Say what you want about PWCC.................

I am a long time Ebay seller with over 2,000 feedbacks and 100% positive FB rating. Here's my 1956 Mantle SGC 92 8.5 (old holder) I sold not long ago on Ebay for $8,700 and here's the 1956 Mantle SGC 8.5 (new holder) that was just sold on Ebay by PWCC for $15,656 (just by slapping a little HE sticker on the card)
I also sold a 1956 Mantle PSA 8.5 not long ago through another auction house for a disappointing $9,500 before the 20% BP
I'm consigning future high end items to P WCC where buyers don't pay 20% BP's and I pay a reasonable consignment fee.

Agreed Russ. Consignors with PWCC receive a nice premium above and beyond the Consignment fee for the HE cards.

That's why he gets my consignments. I often net more than I would have even asked in a private sale.

I listed a well centered PSA 1.5 #149 Ruth on the BST for $1800. No takers. I sent it to PWCC and it sold for $2300. So I netted more even with their commission taken out.

Is that the exact same card or just the exact same grade? One appears sharper than the other.

Bobby might be onto something. The rough cut on the top border seems to have disappeared. The bottom card seems to have slightly wider left and right white borders. The corners also appear sharper. The serial numbers also don’t match. I can’t imagine SGC is deleting the old serial number and issues a new number for a reholdered card? This would destroy their pop report.

Exact same grade
Bottom card went for the higher price

All of which suggests that one is pretty much guaranteed to be paying absolute top dollar if bidding in a PWCC auction, correct ?

It's fascinating to me how their "brand" has been so well received by both buyers and sellers. People don't seem to mind paying record prices as long as it's with PWCC because somehow their auctions are considered a more true indication of the market, which, in turn, makes you feel like haven't overpaid....no matter how much you overpay.

I don't necessarily believe so. I have won some auctions with PWCC, where I was at or below what I expect the card to sell at.

The high end stuff really goes, but I see some mid-grade items that are won below many asking prices on the 'bay.

I think it's an over generalization that everything they sell goes above VCP, SMR, or whatever metric you're using. I've read many posts here, where consignors did not get near what they had hoped with PWCC.

This is a pretty good price for an item I just won:

It's amazing how the 719, 314 and 368 bidders (all 100%) have no interest in anything else on eBay from any other seller. Also, why would they bid like this? Is this how you bid when you're trying to win an auction?
