could be one of the biggest aution "ripoffs" in history

Research??????

Did the bidders even look at the card? Forget the slip, does that card look near mint to anyone????? Crazy.

I'm pretty sure I know who the buyer was and from what I know the SGC Plak will not crossover. The buyer wants this for his PSA master set. While I can agree the price is off the charts the collector only wants the highest graded cards and pays dearly for them. That is not the way i collect but to each his own and if they have that kind of money more power to them.

For the record, the few times I have had cards in the "old" SGC slabs, they moved into the new slabs at the same grade.

I know SGC will re-evaluate the old to new crossovers in their slabs. My 2 that I have done, pre-war, both crossed over from SGC92 to SGC92......I have to believe the SGC 96 would at least get a 7 or better.....which would have only saved the buyer 20k..... and is probably chump change to the buyer if they are spending that coin on that card. regards

This has been my experience as well.

Was I enjoyed reading what Steve was bringing. Yes I know that belonged in BST but I liked the idea of "highlights you are bringing to the National" Maybe we can start a sthread like that tonight

So what would I rather have.....

a 1951 Bowman Bob Dillinger or a 1914 Boston Garter Tris Speaker?

even more crazy than original topic IMO, look at lots #6 and #86




PS. "High Book" in the SCD is $17.50 for Dillinger, and $30,000.00 for Speaker
