And there are some base versions (non-Desert Shield/OPC/Tiffany) that sold at upwards of $30. I guess I need to get to my garage and see what I have in some of those boxes I haven't touched in forever.

I noticed all the bidders on the ones that were sold at auction had very low feedback. My thinking it was the seller playing around and jacking up the price, for whatever reason.

These are all just people trying to manipulate pricing on ebay. Mostly fake "buy it nows" from the same seller. A couple that have bids from almost brand new accounts that mostly just bid on that seller.

Not the same seller. I looked at the several of the listings. Of course, it doesn't eliminate the possiblity of one person with multiple accounts.

It's all way too fishy for me. We all know there's no reason they should be selling for those prices, so I definitely feel there's something underhanded going on.

It could be people doing this as a joke, too. It's a manager card of Popeye!
And then it could be something more curious. I read once about someone trying to buy all the issues of one of Curt Flood's Topps cards just to drive the price up as a way of recognizing Curt Flood's contributions to baseball.
Maybe the guys behind this are trying something like that, or they are trying to pull something like the Reddit group which drove up the price of GameStop stock just to burn the Wall Street guys who shorted the stock.

Are we seeing the birth of a new Fleer Jose Uribe on the market or is that a new Joelshitshow alias? If they wanna pay $20.00, I can sell mine at that price anytime.
