Yup, with an extra zero or two on the price tag...

Leon, I agree with you. While it has always been the case that I scrutinize cards in flips, I now do so skeptically, rather than defaulting to truth. However, for some reason I am more willing to trust items sold in some AHs over other AHs.

Ryan, I think you have good reason to do so. I know in the past REA has stated that they thought items were overgraded, and I know on at least 1 lot this auction they disagreed with the TPG opinion and stated such. At this point, I would trust the opinion of folks at REA more than an unknown grader at PSA or SGC.

Same. It comes down to integrity. The people at REA have infinitely more of this than any TPG.

And if a card they sold was subsequently proven altered, I have no doubt they'd make it right (as opposed to the TPGs, who would provide nothing but futility, deflect the issue and make your life a living hell).

The future of high end vintage collecting is well rounded raw jumbos with obvious flaws.

I've thought about this very scenario....where the demand flips to low grade that has obviously not been messed with and the marketing goes like "Why have a 7 that's likely trimmed when you can have this remarkable, untouched 2 with over a century of honest wear?"

The population of unaltered pre-war cards will never go up...only down...which tends to be a driver of supply and demand.
