Default April Legendary Auction

Now it turns out that they are not paying consignors from the April Legendary Auction. There is a thread about it on the NonSports side.

Reminds me of the of a cartoon I saw a while back, I think in The New Yorker:
Two businessmen in suits standing in an office...

Q "Wow, how did you go bankrupt?"
A "A little bit at a time then all at once."

I'm afraid this is not going to end well for the Mastro/Legendary cast of characters.

The truth is that if a card is a 5 figure card PSA will charge you 250 to grade the card. Alot of folks try to slide cards by putting a huge card with a common lot but all that does is piss the graders off.

I'm really trying to figure out why people still want to consign and do business with these folks. It is not like they are fetching huge dollars that another auction house cannot.

I did not even bother to introduce myself to the Legendary boys at the National because i could tell they were to cool for school. I stayed at the Marriot and saw them many times in the lobby and my first thought was they remind me of like Winnie the Pooh, very easy to read.

Uh, oh. I guess I should let Dave Forman know that there will be another leak to the Daily News about him any second now...

Is it me or does Ron Oser look like a Art Garfunkel stunt double?

Default 40K in Grading Fees

According to the thread on the Net54 Nonsport Forum, the vast majority of the NonSport Cards in the April Auction was consigned by a man suffering from cancer (He has since passed away). His widow was charged 40K in grading fees and so far has only received half the money she was owed.

Now that is legendary greed and cruelty.

Who will Doug blame this one on?

Default Unreal.....

How can anyone spend 40k on grading fees? Can we get any info on the cards that were graded in regards to how many were submitted? Also who did the grading?

If this is true, then Legendary's conduct is beyond unbelievable. But who is surprised?
I would like to know more about this though. So far only one person has made these claims about the non-sports Legendary auction. And he is not the one who got burned.
