TPG's and 1962 Green Tints, A Sad Tale

[glynparson]

Is not done by the graders, most data entry at psa are not card experts.

Love your insight on the topic Darren, thank you!

Glyn---If they have one guy who looks at the card and says it is an 8 but offers no opinion on how to otherwise classify the card, and a second guy who knows nothing about cards classifying it, that makes me even happier that I never got into graded cards.

But, to me it is and always has been a hobby. If I were in cards as a business or an investor, I guess I would be stuck with them.

Darren, not too much to add here except that I have found quite a few miss labled by TPG's on ebay as well. Very suprising/disappointing given your work has shown that there are tell-tale signs to identify these with 100% accuracy.

An opinion is only as reliable as the person giving it. Some great questions/issues raised earlier in the thread.

Darren, please send that 'Official Green Tints Guide' to PSA QUICK! On Saturday, I sent a PSA graded Braves Team Green Tint in as a Mechanical Error (Flip did not state Green Tint) back to PSA to have it annotated correctly. Now I am not so sure the graders will even know that there was an error done in the first place--they may send it back as it is now.

Laughing out loud.

Oh, that explains it then.

Doug--I sure hope this does not shake your confidence in the grading companies. They probably have a lot more competence than they are letting on

Someone asked me about the tells of the Baumann card, so here it is:

Here's another seller who blatantly sells regular cards as 'green tints.' When you do a search of '1962 tint' under joesvintagesportscardsii, he has 69 cards listed as green tints, and 18 of them are regular cards!! A whole bunch of them are entirely made up, as they aren't even numbered between 110-196. And all of the others are clearly the regular versions.

I sent him a bunch of messages saying they were NOT green tints and, of course, he just ignored it and deliberately listed more fake GT's today. That alone tells you all you need to know about this guy.

If you ever make your 62 Green Tint list available please email me a copy. I have not started the 62 set yet but I would be interested in doing both versions when I do.

Thanks

No argument intended here as to the listings Darren references above, but I have bought cards from Joe and consider him to be an honest and reputable dealer.
