Jason LCharlie, thank you for your posts...I think your comments on volatility, competition, and margins have a great deal of merit, but it's important to add that while, yes, the marketplace needs various levels of meat left on the bone at different stages if it is to remain healthy, the REAL concern is the deliberate attempts to defraud and deceive...not that we all shouldn't be happy for the guy who gets a good deal now and again...-because your comments about human nature and the thrill of the chase are right on, of course! It's the evil-doers that we're concerned with...
Joe P.....WOW!....just, ya know,...wow
At least I can sleep at night knowing that my 1989 Fleer Rickey Henderson hasn't been tampered with! ...although the flip does have a PSA 90 on it, which I thought rather odd...
No, I would not pay more for a single grader's name on a company's flip, because that would just give me reason to wonder if the company was charging me 10x the price to put his name on it, when it's really just a "ghost signature" so to speak, and that having his name on it simply meant that the card was graded in the same room that his team is in...you see how fast that goes askew???? You see, 10x the price would simply cause someone in corporate to ask, "Umm, why can't we funnel more volume through that?"
