<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>In fairness to this person, he has come
down from asking for $2500 and that was apparently based on another guy trying
to sell one for $2,000. The guy trying to do<b><i><span style='font-weight:
bold;font-style:italic'> that</span></i></b> got into a bidding war the last
time a card came up on ebay and paid just short of $900 before turning around
within days and going for the $2,000. As Bugs Bunny would say “What
a maroon!” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>But the person trying to sell the two
cards has at least now come down to what could arguably be considered a “reasonable”
price in that the cards have gone for in the neighborhood of $500 or more a
piece when they have shown up on ebay. What I don’t think he
understands is that the while the card dated ’97 might be more rare in
that Sergio apparently had a few blanks (or at least one) and gave them (it) away,
to most card collectors I know it would not be considered a “real”
sketch card because it’s not one of the 50 and therefore it’s not
really valuable to them. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

being desperate to pay bills and I feel for the guy. He should put the
pulled-from-the-pack sketch card up separately. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

The different date card must be worth more than the others though. <br>
