Agreed for eBay! Where would we be without middlemen?
Half the battle is getting these out of the woodworks and into the marketplace.
Thank god for auction houses as well.

Although the hardcore collector world would be a better place if everyone just posted on Net54 FST listings.

I don't understand the praise for PWCC here. So they sold a nice looking 2.5. Big deal. Anyone could have done that. Is the praise for the sticker that you've already agreed is meaningless since you yourself could tell it was a nice looking 2.5? I just don't understand the point of this thread I guess.

I bought a nice looking Julius Erving rookie here off the b/s/t many years ago. I don't need a sticker to tell me it looks nice for the grade. I know it does. That is all.

Obviously anyone could sell any card at any time. My point is that PWCC consistently brings nice cards to the hobby. It�s quite frequent actually. Just like REA brings vintage memorabilia of epic proportions. This helps collectors like me. Just my opinion. Wanted to say something positive on these boards for a change. Happy Saturday all 🌞

I like the positivity, Martin. I would make the point that it's the Consignors who choose to bring these cards to market, however, through PWCC. These are cards that are already "in the hobby", with PWCC just acting as a conduit for the sale.
Although I do kind of like the idea of PWCC staff roving around the country, raiding estate sales and Ohio attics looking for the next big find...

Personally, I agree that the quality of cards offered via PWCC is high. Over the last year, though, the avidity with which folks seem to be bidding on every single PWCC item is noticeable. It's been enough to discourage me from buying as much with PWCC. I'm spending far less with them now than I ever would have imagined prior. I also thought the 'HE' designation was gimmicky enough when it came out, and so now with the 3 new designations it's gone from gimmicky to mildly annoying to me. Just my two-and-a-half cents

Thanks Jason. In this scenario I like the old saying �don�t hate the player, hate the game�. If these consigners would just post on net54 �fst� (thanks Frank) I wouldn�t lose sleep with PWCC guilt.

But honestly I like PWCC.

Yes, often the same card after being altered or so bounced back and forth from probstein, ad nauseum

If the front and back look like an �8�, why is it only graded a �2.5�?

ullmandds · #10 05-11-2019, 08:41 PM

This sure sounds like aNother paid announcement by Pwcc???

Peter_Spaeth · #11 05-11-2019, 08:42 PM

Martin I see you joined relatively recently. The cynical attitude some of us have towards PWCC has many years of context with which you may not be familiar unless you've been reading the site that long.

ullmandds · #12 05-11-2019, 08:46 PM

Thank God for Pwcc...If it weren�t for them there would be no nice cards in this world.

Thanks Peter. I always respect the opinions of everyone. Like mentioned already I wanted to say something positive here. For what I assume is most likely majority middle aged veteran collectors here on Net54 I�m surprised by the �Twitter� like divisive attitude that you see with modern social culture. I can host a TedTalk Net54 episode out of the drama here
