Anyone watching probstein auctions

[biggsdaddycool]

Every time I happen to click a card I like and see Probstein or PWCC, I just turn and walk away.

Please be careful about our name rule which is at the top of every page.....if someone said that about your auction would you maybe want to know who they were?

All I meant was most of their stuff ends up way too rich for my blood. They both advertise everywhere. Did not mean to offend. Apologies.

No worries. It has nothing to do with where they advertise. This board is different than most in that the name rules (having your name next to your comment when necessary) are in bold print at the top of every page and are enforced as much as possible. Nothing personal....Happy collecting!!

This the one everyone is talking about? The PSA 8 over 20K?
I sold my Mays PSA 7OC on Ebay last year and thought it brought good money then, for what folks considered a 5 because of the OC
http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/GjsAAO...-1J/s-l500.jpg So are we saying the flip says it all? or can we not say that this one should of received a OC as well?
But after looking- Back in December a 7 from Singapore got 9900 and a 6.5 got 8714 in march 20.

The 8 up now is probably about as close to an OC qualifier as a card could be while still keeping such a high grade. A small fraction of an inch more top to bottom and that card loses about 90% of its value. Pretty crazy when you think about it but that's the way it is.

looks within the centering parameters for an 8 to me. Not sure where some think it needs to be a 6 based on its centering. Agree its not perfectly centered but i have seen much worse (centering) especially in sgc holders.

How does it lose 90 percent of its value? 8s have a tighter centering tolerance than 7s so it would drop to a 7. A big gap still but not 90 percent.

I fully admit if someone has what I want, I am a buyer. I have bought from both and due to the well known issues I will only do it with a sniping service and just use a price point I feel is fair and never feel bad about an outbid.

As they get crazy prices, I rarely win from them. However, they do pack and ship well.

So at least they have that last part going for them (shipping and packing) which is nice
I have bought from both but certainly know my limits bidding heading into it
