I think people bid strong because they actually have a shot to get the grades advertised.

In 2011 I purchased three cards from a raw set break of the 1982 Wrestling All Stars Series B.

Kerry Von Erich advertised as Mint graded Mint a Pop 2 eight years later.

Jesse Ventura advertised as Mint graded Mint.

Greg Valentine advertised as Mint graded Mint.

My last purchase was another Kerry Von Erich advertised as NM-MT and graded NM. Borderline grade and I feel could have gone either way.

He has great scans, fair grading and fast shipping. Hard to beat.

I think the bottom line is, you only bid up to the amount that you think a card is worth, then there are no problems. If you bid more, and someone keeps bumping up your bid, who's fault is that? Smart bidding equals winning everything at a fair price but also losing on over priced cards. I've won some Greg Morris cards and lost some too, but the ones that I won, I got at great prices.

The biggest issue is why in the heck are people bidding during the first 6.9 days of the auction? The only thing that matters is the bid at the end. Not who leads with four days remaining. Set a snipe bid. Put it on your watch list to look at with 10 minutes to go. Why are there 39 bids on that card?
Don't people know anything about bidding? Or are they all paying with Monopoly money?

Ever look at a PWCC auction LOL? High bid goes to 60, 70, 80 percent within a day, frequently.

Gotta chime in and say I�ve got some great deals with Greg Morris over the last few years and had great customer service when a shipment went missing. Cheap shipping to Canada too, which allows me to bid a bit more than I might otherwise.

My thoughts exactly.... his grading of raw cards is pretty accurate. I bought some for my raw sets...but I'm sure if I sent them in to get it graded, it would come back as the grade advertised. Ricky Y

I'll put in my 2 cents.
I've bid on a lot of Greg Morris auctions. He does sometimes get some super great prices. But it is an auction. Decide what you want to pay and stick with it. You'll win some and lose some.
Some people have more money than time. Unfortunately , I have more time than money. I'm going to shop around and try to find the best deal. I think other people aren't going to invest that time. They trust Greg Morris and are happy with the business they've done with him. I think it's as simple as that.
I never felt shill bidding was going on. When I do win items from him, it's a price that I like.

And I'll add my 2 cents. I've bid on GM cards, probably a thousand in the past year. I've only won less than 100.
Snipe what you think they are worth!
Early this year I returned about 20 cards because I didn't think they were quite the grade advertised. Their customer service politely explained that even though they offer returns it is difficult to service their sellers with a high number of returns. I agreed and am more careful on the cards that I am looking to buy.
I agree that some bidders are looking for that "nm-mint or better" card that will grade as a 10.

To me the whole issue here is what fuels the grading companies pockets with money. From people’s responses above it appears that these cards are selling raw in the above auction at these levels because the prospective buyer thinks they will get a 8.5 or a 9 and then Gold Jerry Gold....Ugh. Grading Companies Make Out again...Seller Makes out Again....another reason why parties say nothing and the same issues continue. I also find it fascinating that in person at shows people are way more afraid to buy raw then on line-guess they don’t trust their own eye in person and want the money back guarantee from. eBay....idk.
It’s in the masses minds that Everyone Makes A Buck from The PSA grading Game....Dealers....buyers....collectors and investors......until
This mind set stops a certain level of fraud and manipulation will always be in this industry you can Shill You Can Crack You Can Work....It’s obvious Many people have and are still profiting so the beat goes on.....you have to sleep in the bed you made....other then a few good guys on here I don’t see anything changing.

So you had to return at least 1 in 5 cards you purchased because the seller over graded them. Then the did accept the return(s) but complained about it. I guess I would be more careful with them also.

My 2 cents. I think they do a better job at guessing the grade than most.

I do find it strange that they have so many bidders like the one I posted earlier. That bidder had 488 bids in the last month on 104 different items. 100% of those bids are with GM. That averages out to 16 bids a day with only 1 seller and the bidder rarely if ever wins anything.
