So he is a middle of the road seller. Team pushed sells most likely, has some promise with his speed. So you were dissapointed when you pulled him, but not that disappointed.

Then last night's kick return:

The first ones you posted were the base autopatch that are #'d higher. The higher selling ones are /75

flavor of the week/victim of the moment collectors man.. Insane.. Kentucky fans though were hoping a kid from the program would make a splash.

But did those fans that started collecting jump at the chance to list their stashes last night?

This is one of the reasons I love collecting Football cards!

Never be disappointed when you pull a Packer rookie.

No matter the numbering. Still ridiculous for a 1st game of the season kickoff return. Sorry, people that paid that much are retarded!

 

[morgoth]

When averages 4 to 5 returns a game and maybe 1 reception people might start thinking they did a bad thing.

 

[Willywanker]

Holy crap that is insane. Bunch of freaking idiots..

 

[t3dudek]

bet many of those buyers dont pay soon as they see what the prices go for in a day or 2. That is the horrible part about ebay you dont need to pay immediately.

Fortunately I got my 264/310 one the day before the game for $17+
