This idiot must not have a rational fiber in his body, how anyone can argue that a real and substantial marketplace (Ebay) is not a reflection of reality is beyond me.

It's pretty low numbered for the time and one of only two I've ever seen. It's a great card and I have not once regretted purchasing it for book value.Groathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390205519578254820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-16329428992726376522009-03-02T04:46:00.000-08:002009-03-02T04:46:00.000-08:00So who wants to tell him that Beckett sells stuff ...So who wants to tell him that Beckett sells stuff on ebay for under book value?

Like the millions of transactions do not dictate value, but a magical book tells us what the true value of something is. And the school yard bullyish part of it all was brought on by him when he stated if we saw his collection, we shit our pants.

Maybe not $500 for a $100 card, but I have paid $40 for $20 card. Why you ask. Because I wanted it and had not seen a copy on Ebay for months. I have been collecting cards for a couple decades now and know a rare card when I see one.stusigpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02728528326120902610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-80053242131570938842009-03-01T20:48:00.000-08:002009-03-01T20:48:00.000-08:00Oh, its completely schoolyard, pompous, and whatev...Oh, its completely schoolyard, pompous, and whatever else.Gellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819780003574759214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-60621226345147851192009-03-01T20:04:00.000-08:002009-03-01T20:04:00.000-08:00Im a fan of this blog and others like it.

If people want to use Beckett, who cares. I think it can come in handy when looking for a rough estimate in pricing. For example, if you saw a card on EBAY that you felt you "needed", selling for $500. Would you buy it, if it bookedbopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026077189387975825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-62140283245208018662009-03-01T19:52:00.000-08:002009-03-01T19:52:00.000-08:00I laughed once or twice while reading that whole e...I laughed once or twice while reading that whole exchange. While the language you used didn't really support a calm, rational exchange, the guy just straight up needs to take an economics class. Here's a few things I got from that though:<BR/>- everybody on ebay is either greedy or has a broken heart (though I'm not sure how you can be considered greedy if you're selling things at prices LOWER Groathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390205519578254820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-61735798282576529172009-03-01T19:39:00.000-08:002009-03-01T19:39:00.000-08:00LOL...
