Well, everything is still affordable! Most lots have stabilized at $100. That's promising. |

This is the "Classic" auction as opposed to the "Premier" auction that just ended. They need to have a 3rd "REALLY classic" one where I could afford something. |

I started a thread before the last Mastro auction and I think it will hold true until something changes at Mastro. If you want to buy something out of Mastro, you should either call and have someone describe the card over the phone, or go and see the lot if you have the ability. |

Their writing is so over the top I don't even bother with their descriptions on single cards. |

We addressed this in a thread several months ago but were unsuccessful in persuading them to be a little more succinct. |

I agree that the one manontherock is selling is far superior to the one in Mastro. |

Jim, you are right on in your complaint about the writing: what is the audience they're targeting? The British upper crust of the Victorian era? Or is it the automatic thesaurus at work. Stilted (artificially formal) prose. |

I had forgotten about the card being sold by manontherock - I agree, it does look nicer than the mastro cobb and its only a GAI 3. |

You can not go by the grade that GAI gives a card. They are all over the board in their grading regulations. The one that manontherock has is a beauty and should (but will not) sell for more than Mastros. Some people buy the grade and others buy the card. |

Does anyone think it is unusual that the above Cobb was said to have been graded by GAI last week? Who would submit a card like that to GAI today, knowing that it will sell for less than an SGC or PSA card? |

there is a bit of paper loss on the GAI 3 cobb. I would only buy GAI cards in person where I can closely look at the card. Much like Kyle Farnsworth's pitching, their grading is all over the place. |

There are a couple of spots of paperloss on the reverse of the GAI 3 - Im sure it went to GAI because GAI does not seem to care about minor paperloss on the reverse. SGC would give the card no better than a 30. PSA is a crap shoot as to how it deals with paperloss - probably would get anywhere from a 2 to a 5. |

For all you guys who gripe about trimmed cards, I am assuming none of you will be bidding against me on the E94 Cobb, right? |

for those of you who want to bash GAI....note this...their grading is much more consistent now and tougher (and has been for some time now) with cards (especially pre war)than psa has been since 2001 when the gai people (who were major players at psa 1991-2001)left psa......psa is the company that is all over the place in grading or lack of grading cards, and is causing quite a stir in the industry by alienating a lot of dealers and collectors alike...sgc does well with pre ww 1 cards, but the rest of their graded cards do not sell as well or bring top dollar, IMO....one note about paper loss...do not confuse paper loss with a poor or non existent print strike on a particular spot on a card...this has been pointed out to me many times with pre ww 1 cards when what I thought was paper loss was actually a spot where the print is missing due to a poor strike...not an actual paper tear/scrape/loss....you can tell the difference if you closely under a 10x power loop, but there is almost no chance to see this difference on a scan...now more times than not, it will be paper loss....but this print strike issue is more commonly found than most would think....gai has told me they do not take off as much with this print strike issue than with actual paper loss..which is the way it should be |

Im rolling - very funny Peter. To borrow from mastro, that "cobbian specie" is supreme. |
