Auction Watch often focuses on the items and prices. Occasionally the question arises, “What is that seller thinking?”

Selling M.U.S.C.L.E. toys is different from selling Star Wars, Transformers, and just about any other popular collectible. There are some auctions this week that wonderfully illustrate the uniqueness of M.U.S.C.L.E. collecting.
