The discussion of the volume up for sale (do we need to pretend there aren’t a ton up for sale to smooth peoples feelings?) occurred days after the freak out. Nobody did anything more than not participate in the pump and observe things that are demonstrably true (the toning, the back centering, it’s not a rookie, it is a DP, it has a lot of copies out there). He accused people of “bile” and doing things that no reading can possibly produce, like attacking Mickey Mantle (I’m happy to stand correct if anyone can find this post). Then he flipped out when asked to ID these posts he exaggerated to attack.
I do not see any rule or reasonable reason that people may not or should not post factually correct statements about a card that does not serve the interest of pumping and juicing it. People’s emotional response to not everything in the world adopting their exact perspective, while hardly even being negative about the 52 Mantle at all, only the grade of this particular one in comparison to SGC’s public and published standards, is on them.
Disclaimer again: Mickey Mantle is great. The 1952 Topps set is great. The 1952 Topps Mickey is a cool image and a great card
