No, seriously though, aside from a few wobbles in this thread I think the board is serving its function well -- as the safeguard for folks who really care about the health of the hobby.
Jesse's concerns about reliable recourse for bidders who might be disappointed with their winnings are legitimate, especially in light of an AH with zero track record or existing ties to the community.

The Battles Brothers deserve credit for consistently fighting their corner and not running away, as well as criticism for being evasive regarding their grading and policies regarding raw cards.
Also severe judgment for picking a ridiculous name for their auction house, albeit a very minor transgression in the grand scheme of things

Great post. +1

They have zero track record in the industry or referenced dealings with anyone in the community on their own, despite referring to themselves as lifelong collectors. Their parents' notorious ebay account was recently shut down, closing their avenue to selling altered/photo shopped/misrepresented cards to the collecting community. Now, in a field that has too many auction houses already, a brand new entity arises. And for the lead auction, they offer the questionable inventory of their parents former ebay store. It does not pass the smell test.

And the names? War Eagle, Battlefield, Candiman? Better suited to racehorses than auction houses...

Just one guy's opinion.

Personally, I prefer ‘Love is a Battlefield Auctions’ in honor of the great Pat Benetar❤️
