Pretty Amazing One of a Kind Jackie Robinson at Memory Lane

Cool item, but I am more fascinated by the "MLB GOLD DIAMOND Mike Baker Label" which evidently is a way for an opinion seller (Mike Baker?) to turn the opinion of another opinion seller that an item is "only" a 2 into something even better.

Does that label mean that after paying for an opinion the item was given to somebody else who was then paid for another opinion?

Just curious,
Doug

In a word. Yes.

It is not a 1 of a kind. It is rare but they are out there on ebay, occasionally, and most people have no idea what it is so they are so you have to really look closely for them. It is not the only example graded either and was not even at the time the catalog was made. Someone there is not great at checking SGC's pop report and I do not blame them but if you are going to make a statement like that, it really should be done with a little bit of effort.

One certainly shouldn't take auction house descriptions as the gospel.

Try collecting Police Gazette supplements, even the most reputable auction houses will frequently describe newspaper pages as supplements, and they are EASY to differentiate. Dare I say, impossible to confuse?

And with this auction house seems you cannot take their scans as gospel either given a certain thread we had recently about them.

It is the Wild West out there, I tell ya! Every (wo)man for themselves.

We identified this for the original poster last June, I thought I remembered it.

Removed it and all from his original post lol.

Why go through all this instead of just saying it's yours and skip looking like an idiot.

Really the only reason I care is because it's in the wrong section and is taking advantage of getting way more eyes for free. This should be a paid ad to Leon based on the link to the auction house knowing what we know in my opinion.
