Heritage Auction wins

[Sean]

I got the T206 Mordecai Cubs Shirt. High price but not unreasonable. But some of that stuff..... The Walter BL460! But at least it's one of a kind. I can't understand $252,000 for a PSA 3 Plank.

150 Planks are definitely worth a premium, but........wow

So there were still high prices paid for graded cards.

I don't understand. I thought they were supposed to collapse and only idiots would continue buying graded cards.

Interesting.

No it won’t stop as I’ve commented before....PSA knows everyone is making money off their brand hand over fist...they’re not going to admit they let the hobby down..they’re keeping hush and hoping this will pass as it has many times in the past....PSA knows the ....AH’s, Dealers, EBay sellers, flippers, collectors and gamblers on Facebook Razz sites will pump their slabbed cards as gold. these guys need them more then PSA need them......why?? because they still have the registry people and kool aid drinkers on the CU message boards who have hundreds of thousands if not millions tied up in their holders. People are addicted to this stuff......this years National I predict will have longer lines and more sales then ever before. Watch the PSA both, people will still come back to them even after all this mess....you know how many guys in this industry have told me...I have to use them.... they sell better in their holders, I need them for the registry guys plus they make a lot of mistakes I might get a higher grade...that’s truth. I can’t see this mentality stopping....PSA is growing....I predict they’re going to blowout all their past revenue numbers this year as from previous years.

I just was being sarcastic.

I think it is laughable reading all the posts where the soothsayers are forecasting doom for the graded card market and how anyone who buys a graded card is an idiot.

If someone can afford to drop 252k on a trading card they aren't an idiot.

People love to collect and that isn't going to change.

I have been very active over the years on the CU board and the kool aide drinking you suggest I don't see. Surprisingly PSA has let a lot of negative posts be made.

That’s a good sign....hopefully acceptance and accountability on their behalf will be coming in the near future. If they accept responsibility, admit they let the hobby and industry down, take card of the people with bad cards in holders and finally come up with a viable solution to try their best to prevent this from happening any further I will be very pleased. That would be a step in the right direction for their Brand and Industry.....I’m hoping this happens.

If they remain silent.....that’s worrisome....

My Plank is a lot nicer than that one. So is Ryan's. I guess we made a bunch of money last night.

You're going to spike the football at the end of the first quarter?

Do you believe that Brent and team should be convicted of fraud and jailed?
And that PWCC should be put out of business?
Do you believe that PSA is capable of detecting alterations to cards?
What about all the altered cards in numbered holders: should they be returned, refunded, and put in Authentic/Altered holders?
Or should they just freely reenter the market, and everyone should forget about the issue?

The FBI hasn't even pressed any charges yet. To say that all is well at this juncture is a little premature.

And yes, I realize I was being baited into answering. I still don't get your white knighting for a company that isn't honest. You trusting in the PSA message board guy and Steve Sloan is pretty humorous to me. If they were honest, they would NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS FRAUD, AND WORK TO REMOVE THESE CARDS FROM THEIR HOLDERS.

I was actually one of the biggest PSA fans on this board, since I got back into collecting 5 years ago. Remember, "Never Get Cheated!"
