Paul - that is a harsh post.

I love it. I agree with it 10000000%.

I hope that things turn back to the true collectors and flippers stay in their lane. I appreciate the thread and hope you can provide some other examples as well. The flippers need to panic, sell and get out of Dodge.

Ty Cobb Last Game Ticket Stub

Lelands Feb/March 2022 - $16,600:

Last night at Goldin exact same stub/PSA # sells for $5100 - high bid was 4250 (most likely the consignors take)

Plus if they paid Goldin any selling fees.....approx a 12-13K bath OUCH!!!!!

I also saw a known Ebay seller bought during the madness of 2021 & early 2022 a Ruth Called Shot Ticket (& program), and he tried flipping on Ebay and also lost BIG recently. He was a Type 1 photo seller prior to Covid and tried his hand at Tickets and hopefully learned to stay in his lane.

I also saw a Ticket Flipper take a beating at Heritage in July & Aug with their consignments.

A lesson for all you youngsters out there, don't buy when things are peaking. Not everything rises. If you bought Tickets during 2021 to early 2022 hopefully you are a collector and not a flipper because flippers who didn't know what they were doing are learning the hard way now.
