Very nice Jimbo!
Weather hasn't been good as late. Way too hot. Those were from last month. Am gunna have to cut back going only once every two weeks instead of every week until late summer and cooler weather. I would probably have better luck on a boat. I could buy a boat but it is either that or gpk art. Nice to see the Jihad recreational bass pro tournament is still going strong. |

Maybe if I carry my machete I can have the pier all to myself and catch more fish? Sounds like a plan.  |

OK, it's now down to $15. Just a thought everyone, but to those who think the defect is a bad thing, you do know you can actually peel the sticker off? There might be a little damage because it's stuck on there pretty good, but it would be on the white part of the card. Like I said, it presents well for a poor card, and cards with much worse corners with writing on them have gone for around the same price. This has no writing, and like I said presents well.

In a five days I'm becoming a trucker again, and simply I won't have time to relist this card again. So this is your last chance to own this. Look at all the Ebay listings you want, and you'll see that all of them sell for at least $12.50. Ironically what I thought would be something to increase the value has now been something that is hindering the value since even a normal card with horrible edges, and writing on the back goes for more. So yeah, make an offer if you want. I'm not relisting, like I said. So you have one day, and a few hours to make an offer.

What's the take home amount after fees, shipping, time invested in the sale, etc.? sold for ten dollars..... ebay will have their 10% which is 1 dollar paypal will have their 2.9%+0.30cents which is 29cents+30cents(0.59) 10 dollars minus 1.59 = 8.41 take home shipping, could be 0.49(stamp) or 2.79(package) so that's up in the air. the time "invested" is priceless |

The total earned wages is $8.41 an hour. |

Well by that standard, NO CARD ON EBAY SHOULD BE SOLD FOR LESS THAN $10. It's all about the chance. Remember what I said. Better to be a fool that tries to sell for too expensive, than a person who tried to sell for too cheap.
As far as the person that offered me $10. The problem with that is, "What if the person who offered me the $10 on this site declines his offer? He has the right to do that. With the Ebay offer, once I take the offer, he's in a binding contract. The money is guaranteed. Because the $10 was more binding I decided that this was a better offer. It was a tie, and I decided for the binding offer. I hope that helps for the understanding.

I think people are being a little harsh here. Although it didn't sell for what I thought ($15-20), it IS still an original Adam Bomb (without writing on the back). Maybe with better pics and patience it would have sold for that high though. I've seen people pay ridiculous amounts for cards I thought weren't worth that much, so I agree with homerwannabee that it was worth a shot. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Not only would have I gave you the $10, I would have sent it as a friend payment and included $3 for shipping. You blew it bud. Actually I blew it. If you don't mind, please give the guy you sold that card to on eBay my contact info. I'm willing to pay $1150.00 for that error card. |

I got the card yesterday and it actually looks pretty nice for $10. It was actually for my 6 year old, who's been asking for one of my Adam Bombs. Uh, I love him and all, but my Bombs are in nice condition and not intended for his grubby hands! Back to the notorious card. Overall, the corners are decent, no writing on the back, centered, and borders are pretty white. An Adam Bomb on eBay just sold for $15 and it was well-worn. This one presents pretty well...and as for the defect...well, that wasn't really a selling point for me. |

Some even seemed to root against the final sale price. I think if it was listed for $20/obo it would have sold in a day or two without Paypal and eBay fees. Just my two pennies. |

So, last night I get home and my son says, "dad, did you know there's a sticker on the Adam Bomb? I took it off." Now he has just a regular old Adam Bomb:   |
