Blatantly Trimmed & Graded Old Judges in Goodwin Auction

[Rich Klein]

Question:

Do you all feel that it is the job of the auction house to ferret out this cards wrongly graded or is the job of the auction house to put up the cards for sale and let the public decide?

Thanks!

To me it is just good business sense even if not a legal one.

I believe they should be compelled by their own reputation to find these issues. It is their advertising and the entity that will receive the payment. So it is on them to best represent the item so as to assure that their customers are not put off by their selling of a card that wasn't accurately described.

As someone who works for an auction house, do things slip through the cracks? Absolutely. If we spot something do we keep quiet and hope for the best? Absolutely not.

Pretty much this. An auction house isnt going to catch every single issue, but if they know it exists; I believe they should be compelled to disclose.
