If so, seems to be bringing a lot more than it should.

Private auction though.

nevermind, I see hers is different. Interesting though. And I should state 1869 not 67. flaming mad

Gotta wonder about the price this one is getting - its at 67k now. I thought the seller had it overpriced when he was asking 28k on a BIN, considering the mount is trimmed.

Either he did a great job of using the publicity of the old woman's card to get a hell of a lot more for this card than its worth, or there is some serious funny business going on with the bidding...

I'm seriously sick after reading the description...

NO MORE BOLD, UNDERLINED, RED & BLUE FONT PLEASE!

But Yahoo! certainly helped this one, especially when they said the value was 6 figures.

You notice that his big, bold description doesn't say anything about it being trimmed.

The smartest thing he ever did was take that off a BIN after the article. Can't blame him too much for having the right card at the right time!
