Fr. 122, *631532B It was graded CGA 35 and PCGS 30 in the past. It sold for $3,680 in 2005, then $9,950 in 2006, and several times more over the last few years between $5,000 and $7,000. Most recently it sold on eBay for $2,750. I was watching the auction and didn't seriously think about bidding. I figured there was no way it could sell for less than $5,000, and the last second bidding war would have easily knocked me out of the running. I don't have a whole lot of money, but I was willing to go as high as $3,000, knowing I could turn around and sell it for at least $4,500. I didn't even bid because I was sure I didn't have a chance. Whoever bought that note for $2,750 got a steal. I'm so sad I missed out on such a huge opportunity. Learn a lesson from me. If you see a note you want, bid what you can afford. It might close really low one day and it will be yours.
Would you be surprised .... if I told you that I own one of the very few known " BEP Original Proof Engravings" of Pablo by Marcus Baldwin.. With a significant Ownership Heritage leading back to BEP Management? I thought you might be....
You can't go by the finale bid as the actual bid usually is a lot more and goes up with each additional bid.
