Really, PWCC?

They're not being transparent. Yes, they showed the flip, but they're clearly saying that PSA deemed it authentic, when that's not true. I agree that maybe it was a mistake. They haven't answered my inquiry yet.

To me it looks like they are showing PSA said it wasn't authentic with the "?", by showing the flip, and they are saying it is authentic. But yes they could have been more clear on the title.

Thanks to the board for flagging this. The title of this listing is indeed misleading and was a sloppy oversight on our part.

We are going to end the listing.

Hey Brent, thanks for the follow-up.

I would love to see the Cobb listed as missing paper which means it is roughly a PSA 2, and not a PSA 6, instead of the clever wording that is in place, to get people to bid as if it was a PSA 6.

But it IS a PSA 6! Even with the light scuffing on back, which PWCC called our attention to, it's still a 6! That's a major over-grade by their own standards or even by SGC's grading standards. You would think since it is Cobb, that it would be more strictly graded, but sheesh . . . I guess not.

The problem is not that it is in a 6 slab. It is that they use the wording 'paper pull' to describe paper 'loss'.

You can go onto Ebay and buy the winning McDonald's boardwalk game board game piece. You get a cut out of the game board. Same thing here. It is intentionally worded tricky to get maximum dollar for a card that does not deserve it. When was the last time you heard any paper loss called a 'pull'

Its intentionally worded too lighten the blow of the word 'paper loss' and help hide the fact the fact it is highly over graded. Additionally, I am sort of shocked that he would come here to address a problem, and leave this one, unattended.

Nothing like drawing the clock down on it. I know I am new here, but seriously. Leaving this unanswered is shameful at a minimum.

I think that assessment is a little harsh. PWCC didn't grade the card, and it certainly wouldn't be good for business to post a description saying something like "this card is way over graded." If that was your consignment I don't think you would appreciate it.

I have seen many auction houses use creative wording that makes flaws sound less severe than they are. Or not mention them at all. At least he drew some attention to it. It's up to the bidders to decide if it's worth PSA 6 money or not. It looks like at least a few bidders have decided it is.

I do prefer this description to one with three paragraphs about the history of t206 cards and a sentence or two about the actual card.

The other problem was brought to his attention directly. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Brent doesn't always have time to monitor these boards looking for issues people may have with his listings.
