It's a no win.

They could have run them in another auction when the cards were recovered. If not, the card owners are reimbursed by ML and their insurance company.

Agreed, but not before a whole valuation process on cards many of which did not exactly have a lot of comps. I'm not saying it was not a bad look -- it was -- just that at that point no alternative was great and they probably had reasons including insurance company input for doing what they did.

Happy Festivus!

Ooh man, I'm sorry but.. I got problems and your gonna hear about it!

1) Placement of TPA Stickers

TPA stickers on the front of photos...it looks horrible. It takes away from the actual photo and autograph. Place it on the back, if you don't have a letter. I promise it'll still work the same.

2) I can't stand online card breakers. *slow reveal....slow reveal.....*
LEEETTTTSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*cringe*

3) How many parallels does a card really need?

4) Charging $6.25 for shipping and then ship my order with a PWE and .73 stamp...not cool.

5) High prices on new modern product. Makes it tough for kids and new people coming into the hobby.

whew...okay, I think I'm good now...thank you!

Happy Holidays & New Years! Cheers!

What bothers me the most is that what I frequently post seemingly requires rhyming, and is often somewhat off-topic to the point of being a tad misanthropic.
