Wow.........I much prefer my PSA 6.5. Somebody (two) must have really wanted a PSA 7. Registry inflation...........

Couple days ago a 1952 Bowman Mays PSA 8 closed on eBay. I had it on my radar, even put in a bid, haha, got squashed! It went for $ 5,958. - whew!

I'm not a crazy person about centering, but I don't like that one at all. Disconcertingly off center.

But hey, if you're not wild about the centering, this Mays does have one thing going for it - the seller was guess who.

It's also on the really old PSA flip, so would get a much harsher grade if re-submitted. That is definitely a registry play or some serious shilling, or perhaps some market manipulation to get the VCP average to look generous before it is re-offered in the next PWCC auction.
I bet we see this card again.

It is our favorite seller to bash. That said it looks like the top bidder really did want it as, it looks like, he put in another safety bid at the end. I am not sure how I can get to manipulation with someone wanting it that badly. I think it gets someone a half point higher in the registry, seriously. I hear that for some the registry game is like crack to an addict.

First one sold in 6 months. Maybe just a case of 2 guys who were tired of waiting and wanted the card either for a set or a Mays run. Either way it's nice to see and not necessarily a sign of something nefarious. I agree I'd expect to see better centering when an ATH is hit, but not everyone is as concerned with perfect centering as I am.

Me personally, I don't bash PWCC, not do I feel others do. I have never had a problem with Brent. They do a great job at what they do. I feel as though what people have a problem with is the shennanigans (sp?) that seems to go on with some of their auctions. Is that PWCC's fault or the consignor's fault? I guess PWCC can do a better job of policing things, but how hard is it to do when they run that many individual auctions?
