Interesting thread on the non-sports board

I'm not here to defend Heritage, just trying to point out the hilarity of piling on them while defending Goodwin to the grave. Based on the following auctions, which occurred within months of each other I believe, I suppose Heritage's proclaimed shill bidding did not do much to help them with these auctions:

Heritage: D304 Young SGC 80 $17,925
Goodwin: D304 Young SGC 80 $80,053

Heritage D304 Mathewson SGC 70 $8,365
Goodwin D304 Mathewson SGC 60 $45,123

Imagine if Bill Goodwin was able to shill bid as per his published auction rules! Things could really get out of hand; I mean it would be legendary.

WOW! I am AMAZED at the price differences for the EXACT same card for the Young, and a lower condition card got WAY MORE money than his higher grade counterpart!! Should I start consigning to Goodwin????

One word: marketing.

The fact that their house bidder includes the name "Gresham" is absolutely hilarious. Yeah, I'm sure he had no idea what that meant!
