That is pretty stupid to not be able to look the card up? Why have a number in the first place? Anyway, according to the website and John, It's Monday and it will be up and running today!!!:D

Think of how many cards have been broken out of the slabs for both PSA and SGC and the numbers that are no longer valid, because they don't exist anymore? We'll there must be a million I tell ya :D

but with an owner registry you could get at least a disguised email from someone claiming they own the card so its in real time versus a database that may not be updated.....i wouldnt buy a mantle from guy number 1 if there is a guy number 2 telling me he owns the card...that issue would have to be worked out first..

Nice card Chuck. Why don't you crack that bad boy out of the holder and give the big F U to the establishment (TPG).

What bigger F U to the establishment would there be than to give away a treasure like that instead of reaping any benefits from the corporate fat cat's inflated market. I think perhaps I would be a natural choice for who to give it away to as I would never sell it.

Right now it's slated for one of the grandsons who showed interest in the cards on their visits here. Your a distant 2nd...:D

While many of you wish I would die sooner rather than later, my grandmother did live to 102...I have half my life left and many more midlife crisis's to come.

Too many bad memories of ruining cards just trying to put them in a sleeve :D I can't imagine breaking the "slab". I know many crooks do it, but it's my belief that once a card is in that stupid container, it should just stay there.
