I hope he pays out the few consignors he had. A buddy of mine passed away and the person handling his affairs opted to go with Dave at Small Traditions to sell his collection. The proceeds are supposed to go to his only child his surviving Daughter. I didnt like the way they auctioned off most his stuff as they made up huge wholesale lots and gave a brief description along with a picture or two.
I heard Small Traditions was going to grade a lot of cards, but then I see many big lots were not graded and all raw. Wouldn't surprise me, if the winner(s) of some of these lots all knew most cards were mint and ripe for grading. A lot of his collection he obtained in the 90s and early 2000s. My buddy didnt like grading, as he was an excellent grader, without having someone else's opinion. I hope everything works out where his Daughter and other consignors are paid.

I hate to say it, but when an auction does that they are usually going to buy the lot themselves and then list it properly. Mastro was known for this.

Small Traditions is the AH that we all chewed out a few months ago (and a few years ago) about their email that suggested they get a chance to talk to PSA graders to review the grades they felt were unwarranted. I remember that thread getting revived a few months ago. I’m not sure how many actual consignments Small Traditions actually get given the number of items purchased by David, trimmed, and then auctioned off via his AH. What a shame.

Yeah I have one guy who helps me as a subcontractor. He isn't allowed to bid on lots he works on. I don't ever bid on a lot I'm selling.

Hard to believe!
Can you believe that people are still consigning and people are still bidding in his auction? Why isn't he in jail?

It is truly disgusting. Perhaps a combination of 1/3 unmitigated gall, 1/3 arrogance, and 1/3 a sense of invincibility. This clown has been getting away with it for so long (with no ramifications or consequences) that he thinks he's infallible.
A proven card trimmer and fraudster, caught dead to rights. Yet the sheep keep flocking to the well, to be ripped off even further. |
