Makes me wonder what the bid would be at if the card was in the holder |

This may sound strange coming from me, but I don't necessarily think PSA is to blame here. On several occasions, I've seen PSA assign this notation to cards when they are unsure whether to grade them. And I don't mean that in the sense that I'm being cynical. I just don't think PSA had decided whether they wanted to grade and label the card as a reprint. |

Based on the label, PSA appears to have been unsure whether the grading of reprints is proper. |

I'm sorry but this is why I stopped telling people about the fact they were bidding on a reprint. |

The buyers have to be in collusion with the seller........I sure hope no one is this stupid...but alas I have been wrong before......I went and looked at the bidders histories too.....hard to tell......regards |

No one has been stupid enough to pay $500 for one of the "Wagner estate" t206 reprints and there have been loads of opportunities. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" (early English translation from mid-Danish). |

PSA takes no blame here, as they didn't grade it (though it would nice if the 'no holder' label said 'reprint'). The fault lays with the seller, who apparently has the ethics of Shop at Home, and the bidders for either colluding or being stupid. |

You'd think we'd have something better to do. |

I draw the line at notifying unsuspecting bidders when they are such gigantic gearheads that they can't figure out that cards from 1933 weren't worth tens of thousands of dollar when the kids pulled them from the packs. |

Most everyone knows the story - the Lajoie was produced when collectors complained that it wasn't in the '33 set, and Goudey sent it out only to those who asked for it. (I think that's right). But what most of you obviously didn't know is that a bright young Goudey executive (my g-g-grandfather)figured based on the small number of requests they were getting for the Lajoie card, that those cards were worth about $10,000, so after a few glasses of bubble-gum martinis (he invented those also, but their popularity, much like the '33 Lajoie, had to wait), he had the printer add the $10K price tag to the back description. Fortunately he flushed most of them the next morning when he sobered up, but apparently a few survived. |
