No offense but this seems like a really asinine comment. The guy looked at a scan and said he would pay $125k. Then he saw the same card in the SGC 10 holder and backed out of the deal. What difference are you even talking about? The article doesn't even list the guys counter-offer after he backed out of the deal.

If I agreed to buy a raw card from you for $500, then when you got it back from SGC I said actually, I'll only pay $300, would you be fine with splitting that difference? You'd probably tell me to take a hike for backing out of a deal.

A deal made for a raw card is just as valid as a deal made for a graded card. Deals like that happen every day with just front and back scans.

Whoa! There's been a Barry sighting. Sprinkle a few more Seinfeld comments around and maybe we can get him to surface again.

Hi Barry. Hope all is good.

All is well Rob. Trust you are well too.

think Barry is posting to a secret network in the interim. My best Barry should you open this thread again. I hear it's mighty cold there in Brooklyn and I'm not talking about the election.....

It's freezing Henry, that's why they call it winter. Thanks for your good wishes.

Dan:

Congratulations on burnishing your legend in the hobby!

And I LOVE the last line in the newspaper article!

P.S. Hi, Barry!

What's happening Barry! Good too hear from you! I would think the value of the Zinn card would go up after the article and if another one magically showed up, the value would be way more than what it was before the article.

I thought it was cool that Dan (hi Dan) picked it up at a card show back in 1995. I don't think the E commerce was too popular back then, and you had to actually had to do more work to buy cards. Nothing beats the fun of negotiating and playing rock, paper, scissors to determine the price.

Barry - it is good to see you post. Great article that I read in the actual paper over lunch. Hope all is well with you both. Can a NYC Dinner thread be far behind?

Bingo Luke! Thanks for the sensible post! Dan
