I have no idea...but if they'd trust an appraisal from a dealer whose been dealing vintage for less yrs than my youngest underwear...why not?

It seems like people would inflate the value of their collection, but your point it well taken.

You are going to have to pay the inflated premium on an inflated value. If you say your collection is worth $1 million. You are going to pay a higher premium that if you say your collection is worth $100,000.

The important thing is to have an inventory list of everything you have.

Who is the guy with the crazy card prices on ebay? I wonder what he values his inventory at

The wife is starting to go on offense. "You know if you sold a few cards like you are always telling me you can, then we could............."

A bone-chilling turn of events.

Nice victory's. I think REA sold my SGC 20 McGraw POR for $3K. It was extremely clean and bold just creased once. Of course this was a few years back and before the rare back prices jumped and it was a new catalogued card so only one known. I imagine those beauts are $5k+ easy.

Mine sold in 2011:

Archived thread (I found the card raw at a try-star show in KC sold as a t206).

I understand the higher premium. My concern is that without independent confirmation the process seems very susceptible to fraud.
