Look, certain auction houses got caught cheating and instead of taking responsibility for their actions they shot the messengers. Unfortunately, the messengers also spend a lot of money at their auctions.
Btw, how would you like to have been the consignor of the Hal Chase M110 that just ended in Legendary? It was a PSA 3 and it went for $3800. In 2008 and 2007, the same card in SGC 30 went for $7600 and $7050. So Legendary sold the card in a grade higher for half the money. I can guarantee you that had I not been banned I would have bid that PSA 3 card up to 10K (or at least Doug Allen would have run me up to 10K). Think that consignor is happy with his result? Maybe he can ask Doug what happened at the Net 54 dinner at the National this summer (presuming Doug's bellyache heard 'round the world is not a yearly, first week of August occurrence).
