There are at least 3 yellow brown Mathewson's that have been known about
for several years.

Is SGC no longer authenticating/encapsulating those? I would understand the card not grading numerically; however, it would be helpful to get the holder and "A" grade.

As far as I know they're still grading the scraps, this hand cut missing color
Atz was just graded in March.

Heritage should probably stop using words like unique, none higher, pop one ETC... in their descriptions

With the number of knowledgeable and presumably well-paid executives, e.g. Derek Grady, it is astonishing to me that there are no safeguards in place to ensure descriptions that are precise and accurate when it comes to pop counts and such. Heritage needs to put "fail safes" in place so this sort of thing stops. It must be excruciatingly embarrassing to the Sports Division to have their false narratives outed.

For our litigator/commercial lawyers on the board: Is an incorrect description valid legal grounds for a winning bidder to not honor their commitment?

We debated this on the Brady ball thread. Depending on the auction house’s terms and conditions and the state law that applies, definitely could be an argument.

Interesting…. The reality is the auction house would black ball you, which could be worse than legal/civil ramifications! Regarding the Brady thread, my feeling is that the description was accurate when the auction ran and when it closed, and so the bidder should be SOL (although I realize the legal answer may be different).
