Here is the thing: it seems sometimes like some members of this board consider a $10 card as only fit to be folded in half and used to shim up a wobbly chair. To others, there is more inherent value there. So, I would be less dismissive of the consignor in this scenario and consider a couple of questions:

1. If the cards in question are of such limited value, why would PWCC accept consignment of them in the first place?
2. What does PWCC do with the forfeited cards? Are they consigning them to a seller like Greg Morris, for example, and keeping the proceeds for themselves?

I mean, I get that PWCC would rather deal with the cards that generate higher premiums. I don't fault them for that. Just as I don't fault Goldin for their focus on the high end. Define your niche and exceling in it is a sound business strategy. But, when I consider the range of answers to these two questions, I have to wonder about their commitment to being a good hobby citizen.

It would be helpful to see the list of the 3000 lots that were not bid on in the inaugral auction to see what we are actually talking about because, to a certain extent, I think we all may not be thinking the same thing.
