Hi,
I would say around $1300 overpriced!
Awesome card, and one I would love to have in my collection.
The signed ones don't come up very often as they are limited to 2500 with only the first 150 cards signed.
Cheers
Al

Well over priced. I'm lucky enough to have one in my collection and they don't come cheap, but agree with bigAl, you will see them sell anywhere around $600-$700ish. They are rarely for sale.

Just had a look at the listing and with that faded signature the seller is dreaming. An absolute mint condition one with nice black signature might push $800 to the right buyer. And to then ask $20 postage is ridiculous. Where do people get off asking that sort of money for postage.

Yep I agree, where do you jump from the $600-800 mark which they go for to $2000.
But their card, their price ---- but it will stay their card if asking that price .

Thanks for that, agree there, had some high postage of late, I have had 3 kilos for less, thanks Mark.

no condoning it, but if the seller was insuring it and it actually sold for $2000, $20 postage wouldn't actually even cover the full value. Extra Cover is $1.50 per $100 or part there of, so:

Actual Postage - $2 (for a padded envelope) + envelope cost
Registered Label - $3.80 (I think)
Extra Cover for additional $1900 (registered covers first $100) = $1.50 x 19 = $28.50

Total Postage = $34.30

Plus you also pay ebay fees on postage these days, so you can add another 10% to that.

Like I said, not condoning charging $20 postage when you are going to send in a white enveolpe, but postage costs these days are becoming ridiculous. I've recently had to change my international postage to minimum of $26 as the cheapest way to send international with tracking costs around $25 to US and $28 to the UK (excluding any packaging and envelope costs) and I just have had too many things go missing overseas to send without tracking.

Thanks for that. fair point, if that is the case, still too much for me, thanks Mark.
