$70 Michael Turner base card???

[shockandroy]

if they did need it for the set why didn't they just search ebay? This doesn't add up, there are enough on there at reasonable prices

like this one

if people are paying this I will hit the bins on all of them and flip them

Either way, why would you bid almost $70 on a base card #ed /99 of ANYBODY.

NOT SO SURE EVERYBODY SHARES YOUR OPINION. THERES SOME CRAZY BIDS ON HIGHEND BASE STAR CARDS:

ADRIAN PETERSON 08 EXQUISITE BASE CARD:

AND ANOTHER SELLING FOR 70ISH WITH DAYS LEFT

DONOVAN MCNABB 08 EXQUISITE BASE CARD:
http://cgi.ebay.com/DONOVAN-MCNABB-2...3A1%7C294%3A50

BUT THEN YOU HAVE FAVRE, BRADY, LT, ETC. SELLING ROUND 20-30 BUCKS SO THERE SURELY IS NO METHOD TO THE MADNESS

My guess would be that both of the 2 top bidders needed it for a set or something and the first one put in a huge bid thinking that there would be no way it would go really high, and the guy that won decided to place a ridiculous bid like $100 at the last second to make sure he beat the other guy but was probably expecting the max bid of the first bidder to be significantly lower. I've seen people who have said that their strategy is to place a huge bid at the last second, but this is definitely one of the cases where that plan didn't work out so well

Agreed, haha, I've been there! :/

That is a terrible strategy! Why not just put in as much as your willing to pay?

If I put in 10 grand for a card then personally, If I win at that price thats what I'll pay. I've not looked up the 'value' or book of a card in over 5 years. I bid what I think will win it. Just sometimes you get screwed a bit more than you think its worth, but still if you REALLY WANT IT you'll pay whatever it takes. I paid 650 for a simple button card of Griffey Jr. because it was 'jsy numbered'. The more frustraiting part is if the bidder doesn't PAY...that PEEVES ME! :)

Yeah I was also going to mention that 08 Exquisite Adrian Peterson card.

I remember a couple months ago they were selling for $40-70 price range. Then a month ago at like $125-150.... I still need this bloody card and I keep holding off thinking its going to level off. Today they are closing at over $200! (and you just posted that $250 BIN - Jesus, this is ridiculous!)

I've never seen madness like this for a second year card of superstar in along time.

Right but in this scenario the guy didn't actually anticipate paying 50+ dollars.
