Barry doing well, thanks for asking and you?
I had thought of that also but trying to give these guys the benefit of doubt and not try to bash etc.
But if it was missed that in itself is even more scary. I mean I understand a common card with hundreds of examples going in and out a day missing the clean job. But a card of this magnitude and in the information age we live in with online archives for tons of public transactions. Then take a card like this with a tell tale birth mark that's clear as bell and you miss this seems really sad.
These guys make a decent living how hard could it be to check the net on recent sales of any card in the say 20k+ range that comes across your desk.
I took one look and said that's the card from REA last year...heck and it’s a hobby for me not a business.
Cheers,
John
