Well, we don't see all that many of these autos these days, plus the high bidder is a newbie.  He or she must really want the card.

Wow at that price it kinda makes you think of giving up your own collection and selling off everything...maybe another wave of new collectors out there just waving their money hoping for great HP cards Huh

It'll probably prompt a bunch of people to sell theirs and drive the price back down again.

It must be high because of the ultra rare Buckbeak and Monster book autos.  ROFL!  Or maybe the extra 13 empty screwdown holders.  ROFL! ROFL!

The seller was letting me know about it!  Huh Roll Eyes

Crazy! Apart from the Hermione auto and to an extent the NH Nick and Ollivander autos, there is nothing there really worth that much. I wouldn't think he should realistically expect to get more than $2500 and he's listed it at about $4000!!! Roll Eyes

The highest bid was $811! I really don't think, these days, he'll get more than that!!  Undecided

I think that the reserve he put on it was too off putting to most buyers, especially those who know their prices. Like I said, if you take out Hermione ($400) and Nick/Olivander ($100-120), the majority of the rest of the cards you could easily pick up for at the very most, $40 or so. Most for less than $20! Hmmm...

Do they think that it has grey in it?  Looks like a lighting problem to me.  Undecided

I wouldn't have said the lighting was a problem exactly ... I think it's been lit like that on purpose to try and make it stand out as something special, which of course has been very successfully done! Roll Eyes
Nothing has been said about 'grey hairs' on the listing but even so .... I think people are assuming they're there! Roll Eyes
I think there's going to be a very disappointed high-bidder when they receive this card don't you? Undecided

I agree, Jules.  I think I'll email them through ebay and ask if it has grey in it.  Evil

Update:  It only has 8 hours left.  I won't bother.

You know, I pulled a spare Grim card and it actually does have quite a bit of grey in it and is a low number.  When I saw this auction, I thought, WOW, maybe I should list my spare.   Wink

I was a little shocked when I saw it reach about $30.
