Goldin Auctions - WWG set

[Herpolsheimer]

I was the winner of the World Wide Gum Complete set in the recent Goldin Auction (+/- $50 K). I have been working on this set for four years and decided to go all in as the cards are just too scarce to buy individually. I am happy with the purchase even though many of the top cards have been altered according to PSA. What bothers me after the win is that the promotion on the auction was:

"1934 V354 World Wide Gum (Canadian Goudey) Baseball PSA-Graded Complete Set (96) - Featuring Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Tris Speaker - #1 on the PSA Set Registry"

However, the set appears to be the #4 set on the PSA Registry and at the time of the auction it appears that the top three were already established since 2005 as the three higher ranked sets. The set I purchased is not #1. I have paid but feel ripped off and lied to. Below is the definition of fraud from the Merriam Webster website.

"fraud

Synonyms of fraud

1a : deceit, trickery
specifically : intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right
was accused of credit card fraud

b : an act of deceiving or misrepresenting : trick
automobile insurance frauds


The link to the PSA Registry is Below where my set is clearly #4:

I don't know much about the registry. What does it mean for a set to be retired?

LOL, you can't be serious? *facepalm*

It means those cards are no longer in their registry inventory.

Thanks for answering my question. From the description in the auction listing:

"With its 4.15 GPA, this assembly, as published to account for 96 cards, merits "#1 Current Finest" placement on the PSA Set Registry"

So it looks like the description was accurate.

First click on the PSA link you provided. Then scroll down the page and you will come to a second section titled Current Finest. After that then you decide on what is best.
