Hell, even if the mask didn’t go for 10x estimates, a $440,000 item for $157 goes way outside the lines. For those of you that would gladly fork over the $157 without saying a word, congratulations. Test concluded, it’s verified; you’re one of those scumbag pieces of $#!t that gives the hobby a bad name.
Many years ago, I sold a PSA 9 worth several K to a dealer. He was able to bump it to a 10, and when he sold it at a huge profit, he sent me part of his take. When I said you didn't have to do that, he said for him it was the right thing to do. That's how people should be.

LOLOL good one. No, no "work" done to the card, just a friendly bump.

Only half that story works for Moser. Hint, it's not the part where he shares the money lol.

Actually I don't think 9 to 10 was his thing, more a 5/6/7 to 8/9 guy.

I like this story, thanks for sharing it. And I agree. When in doubt, consider the Golden Rule. When confident (perhaps especially when confident), also consider the Golden Rule.
