Questions about the hobby

[Rhotchkiss]

What happened with those two Johnson’s is just not right. I understand PSA gets more than SGC, but the PSA was inferior and pulled more than double. I am throwing the flag on that one- very fishy. As for the rest, I think there are people out there spending stupid money. The National will be telling- if you see a ton of new faces, then there is a ton of new money. I suspect that is the reason in most cases. And of course, the new money pushes the old money to reach for things.

What's happening in the hobby? A lot of stupidity imo!!!!! There are many "mindless" "investors/collectors" walking around brainwashed like zombies muttering...PSA...PWCC. They see Forbes articles touting the powers of investing in BB cards when the data is being presented by the marketing machines of PWCC...PSA...who are getting fat with cash because of it.

It's similar to reading the business news and some analyst who has a vested interest in a given security is touting that security.

Time will tell...but these such increases are not sustainable.

With many auction houses now "allowed" by their rules to SHILL up their lots...if you don't think this is happening with PWCC...you're DUMB!

I had someone bring in one of these Gretzky cards a week ago which brought this to my attention. It is a Gretzky room key promo from the National with a picture of a Gretzky card on the front so it is not actually autographed or numbered. There are 4 sold listings. One sold in a lot with a McDavid for $12. PWCC sold 3 of them for between $130-170 each time it “sold”.

This is probably worth about $5-10 to a Gretzky collector who needs to have every card IMO.
