No video either . Appears they only wanted to highlight people giving them a chance.

Based on the bidding, their auction is going to be reasonably successful. They'll easily earn 5-figures at the end of the day. Well done to the board for making all of the necessary points to them.

It just makes me a bit sad to see -- it's one thing for a seller like Kevin Savage to list truly expertly and honestly graded raw cards in an online auction.
It's another to have what looks like cynical and overly-optimistic grading on raw cards, and from sellers in the hobby that nobody really knows.

It's an irresistible temptation to people's worst nature, thinking they are going to get a steal on a raw card.
Even if they never try to grade it, it's the preying on people's hopes and darker greed that really gets me.
We all want great cards for less money, but it's pretty simple -- Graded cards protect buyers.

Whatever. I have every faith the board will hold them accountable if there is a need to.

And there's only one Candyman, Battles bros -- Get it right...
We've got our (one) good eye on you

He talks a lot, but only about what he wants to talk about, creating the illusion of responsiveness.

I hope if anyone bids, they give us the results after they send them in. I for one am very curious. But the more I look at some cards, the more I think like some one said "ther could be gold in them ther hills"............................

I was just now outbid on the 56 nm+ mantle. I would have for sure let you guys know the result after I sent it to psa. I'm still considering jumping back in since it is a pretty card and it's for my PC

That was the card I was watching. I never bid, but I must have looked it over a dozen times. I just kept coming back to the fact that it's just the type of card that Battlefield would have cracked to sell raw. It also has the appearance of an 8, and no worse than 7. If it isnt altered and doesn't have some other hidden flaw, they left several thousand dollars on the table by not grading. That's what kept me from jumping.
