I would classify these comments as calling someone stupid.



But you're trying to rationalize it. You can't. I'm the same way with grading. For the life of me, I don't understand why someone cares about what someone else thinks about their card. It blows my mind. What makes someone submit a card to be graded? Are they really that ignorant of hobby standards that they can't look at a card and judge the condition for themselves that they need a 3rd party to do it for them? Do these same people seek advice about other things too? Do these same people need reassurance to tell them how pretty their wife is? How fine their home is? How nice their car is? If not, then why do they need someone to tell them the condition of their card?

I didn't use the word stupid. I did say ignorant, but ignorant is a lack of knowledge. It was appropriate to my example (someone unfamiliar with hobby standards). Stupid is a lack of intelligence. I didn't say or infer that.

Nice try though.

Some people are perfectly happy with the eye appeal of a 7, with a slight wrinkle. Since the advent of Ebay, the only way to try to get a handle on unseen defects is through grading. If you dont care, then there are plenty of reputable raw card dealers on Ebay. Sometimes they even get higher than the graded prices, and, although it could be my naivety, I can only assume it's on speculation the card "could grade higher"

Call me a conspiracist, but other than a few deep pockets who don't care about resale value, I have a hard time thinking people pay more money for the opinion of some "kid in Oswego".

Blowout proved a sinple search can reveal many of these cards are trimmed and resold through the same company. This means not only people BUYING the card did not research the last sales, but people LISTING the card didn't even check their own price history. I mean heck, some of these are numbered!


Seems a little hard to swallow, and I do believe there are very few "coincidences"

Um okay. Some nice synonyms associated with it.

Go play with your wrestling cards and let the grownups talk baseball cards

If it works for PWWC, maybe it will work for me. I have also implemented the sticker system.

If they start stickering cards that are worst for the grade, here is a candidate.

This had me dying

VintageToppsguy,

First of all, you have no right to poke fun at what other people collect. Wrestling cards are great and some of them sell for quite a bit of money. They have a great future.

Secondly, your comments just remind me of all the guys who laughed at me when I showed them my Pele rookies. Why don't you go on Heritage auctions right now and look at the past sales prices. They are selling for a sh*tload.

And finally, yeah, wrestling is made up, but when a 280 pounder slams you head first, and you feel like you're going to die - THAT is real pain, buddy.

Have a nice day

This clowns posts are comical.

There are only two cards from the 80's in a Mint grade that sell for more than this card. Both are Michael Jordan cards.

He can make fun of me all he wants. I find it very entertaining.
