Peter,

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but it appears you have an axe (sic) to grind. Did you not read this:

Great gloss, fantastic borders and ultra vivid blue background makes (sic) this card jump out at you. Fantastic back.

The card jumps out at you. I doubt the other PSA 9s JUMPED at you. (By the way, Mickey Mantle had a 38-inch vertical leap, something that had it been noted in the auction description, likely would have resulted in $1,000 more added to the hammer price.)

Hope this helps.

"Newspaper editor"... See what I mean?

Late weigh in.
I consigned the S81 Speaker (Lot 41) in Bill's auction just ended.
I expected it to fetch somewhere in the $5k - $6k range before the vig.
I will say I was disappointed with the results achieved and, by inference, would suggest there was no shilling or hidden reserve going on. And to satisfy Jeff's healthy auditor's skepticism, I did not, repeat did NOT bid on my own lot.
The market dictated the value.
Based on this and my previous transactions with Bill, I will step up and say he runs an fair auction.
Thanks for reading.
Bob

We really need some of those consignors who have those 1967 PSA 8 commons which sell for 5K to speak up.

And are consignors permitted to bid on their own lots in Goodwin's auction?

[Peter_Spaeth]

It is very reassuring to hear that Lot 41 was legit.

[Exhibitman]

One thing not to lose track of in these discussions is that anyone can bid on their own items in any auction--all they need is a friend or family member to set up a separate account. So the consternation over the dreaded specter of consignor bidding is really a waste of energy since there is nothing an auctioneer can do to detect or prevent it if a consignor has half a brain and is intent on doing it.

[Peter_Spaeth]

If a consignor wins his own card does the consignor have to pay the buyer's premium? That is, if a consignor can bid in the first place.

[calvindog]

Circumstantial evidence is evidence. I know this for a fact.

More facts:

1967 Topps Maury Wills PSA 8: the card sold 34 times in the past three years, 25 times between $100 and $200….and once for $349, the only time Goodwin sold it. Coincidentally, the same card was on ebay the very night the Goodwin auction closed – and the ebay card sold for $146.

And finally, Bob, try to have more respect for defense lawyers. It's a thankless job sometimes and very stressful. After all, I have respect for the company which hosts Goodwin's auctions, i.e. yours, so turnabout should be fair play.

Well, I asked him what his "facts" were and got no response. I guess I know why.

[calvindog]

Jim, I certainly don't mind if Bill's friends chime in and support him as long as they note their biases; after all, what are friends for? What's worse is when some support Bill and/or attack me and fail to note their financial bias; this is misleading. You know, like if someone who was attacking me was a big consignor to Bill. Or wrote his flowery and often grammatically incorrect auction write-ups. Or who tried to collect money for Bill.

Now isn't it time to attack Dave Forman again?
