Goodwin Auction has some very nice cards...

Jeff- I think we know the answer to your question.

I'm wondering why a company would have 2 or more grading services? Anyone? And if a company has more than one service, can we trust either one?

update -NY up 2 in the 5th

How about GAI? I am always a bit hesitant to buy a GAI card. Why haven't those been crossed to PSA or SGC? At least GAI has some credibility.

The obvious answer is that they won't cross, right?

I don't get to involved (yet) with these types of auctions, but there is one lot that I'm particularly interested in.

Jeff- Not so sure about the GAI. Some of those cross to a higher grade. It's a crapshoot. Doesn't look like the BCCG would. Personally, I can't get excited about graded cards unless they are SGC or PSA. I know they have their problems too, but it seems more legit.

I was referring to the two SBC cards in the Goodwin auction. Obviously the reason they are still in those holders is because they didn't cross.

Nice EPDG backed T206 Lundgren. I remember talking with Ted Z. at his table at the national about how challenging that combination is.

I'd like to chime in with a question & comment. I have never understood why a buyer's premium is attached to these type auctions. I have to pay an additional fee for the right to purchase an item? Where else in society does this apply?

I can't think of one. Say what you want about Ebay, at least it's a simple "pay what you bid" system. And 17.5% seems ridiculously high. If you want $117.50 (for a $100 card) just make the minimum bid $117.50.
