we can give facts about what the last sales were and that its blowing them out of the water and would make no sense for it to be shilled....and talk intelligently....so far I have been provided very useful counterarguments if that entails name calling.....ill all for discussing intelligently the pros and cons.....

I agree with your train of thought on some cards hitting extraordinary levels because of what they are, similar to waterfront property. I have always been fine with paying record amounts for gorgeous cards. I think the best looking specimens do the best over time. If the Green Cobb with the huge borders, shown in this thread, went to auction it too might fetch a record price. Shown all of the time but relevant, I am sure this was a record paid for this E90-1 Young when I got it recently, but it still didn't hit my max bid. Some cards are almost mesmerizing. Those are the ones that get record prices. The PSA 8 Mantle on the bay is that nice too.....

It is amazing how long a broken record will play for.

For those keeping score this is a confirmed cockroach that crawled in under the door. Same thing as always, I call them out, say lets have a chat and they go all F bomb in emails. I have my ideas on who it is but it doesn't matter anymore....Cockroaches usually get stomped on.

If I ever see one in the house I catch it and throw it outside!!! don't like killing any animals but need to go now and eat the leftover steak from last night at the restaurant.

but I'm just lost at how he regularly gets 20%-30% more than major auction houses on big ticket items.

If that is the case, then how easy is it for one to just buy normal cards on Ebay, consign them to Brent, and collect the 20-30% "juice" markup?? Maybe it's easier said than done. I know on my consignments, I don't see a huge increase. Some consignments even lost me a pretty penny. Then again, I don't bid up my own consignments, so maybe therein lies the rub.

And I thought I was articulate. Leon just said it better than I ever could!

Highest regards,
