Ebayer 'collectors' ripe for plucking

[slidekellyslide]

Someone paid $1,170 for this cutout of a picture of Nolan Ryan from a Sporting News magazine. Not ever was this meant to be cut out yet PSA for some reason felt it should be slabbed. As far as I know they still won't slab a skinned N172 Old Judge card.

Hey, it's in the PSA registry, so it must be valuable!

Exactly! PSA just printing money by accepting this garbage. If PSA doesn't recognize this in their registry nobody would pay a dollar for it.

PSA does the same nonsense in slabbing a magazine cut out from a 1973 wrestling annual that contains a very early Andre the Giant "card."

How valuable can that Nolan Ryan Sporting News cut out really be? It isn't even gem mint. Can I interest you in a $4,995 Andre the Giant cut out from the '73 wrestling annual that was graded PSA 10?

Ebay currently has four PSA 9s for sale of the same newsprint "card" for $995 that have been cut out of that magazine.

Hey, don't mock! It's POP 1! It's rarer than a T206 Wagner!!!11!!1!1!!

It goes without saying that the Ryan is one of the most ridiculous things PSA has done.

And in addition, how did it get a number grade?

They have been known to grade nicely cut cards.

A hand cut Gem Mint 10? Damn, those are some steady hands!

pluck me? no, no, no. pluck all of you!


who needs worthpoint, because maybe it was this banned idiot?

perhaps it was because he already had every possible version of his 68 card?

and maybe it was because he already had the #1, #2, #3 and #4 basic ryan sets?

could be he's just a hardcore ryan fan and simply likes oddball sh!t.

or it could be the fact that they aren't graded anymore, thus only leaving 5 examples in slabs.

hell, maybe he likes to laugh at psa too and could just have it merely as a conversation piece.

or he simply likes the fact of ya'll talking shit while you guys probably have some random turd blossom in your collection that you think smells like roses and resembles the exact same thing you're fucking mocking?

he may have snagged it b/c he finds it funny you are actually attempting to step inside another collectors head and try to figure out what makes the motherfucker tick?

(good luck on that one by the way.)

truth be told, he bought it to prove your mom's ol adage of "be careful of who and what you say, as the mofo could be sitting right next to you!"

actually he just sent out a tweet or whatever the hell that is saying #hashtag he really doesn't give a fuck and bought it simply because he could.


funny thing is, i heard this idiot actually has oceanfront property in arizona as well.

hell, i even caught my first marlin there. right off the back of the bus w/ some 20lb test and a cane pole.

now, seriously. listen to mom this time. go wash behind your ears and for christ's sake, brush those fn teeth...and maybe ya should simply keep talking about which of ya'll shilled who and how ya'll screwed each other over. sure i paid $1170 for it, but my name isn't anywhere on the shill list. in fact, most of ya'll got shilled more than that! so one could say, i got it for free.

and who said "shillvary is dead"?

that rant truly had to be worthy of the ban, right?

it's fucking sad.

"i hold myself in contempt"







































don't think I really need to post the 82 and on, but who knows w/ this group.

[begsu1013]

but f***, let's roll out the opc while we are at it...



69 card does not exist.





72 card does not exist, other than mets team card. ehh.

Bob, your anger is misplaced. You had the #1, 2, 3 and 4 basic Ryan sets and PSA played a nasty joke on you by slabbing a picture out of a magazine that quite clearly was never meant to be cut out. You should have told PSA to go to Hell.

WHAT?? PSA graded a piece of newsprint cut out from a Sporting News? And it was bid up to $1170. WHAT??
Was the edition of Sporting News that this came from a "short print?" Did most of the issues get burnt up before hitting the newsstand?
The list of crazy in this hobby is as long as anyone can imagine but this one has to rank in the top 10.
