Richard, that sandbagging won't work with me!

I won't be bidding. So you don't have bijoembux to worry about. :D

I'm the underbidder

All you guys were scared off by "Dibs!"?

I think they were scared off by Jeff saying he wouldn't spend a lot on the card.

Would you classify this as "just a head fake" or "outright obfuscation"?


:D

I'm going to have a bidding party and not win the card.

Let those with really thick skin begin their cries of protest.

sure
 

Just like all of the rest, huh? Unfortunately I don't think B and L has risen to the stature of people having these parties.....I am sure they are fun though.....(no doubt this accounts for some of those record prices :mad:)

I didn't realize Jeff is the consignor.

What is a bidding party? Is that when the big whales sit in the same room across from each other in front of their computers and flip each other off as they raise their bids? I have never been invited to one of those. :(

No, I would never bid on my own cards -- that's what friends are for.

Richard, you're way too sensitive for a bidding party. Toughen up a bit kid and you may get invited yet.

I'm not aware of bidding parties either. Do they have dancing girls?

Perhaps the reason the card received an authentic grade from SGC is because they are maintaining their consistency in grading all E93s with blank backs as authentic. I have many E93 blank backs and they are all graded as authentic. Many do not appear to be trimmed or altered but I guess the line of thinking is that they must be hand-cut and therefore received an authentic grade.

TBob,
I have some E93 blank backs too. I think those all got "Authentic" grades because they were all hand-cut.

Hello everyone,

Just as an update. We re-submitted this card to SGC at Hofstra. According to SGC policy, they will no longer give color variations or other such mysterious cards a numerical grade. However, the flip on the SGC slab will now read "black & white, blank back, unaltered".

Thanks,

James
