<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; 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 color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; 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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I think he’s
telling the truth about
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>
