I knew it would have that effect. If you have Charles Schwab telling you that a certain stock is good, then of course you are going to listen to him, and many people will buy the stock, pushing it up. These are the same pool of bidders that bid on an Art Shell PSA 10 card that looked like a '6' at best. These are the same pool of bidders that bid ungodly amounts on raw cards that look nowhere near as good in hand and they could care less. Nothing surprises me.

Personally, I'm going after one of these cards. If I win, I'm going to get one of these exceptionally rare "calibur" error certs slabbed (who cares about the card) and then consign it back to PWCC and pray for the "high end" designation...

Imagine that: A "certified high end" "certified high end" error cert. $$$

In all seriousness, I'm actually a satisfied PWCC customer. On a relative basis, way better than 90% of what is on eBay. Yep, you pay a premium, but the scans are decent, the descriptions are factual, the communication is responsive and helpful, the shipping is quick and well packaged.

From someone that just got back into the hobby a few years ago, I think that PWCC makes the old "buy the card, not the grade" adage easier to grok and execute against. Is this needed for really experienced collectors? Probably not. But for the rest of us, it really helps fill a void in the marketplace.
