Thanks for posting this, even if others have I didn't see it before now. I'll be watching for sure.

I hear it is channel 355 (CNBC as mentioned) on Direct TV....can't wait...

[Stonepony]

I'm seated and ready

If any CDN's know what channel this is on, I'd appreciate the info, but I think I/we am SOL, sadly.

Just received a PM. Channel 79 here in Oshawa with Rogers cable.

There should be a rule: If you own a 1933 Goudey Lajoie, you have to be able to pronounce his name correctly.

Absolutely Correct !!!

And also not claim that it's the 2nd rarest card out there. Half the members on this board probably have something rarer

Was just flipping through channels and found it on now!

Fascinating to quote Mr. Spock

Can anyone explain the Goudey Ruth 53 initially in a low grade SGC and then in a PSA 6? What was the story behind that?

Totally agree here. Interesting that PSA substantially upgrades an SGC graded Ruth for Mastro. Especially when any SGC card submitted to PSA now would get a downward adjustment. Yet PSA cards bring a premium over SGC? Not that SGC is better than PSA (or BVG), or vice versa, but man.....

Nice job Jeff and Ryan !! Tonight's show was informative
and remembering watching the FBI floating around the Nationals was always fun.

[Orioles1954]

I know Ryan and can vouch for his character. He came off very well tonight. The show didn't seem cohesive or very well put together. The Evers fellow added nothing to the program in my opinion.

[JTMRedSox]

Can anyone explain the difference in grading on the Ruth Goudey ?
I am searching for the catalogs that first had it in a group and then was sold separately . Can anyone identify the two different catalogs in question ? I believe the first offer ( by group ) was Dec. 2007 . When was it offered as a PSA 6 as individual lot ?
Again , assuming it was the same card , I've seen no good explanation for the discrepancy in grading ( different companies aside ) .

According to Evers it appeared in an auction 6 months later.

[Corporal Lance Boil]

Forgive me for what I about to say. Most people won't care, anyway.

What a boring episode of American Greed. I set the DVR and was excited, et al, and literally had to pinch myself to stay awake.

Not only did I not learn anything new about the scandal, but that was just bad television.

The guy that paid 500 bucks for a box of cards from an unknowledgable seller is just as bad in my opinion.

A guy who ripped off an old man and turned $500 into $49000 probably should not be going on tv griping that someone cheated him

I hope Brent and Betsy at PWCC are watching!

As I was watching the show on how the Wagner card was altered, I keep thinking of the 1936 Joe Dimaggio rookie debacle with PWCC.

[ngnichols]

Haven't seen anything I wasn't already aware of that had happened or is currently happening with auction houses that are on eBay right now.

Poor guy who made only 49k on his $500 garage sale purchase. I'm sure he went back to the guy he bought them from and said "I ripped you off. Here is 24k." He's whining about getting ripped off when he raped the guy for $500. Can't say I felt for him. I will say that I would kill for that Dihigo postcard Ryan has.

Isn't lichtman on this site?

Yes, and irrespective of whatever his detractors want to say, Jeff was one of, if not the first, people to call Mastro and Allen out He gets lots of credit from me for that. Ryan Christoff is also a member and he also deserves a ton of credit. Fair is fair.

As one of those who defended Mastro and company in the early days of Jeff Lichtman's outing of their misdeeds, I have concluded that I owe him an apology. At the time, it seemed unfair to tar them without offering specific proof, but if I had taken the time to look into Jeff's background I would have realized how qualified he was, from several standpoints, to be making those allegations. At any rate, anything that helps clean up the hobby is worthy of plaudits, so good work, Jeff!
