it's not that these cards are absolutely NOT ex-Mt* And they are not! it's the whole commentary you wrote in each and every ad! Are we excluded from who should bid on this stuff?? These T-206's are ex at best! Most of them seem to have little pieces worn away from a corner! Now that your on this board.....you got to know someone is going to view these??? |

James but these are not ex-mt cards. If you sent them in to PSA or better yet SGC you would get all 40's-60's......or 1-3 grades lower than your descriptions. Now I know why the guy I bought the E221 said his/my card is near mint with 3 heavy creases and chocolate stains.....I understand hyping to sell but you don't need to go that far. You are more advanced than that....and for about $7 you could get them slabbed and if they came back 6's or 80's you would reap much, much more money. You know that....or don't you?...again, I have never had personal problems with you (save, a few errant emails) but you know better.......good luck and best regards |

I thought Wayne Brady made me laugh hard this morining when I took him to the airport, but I was laughing so hard at this I almost had tears in my eyes. As MW pointed out, if they truly were ex/mt cards, it would be worth far more than the $7 fee to get them graded. |

....when people regularly auction cards off for 2 or 3 grades higher than they are? Ex, or in some cases ex+, I say. |

It seems to me that a lot of people who should know better (and probably do, but aren't admitting it) are jumping on the T-206 greed train before it pulls out of the station. Nobody can successfully argue with me that the Jverri cards grade as described. If so, I have a bunch of vg and vg/ex cards I should be able to sell to you as ex/mt's and I shouldnt hear a peep of complaint. As far as some of the other posters here, it seems to me like the emperor has new clothes. There can't be one grading standard when you are buying and another when you are selling which is what some dealers now seem to be advocating (I know I am generalizing - I dont intend to offend the innocent). I dont subscribe to the theory that some people (mostly dealers) have that if the graded holder says so then it must be true. Blind faith is not always such a good thing. I have come to the conclusion that grading of cards is a scam and a sham. Buy the card for what it appears to be based on your experience, not what the graders say it is. The buyers experience is worth way more in the long run over what any grading company says. If it seems like a bunch of crap is being spread out with hype, it probably is. I have seen too much crap being produced by the grading companies lately to believe anything that they put on a holder. Just a few observations and common sense tips to collect by. Good day. |

The bottom line is whether you are a collector or a dealer or some combination of the two, there is always less of a discrepancy with respect to condition (on pre-war issues) if the card is encapsulated in an SGC holder. |

As someone who often sells when they get upgrades I have given the issue of how to sell sucessfully without crossing into misrepresentation quite a bit of thought. |

I'm also assuming that small surface creases do not apply to this group of T206s. But even then, there are some collectors who would claim that any crease is a major detraction. |

I do have some nifty ones, and three or 4 photos of each. As a fellow Blacksozx collector, may I ask if you're trying to get everything, or just a nice, representative group of cards and photos? |

I bought the '91 UD supplemental set and the Pedro was perfect - I sent it to PSA and got a 10. Still have it. Don't know about having the new acquisition graded - Pedro's off to a great recovery since opening day, but I need some Cy Young numbers! If he's doing good at the all-star break, I'll send in all 75 to SGC. |
