It's the Fleer GRTS version, very rare and BV is that high....The Fleer Greats auto however, has a BV of $20.

Woah woah woah.

Who peed in your cheerios this morning?

I didn't tell the guy he COULDN'T do something. I just asked what narcotic he is actively partaking of in order to come up with his values. If you cared so little... why bother with a reply? The "Back" button is just as easy to hit.

I am fine, I just think people get caught up in others auctions too much. If you are a legit buyer for this card I can maybe see. However, if this idiot ebayer wants to waste seller fees. Let him do what he wants...

Sorry. Thought this was a board dedicated to discussions big or small related to the hobby... I'll stick to posting only about items I am currently involved with on a personal level.

*You guys are clearing missing the point. He says RETAIL book value - ie, what this thing sells for at Wal-Mart! It's so rare no Wal-Mart in America carries one.*

My likely failed attempt at sarcasm.

It is "his auction", but he is misleading possible buyers by lying about the book value.

I see a lot of buyers doing it... I guess it's used to instill a sense of ACTUAL VALUE when the buyer doesn't know any better. I don't think it's shady.. I just think he's throwing out some bait hoping for a snag.

Thats the part that I was going to mention. Why would you raise the starting price if you had a ton of viewers, lol.

That guy is freaking crazy, he had some Griffey autographs while back and he listed and re-listed the same card no less than 5 times in two weeks, always changing the prices. He'd start out around 350 then go down to 150 and all the way up to 600 at one point in time. Try asking him a question and he'll respond with a bunch of jibberish.

Actually it is this line at the bottom of the auction that is the hook, "**** NEED MONEY BADLY ******** DISABLED VETERAN , WHOM CAN HELP IS A M E N C H ............ TAKE IT TO NEW LEVEL PLEASE BID THANKS".
