Scott, I hope that’s not a guilty conscience popping up here?
I never compared you to Chan in any way sorry if you think I have you should have no reason to feel like that dirt bag.
I only said I think you guys should know better on this one. Think about it for a second…
REA says no way
Collectors say no way
SGC says no way, our bad
Yet you still proceed with auction why?
Easy the same reason a lot of folks do they can hide behind third party mistakes. Which has become the norm and it’s a very sad thing.
If you’re dad is wrong which is likely the case no skin of your back or the auction houses back ughh. The third party grading company gets the bill, and the poor winning bidder gets a bad taste in his or her mouth with a large purchase.
In the end I have little sympathy for the TPG as it’s their business and they know the risk of returns. They also should make the effort to gain the knowledge to avoid these situations from the start.
However that doesn’t mean we should abuse their overall lack of knowledge on a particular issue when we can which is often done. The real sympathy goes out to the collectors who get bummed by missing a needed c ard or having a troubling buying experience within our hobby.
I think collectors the caliber of your dad and yourself and others here. Owe the hobby a little more than hiding behind slabs.
We knew cards before these folks came along we should be big enough and honest enough when cards like this come up to really set the pace for others. By doing real due diligence work and making 100% sure not only our opinions on a card are satisfied but the collecting community stands behind it as well…it’s just better that way for everyone that way IMO.
Added if this card was Brown SGC wouldn’t be changing their minds and if you really had big coin in this card I would think you and your dad would remember the details of such a unique card presented in an SGC holder? (dont be mad at my joke image, really wanted to use this
)
I can't help but think you would remember when it was bought, for how much and who it came from, the details behind the card and the story. I would think you would have this prior to requesting money from SGC.
You certainly wouldn’t be so easy to say “hey if SGC thinks it’s not brown it’s all good will take a bath, we just don’t like the snide comments” that just doesn’t add up to me Scott.
Not mad or anything just confused and a little disapointed. You guys know cards way to well for this story to click and make any sense to me. Perhaps I'm putting you guys on a higher pedstal than I should and that's where the disapointment is coming from on my end.
Cheers,
John
