To everyone in this thread, just a friendly reminder of our most important rule, which is at the top of every page-

"If you give an opinion of a person or company your full name needs to be in your post."

thanks

The thread lasted about 30 minutes on CU before they 'poofed' it. It looks like the original auction has been 'poofed' as well. Hopefully someone from PSA contacted Probstein and asked him to remove the listing so they could re-evaluate the card and assign it a proper grade.

Edited: It looks like eBay removed the listing. Had Probstein ended the auction early, it would still show as a completed listing. Since there is no record of it at all, that means eBay must have removed it.

If I was a scammer, I would use PSA to grade and Probstein to sell them.
No doubt about it.

Push it through PSA, have Prob list it, and shill the crap out of it.

Jimmy- you're from my neck of the woods, but I think you are way off base here. I'm sure, however, Rick could care less about your comments. If you are down on PSA by the way, you might want to take a peak at the difference in resale value between them and SGC, especially high graded vintage cards....

Truer words have never been spoken...

I have seen numerous threads about Rick Probstein, and, here we are again. News flash, if you don't trust the guy, don't bid on his auctions, period... What is so difficult about this?? If it was such a big red flag, why in the hell doesn't Ebay do anything about it? What does that say about them if there were issues??

+1

PSA is the best. SGC is also good but I hate their numerical grading system..a 70 is really a 5.5? Say what?!! Major mistake when they decided on that lame system.

The difference is resale values is because of FOOLS that bid on flips rather than cards. Don't kid yourself otherwise.

If you didn't see the card, you missed what I consider the most over graded card that I have ever seen. It was way OC and all 4 corners were soft - not touched, soft - and had a crease. It looked like a 4 OC, yet there were several bidders. Why would people bid on such an ugly card? It's simple and has nothing do with resale value. They were bidding on the flip, not the card.

You can sit there all you want and talk about resale value. Those FOOLS are not bidding on cards, they are bidding on flips.

EDIT: For clarification, I'm not calling people that bid on PSA cards FOOLS. I'm saying that when all things are equal (two nearly identical cards, same grade, different holders), the only reason that the PSA cards outsell SGC cards is because some FOOL is paying for a flip.

I am guessing the Mantle was a clerical error. It happens.

David- just for kicks, would you rather have an SGC 84 Cobb, or a PSA 7 Cobb when you are trying to raise big money?

So money doesn't matter??
