Glue staining & paper losses on the reverse, but a FAB 2!!! I think, anyway...but NOT at $150...

(1) A "2" that presents as a "7" isn't going to sell for $25.

(2) yepbg prices all of his cards 2-3x market and only comes down about 10-20% on best offers. It's not worth dealing with him, you might as well not look at any of his listings.

But I'm the idiot

Well...your offer definitely is low for that card, regardless of whether his ask price is high or not.

He may have called you an idiot because you said it is not a 50 dollar card, and it likely is, then shot him an offer of half of that. If I were a low grade collector that would be a dream deal for 50 bucks, to own a card that looks that good with such minor issues.

If it were a 7, you would be paying 400 to 600 for it.

[Joshchisox08]

Yes the front looks good but there's def some issues on the back. I still don't think it's a $50 card at least I wouldn't pay that for back damage.

Why offer 17% of the price? If someone has their cards overpriced in my opinion, I don't bother low balling them.

PWCC sold a PSA 5 or 6 cobb with what they describe as a 'tick mark' which ultimately to me is a small loss of paper.

They defended the PSA grade and would not change the description. The card brought top dollar. This is essentially the same thing. One would argue that it should be a 2, but others may argue that it could be a 5, based on how well it presents. If I am not mistaken they changed their standards to account for 'overall presentation'.

There is some staining on the back. That is likely the justification for the price Additionally, we are assuming it is missing paper. The scans are not that great and the listing doesn't say that it is missing paper, even though it likely is.

The front is 6 or 7, the back without the missing paper is a 5 with the staining and with the paper it is a 2. It is priced at the price of a 5. Generally I find that if you try to convince someone that their item is not that nice, then make an offer they are a lot less likely to take you seriously.

I always use the rule of NOPEBG for YEPBG auctions......................JMO.........

My experience with him has been that it very much depends on the card. I have offered 70% of his ask and he has come back and asked for 95%. But in other instances he has accepted my first offer. Odd but I'm sure he has his reasons. Maybe at some point he gets sick of carrying certain cards.
Guy has some really nice stuff. Doesn't owe anyone a low price. If you think he's not worth dealing with I get that. But I've been pleasantly surprised a few times.

Well. You sure showed them and the learned there lesson alright.

That message alone would be an automatic decline for me.

[rhettyeakley]

Insulting someone while making an offer on their card probably isn't the best way to negotiate.

He has high prices and I'm surprised he sells anything but they're his things and he can ask what he likes.
