J LevineAsk TJ how he hypes stuff...in the past he would hype stuff for Tuff Stuff that was being sold in his shop. Many Los Angeles area collectors (not all) and many Los Angeles dealers (again, not all) know this fact and often complained about it within the hobby. But that is for another thread. TJ is great at hype. He did not find the set...he worked on buying it for a significant amount of time. Is it a significant set...not really other than some of the truly rare cards. Are these cards any different than any others? Nope...that is why if I ever get my hands on that Gretzky/McNall card, I shall break it out...there should be no extra value attached just because of a label...Pure hype and PSA should be ashamed. Should he be slammed for hyping his cards...not at all...but let him do it at a sale/auction not just to toot his own horn. Get your own website if you want to do that...
Did David Levin hype his Old Judges...in my opinion, no...he just posted he had a large find and then sold them...did not come on here and insist they be called "Oregon Find Levin Old Judges" on any graded copies.
TJ reminds me of Mr. Mint...lots of bluster over little pieces of cardboard.
This is just all my opinion.
