Matty Portrait Auction
Posted By: T206Collector
I don't have access to PSA pop reports. And with all apologies to anyone considering bidding in this auction, but I am struggling with a number of the population claims made throughout 19th Century Only. The one that really had me confused was this one. Of course PSA has graded more than 5 Matty portraits higher than a 4, right? What am I missing? |

The problem with the PSA pop. reports is they only relatively recently started separating back types so there are only 58 "Piedmont" Matty portaits in the pop. report, but there are an additional 333 graded Matty portraits with "Unknown" back types, since the one's graded previous to that time don't indicate the back type. |

...explanation of PSA pop reports. So, basically 19th Century Only is basically saying what the most recent population reports of PSA graded T206 cards are in its auction. How is that at all relevant, unless you are trying to mislead bidders? |

Gee, I'm surprised 19th Century Only doesn't have any contact information on its site so that question could be posed directly to the company. |

...defending the misleading practice or questioning the manner in which I am bringing that misleading practice to the public? |

Who really cares? I think the person who ends up winning this auction is not going to be influenced by a population number from PSA. Everybody knows that there are a million Matty portraits available, just look on ebay. It seems like every week there is some new accusation about a grading company or an auction house. How about just contacting the auction house first and letting them know about your issue? Seems easy to do. |

If "[e]verybody knows that there are a million Matty portraits available," why would you say there are only 5 better? |

I agree with Jeff and Rob. E-mailing the auction house would be a better way to handle this. I don't see any real value in posting this type of question. I guess it is a forum to get answers? Just not the way I would have gone about it. Seth is top notch and does not have a deceptive bone in his body. I have done several deals with him and would do more. |

And I have to say that Seth has been better than could be expected in answering my concerns after I emailed him. It is evident from his candor that there was no intention to mislead. |

I received an email this afternoon from someone pointing out that there is an "unknown" back designation in the population reports for PSA. The population figures that I used during the description write-up was based on the specific back variation in the PSA population report. I have added the following paragraph to each of the T206 descriptions referencing population information. |
