The Stephen Strasburg rookie card auction, that almost reached a million dollars on Ebay, has ended early and all bids were cancelled. The auction was ended at 8:17 EDT on 27 June 2010.
The bid history showed that all bids were cancelled due to ending the auction early. My thought is those bidding, that did contact the owner, could not prove to to the owner's satisfaction they had the means to pay if they won the bid.
Now with the additional rules permitted by Ebay will the owner put the card back up for auction on Ebay? Will the owner find another auction venue? Will the owner attempt to sell the card to a private collector? I don't see the card being sold outright. It might fetch a better price through auction. If the owner is offered six figure amount or close it might be enough. Check out my previous post about this card titled How Much for that Rookie Card?.
Someone got a screen grab of the card when it hit its high mark last friday, 25 June 2010. Below is that grab.
