Yes, as a buyer. What about as a seller?

Barring a larger auction house, it might have gotten better word of mouth on the BST. And straight transaction -- no juice.

Leon I skimmed through the auction - had I known this was going on I would have raised the bids by at least $1000 - their loss..

Also - I was surprised the topic starter for the t206 plank wasn't someone else

I am biased of course, but honestly couldn't believe a company would be so narrow sighted as to not understand where their customers are. You can lead a horse to water......

I have won a few items from Greg, I was surprised that he didn't advertise on here.

Next Plank is up. HA.com

I agree. I've been buying from Greg since he ran Superior back in the mid to late 90s. Always has great vintage cards in his auctions. I wonder why he doesn't advertise here??

I do not read this board nor participate any more. Unless someone sends me a direct link to view like this one. I rarely buy anything and I have a very small budget and I am a zero in the hobby with a few cards to my name. Dan Mckee.

P.S. I agree completely with John unfortunately, and the Legendary folks will be the first to tell you, the auction sales in major catalog auctions from this board's active members is a small percentage of the hobby. Mark Theotikus correct me if I am wrong.

The centering wasn't great with that thin top border. Not a high end 5 by any means (maybe a nice 4).

+1 on that Plank as a 5.

Greg is a very nice person who has some great auctions. I too was unaware of him a few years ago. I also must admit I forget about his auctions from time to time only to say ughhh I would have bought that!

With that said he has a great business going it seems and has some of the nicer stuff for sale.

The Heritage is a very nice card for a 350, I'm happy with my Planks but still would like to find an EX or better 150.



Cheers,

John

Greg is leaving money for himself and his consigners on the table, by not reaching the biggest buyers of this stuff. I'm small, (by comparison) to a lot of guys, but I still spend a grand or two every month, sometimes more. Bad business. Dave. ps I would have been a bidder on some if I had known.

[pawpawdiv9]

i have not heard of this either...I know i would of made a few biids.
Like 52 Mays Bowman, Clemente RC and even the Cobb (red portrait)
Some nice pieces to been had

I've been watching that Heritage one too.....it's a beautiful card.
