Just saw a full legend Vick on the AH for like 75k

Had to take the time to make an account just so I could post about this. Lol I had just finished my dailys and solo battles and lately been eyeing a couple higher priced cards (mainly AKA Deion if he drops a little more) so before I jumped off checked to see if hes low enough before I buy, then while I was there, figured id get a feel for Vicks price as well. There was a bunch for between 700-800, 900k etc but the first one I saw was like 74k bid 75k buy, it took me a fraction of a second pause thinking "is this one of the other vesions not the full, must be (not even realizing not ppssible because i had filtered for only 88-89) then as my thumb hits buy: AUCTION ENDED. Im so mad at myself right now. Lol 

Anyway I usually dont have many coins stacked this is the first year I can even really consider buying premium releases day 1 and Im curious, how common is something like this? Was someone off a decimal point lol or were they moving it between accounts or what?

This happens a decent bit, but is still somewhat rare. Often times when inputing the price somebody will forget a zero. I almost did it yesterday but only and 85. Always remember to double check.

It's not common and I think trying to find these things brings the question if it's really worth the time invested vs just simply playing and trying to win super bowls. But it does happen, and you can put yourself in a position to be the sniper by being more specific in your filters and sorts. For example, I noticed a while back "84-85, headliners, all offense" still wouldn't bring up Jordan Love even with less than 100 results and I had to make sure QB had to be selected. Although maybe I just screwed up my search or something. Regardless though, a broad search still might find something else, and you might not wanna be TOO specific. But generally the best way to find snipes in my experience is to narrow things down to less than the 100 being displayed, because if you exceed the maximum 100 with your search it's more likely to put up old deals than ones just posted. An 88 Vick for 75k is undoubtedly new, lol. Thus less likely to be the first thing people see with a broad search query.

Edit - never be the guy who posts a regular price for less than you're willing to settle for. Seen quite a few cards get way underpaid because of this. That's also one way to get some cheaper cards is sorting by price once in a while and not BIN price.

Good info, the check for really low bids in the right situation actually hadnt even occurred to me. Though I anticipate you probably have to either find one in a unique window or be prepared to go back and forth for awhile with other bidders if its THAT low (other people with the same idea) Either way, thanks for the heads up.

I avoid getting into bidding wars because that's a major waste of time but one trick I do that got me a cheap card was bid a few times to make it look like there's another bidding war. So whoever was bidding before will give up..haha.
