LEW LIPSET - BLOCKED BIDDER

[Archive]

Posted By: Richard L.

I had a very similar transaction with LL about 12 years ago, as I also purchased some non-sport cards from him. It wasn't the overgrading that bothered me, but the note he sent in replying to what I told him the cards value was. He sent a photocopy of the price guide stating my oppinion was "bull****" and here's the proof.Every price guide I've ever seen always made some mention that the "prices" are only to be used as a "guide". I've been collecting nonsport for a long time and have a good handle on values. The funny thing is I bought those cards from someone else 5 years later, at what I thought they were worth and were advertised as "ex" in condition, and "ex" in my book is what I got! I too, don't intend on ever bidding in his auctions again!
