Nice one Dan

[mcabee2]

he probably had several and was shocked the 1st went so high.... now he wants that much for each copy. I never had one and had I still had my collection, $111 would be a price I would have paid. cool story... i have never heard it before. I was high bidder on a Gonzo lot in the late 90's and put a $60 bid on it (at the time, that was high for almost anything) only to get sniped at the end. it had been the only one that i had ever seen come up for sale.

Maybe you did not have this card but you still snipped me for the Footlocker card in the 90's and I still do not have a Footlocker. I would have to change my official collection to 539 if I ever got one.

Which one of you offered $111? Roberto, did the cash register open up?

Dear 2725,

I'm going to put a BIN up at the price of $111.00 FYI This is the price I had been offered a few days ago.

Dear x25k25j25,

How much do you want for the cards since I am such a good customer?

At the time I think that Jonas, Alan (AKAR) and I finally ended up with one each. I do not think Chris had one. I cannot say if this guy who is selling them is printing them or if they are real. I have never seen him sell Gonzalez items before so I do not really know who he is. He originally listed the card for .99 cents so I sent him an email and offered $20 if he ended the auction. He ended the auction and was surprised that I offered $20. He is a fast learner based on the price he is now asking. I do not know how he could have acquired so many since they did not appear for many years on ebay. I was happy with the one I had before he came along. Now he has two more for sale. We do not know if he has more. Either I made a great buy at $20 or I add another card to my fake card collection.

Great info Dan. Please let us know when you get the card. Just check the card thickness to the original,they should be the same. Very interesting. Thank You.

Why should I offer $111.00 for a card I already have???

Someone on this site did the buy it now on the card for $111. That card is no longer listed. Anyone care to declare the purchase?

[mcabee2]

Chris,

Let's get real. You guys outbid me on a daily basis. The last time I was truly interested was the 4 Ted Williams auto cards and that was a long time ago. Even for the PSA cards, Rob regularly outbids me. As a small time collector with 538 cards I am happy with my little collection.

538... wow. I only have 57 different and that a true count.
