Thanks, what happens in these instances? do people notify REA directly? Does REA read this board? do they take action? or does this just go through and sell for an outrageous price?

I am sure someone will call it to their attention promptly, if they didn't read it themselves.

what I don't understand about this hobby...
How is it possible that the most knowledgable, talented people are underground collectors as opposed to the institutions whose very own business depends on their expertise in this area?

In any other arena, TPGs would be out of business. Aren't TPG fees based on the card value? i would imagine fees from grading cards worth $50-100k would allow you to hire the people that can do this type of work.

Why don't these guys on blowout start a TPG company focused on high end cards?

Interested in seeing how these lots are handled, given the blowout evidence:
SGC 8, lot 11, is currently at $15k

PSA 3, lot 758, is currently at $3,600

There are two lots (991 and 1006) of 53 Bowman color singles that I'd love to own. I put in a bid on each lot, but I know that in the end, I won't be the winning bidder.

It looks like the cards have been taken down from the auction.

I've read a few posts about the joys of getting the REA Catalog in the mail so I decided to sign up for one this time around. It came today. My god - it's a coffee table book. It's incredible. And whomever posted about the smell a while back I couldn't agree more.

Several of the cards I'm interested in were "submitted by REA" Looks like an equal mix of SGC and PSA cards. My question is how do they decide which cards go to PSA and which go to SGC?

For example, there are 2 1933 Goudey #144 Ruths. The lesser one was submitted by REA to PSA and the better of the 2 to SGC. Why not both to PSA or both to SGC? I'm just looking for thought process here.

Also 1914 Cracker Jacks. Many submitted by REA. Some to PSA, most to SGC.

Looking forward to reading input on this.

PSA has qualifiers (OC,MC,MK, etc) that could detract from the final price, while SGC doesn't use qualifiers. I don't know if the cards in question have flaws or not, but this could be one reason.
