Trying to deceive as to the value of a card seems something people should be allowed to comment on, in my opinion.

If you check Small Tradition's last auction, you will see this Derek Jeter POP 1 PSA sold for $1655

http://smalltraditions.com/LotDetail...1994-Collector

It is now on eBay for $7,500

So I am obviously not the only one in the world who buys from small auction sites, and trys to flip

I have no issue at all with trying to flip. My issue is with trying to do so by a misleading sales pitch, suggesting a single PSA 8 sale was the most comparable card, when in fact there were three prior sales of this very card for hundreds less, as well as many PSA 8s for substantially less than the one you touted. No need to insult people's intelligence when trying to make a profit.

Just a little excited that it went for 1135 with a lower grade thats all, didnt mean to over pitch it. In my eyes, I just don't see why it wont go for more than 1135 if it's a higher grade

I don't think everyone views BVG and PSA to be equivalent. Indeed, the prices paid for the BVG including in at least one major auction suggest otherwise. A PSA 8.5 would go for much much more.

Does not view them as equivalent. Anyway, sorry for everything. Good luck with the sale.
