Great post Jake. I have been doing that for years. As long as the seller is honest I have no problem buying altered card. I got a 39 Ted Williams rookie cheap because it was altered.

Yes, it all comes down to pricing. Everything has a financial value, but it matters what is the value. If you're pricing everything as altered-- or, at least, as if it isn't not altered--, you have no financial issue. The only practical problem is some rube will price it as a PSA unaltered 7.

Almost every segment of Memorabilia already has its fakes, fantasies, and reproduced items. Whether it’s autographs, photos, Pennants, Statues, trophies, engraved relics, bobble heads, contracts, game used items, antique equipment or ad signs, there is always someone ready and willing to pass off bogus items as being old and original.
The only remedy is to know your stuff. And that only comes from years of learning and experience... and making some mistakes along the way (we all have). And for the umpteenth time, there is nothing wrong with restoration as long as it’s properly described and disclosed. As for the untold number of outright fakes... slimy characters exist wherever the perception of easy money resides. Luckily for Memorabilia collectors, there is no PSA (or other self-proclaimed expert) taking our money in exchange for bogus grading scales and the inability to tell real from fake. |

yeah, the seller doesnt have to do that or sell the card to that guy but overall prices will fall as less buyers will in the buyer pool , and for a card thats $2000, if the money is already going to be paid if the card proves ok on a regrade then i can see sellers doing that if the purchase price would make them enough profit. |

but if you are only being offered a psa 5 offer for a psa 7 card because of concerns of trimming altered debacle and you now have a psa 7 offer price worth thousands more, i can see sellers willing to wait, especially with a shrinking buyer pool who are buying the holder and not the card.. i think the new ebay mantra will change from 'worthy of a bump' to 'confirmed not altered' Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 07-10-2019 at 08:11 AM. |
