I would have paid $70 for it. Damn I wanted that card. If anyone knows the buyer, LMK... I've emailed seller asking for buyer's info, so trying that route.

Hi George, and thanks for the tease right now, budget is tight, yet another reason to expect the Codebreaker set anxiously :|

Any timeline?

Bummer. Good luck trying to track it down.

That's really unfortunate Brad. Hopefully it works out for you somehow.

Awesome!

Thanks guys. I can use that hug. But I'll survive - I'm patient and sooner or later one will hit eBay again. May take a few years.

Just had a bad string of luck lately. Been second runner-up on some nice cards I would have liked. Both went more than I expected. And I can't go crazy on spending these days. This one hurt because it was so affordable and was my #2 PC most wanted card.

Didn't win (1/1, sold for $117.50)

Didn't win (1962 Bazooka - very SP - last vintage Zim I need - sold for $123.01)

It's not all gloom though, I was happy to snag this yesterday!

 

[poppudaimadochi]

Awesome!

That's what they said 2 months ago, too

Good morning.. I noticed that my company got a bunch of airtime yesterday...

Good morning!

Running a bit late, listed over 30 items Sunday evening. Then I started drinking some brandy and water. Not good today. My ebay inbox is loaded up, lots of offers and a few sales. Javier Baez is blowing up.

Thought of that immediately Kevin. He has had Boeing As a sponsor for a while now. I liked that vest!

Probably leases a 737

 

[Pinbreaker]

I looked it up and he just signed on in June..

When I asked my boss about it.. He said that since we have a plant in South Carolina and they half sponsor a tournament there, they signed him on for worlwide recognition..

I doubt he is leasing a BBJ.. They tried to have Greg Norman be the spokesman when they first presented the BBJ as a 737 choice..

Greg Norman was also an early customer for the Boeing Business Jet, which he had ordered with custom fitted bedroom and office. However, the downturn in the Asian markets adversely affected his golf course design business, and he later cancelled the order after acting as an ambassador for Boeing. He eventually retained his Gulfstream V.

Ugh. Internet is down in the area. Stupid Comcast.
