Posted By: <b>dan</b><p>I have always had good dealings with Seth. He is knowlegable on the subject of pre-war material and has always answered me promptly. As far as grading, only trust PSA, they are perfect.

Seriously, you may have a browser "glich" and the larger images are not appearing for you.<BR><BR>If you can't see the larger images let me know what lots you'd like to see and I'll email them to you.<BR><BR><BR>For the record - I've had nothing but good experiences with Seth.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>19thCentury owner Seth Nagdeman (not sure about that spelling but close enough) has always been good to deal with. I am sure if you email him and ask for bigger scans on cards you are truly interested in he will send them. He has somewhat of an association ( not in any grading sort of way ) with SGC so his grading standards "should" parallel theirs....I am not saying positively but I do know he talks to them a lot.....and Seth is very knowledgable and courteous.....the only issue I have ever had with his auctions are that sometimes the opening bids are at/or above full retail... this is not his fault as his consignors dictate a lot of the entry level price points as opposed to other auction houses that dictate their own. Auction house business is probably getting a little tougher as of late and in order to get very many consigments I am sure the world must be given..........with all of that said he does usually have some neat items....good luck
