As but one example off the top of my head, a Goudey Ruth in a grade above 4. Good luck finding that on ebay and not with one of these sellers. If there are 30 such Ruths sold a year on ebay PWCC probably sells 25 of them.

And the oddball sellers who have one for sale, the winning bidders turn around and consign the card with PWCC as soon as it gets in their hands. To me, that is a problem, and helps intensify the PWCC/Probstein phenomenon. No one wants to sell the cards themselves, because they feel like they are leaving money on the table. If some of these bidders would supports sellers other than those two guys.......I guess that's a pipe dream though.
