What the heck is that
Sounds ominous
Were the north Koreans involved
Did they hire the Chinese
Is it collateral damage from the Sony attack
this is what you get for pissing off Kim Jon Un (sp?)

Josh - you shouldn't have mentioned North Korea or the Chinese. Just tried to visit Lelands.com, and repeatedly received this message: 502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.

Thanks guys for the help.

Conclusion: I won, but didn't win. They gave the invoice to the other bidder even though I won. However, they were prompt in calling me and discussing the unique situation and we were able to resolve the problem.

Auction ends tonight, if there is an issue for a third straight I might not participate in their auctions again

I was bidding on a 1973 Reds signed bat that just vanished. No explanation.

I believe that is the result of a hidden reserve.

Happy to say there were no problems bidding for me last night.

I logged in and placed a bid but couldn't get back in to place another.

I really do not like that. As I pointed out earlier in the thread, I would prefer when a "lot" doesn't meet its price, it's still on the auction page for future reference.

I decided not to partake in this auction, so maybe it was different this month, but the things they do is very frustrating.

I was surprised that an edd roush bat with inch marks was called pro model .

Anyone have thoughts on that?

That link doesn't show it so maybe it was deleted?

I bought a bat a few yrs back of a HOF'er from them that I think was graded a 8. Consigned it to Goldin the following year and Taube PSA'd it as a pro stock. Luckily I got my money back from the Goldin listing, but that doesnt mean I was happy about it.

I was curious when i heard the term "imagery analysis". I dont collect jerseys but I've always seen the term "photo matched".
