Returning Cards to Heritage?

[vthobby]

I will never bid or consign to them again.

The worst!

REA is where it's at.

Most in the hobby know this for buying or consigning.

Dean and the REA crew are incredible!

Peace, Mike

Just to be fair, I have seen HA showed card damages (ceases) on an image taken by digital camera and they also provided images taken from scanner (not showing those ceases as much). Taking images using digital camera on a tilted angle makes a big diff..... just like Chris's Jordan brown Lenox

Last week I left 2 voicemails for Peter Calderon (on diff days) asking him to please call me as I have a coupe of questions about 2 different lots in today’s auction. He is their “grading expert”.

Nothing.
Zip.
Zilch.
Zero.

Now I won’t be bidding on either item. It has to make the consignor(s) proud!

Good idea.

Back in the day when I could not reach a human to fix a cable TV problem, I called back and chose the option to buy more services. I got a person right away.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work anymore either. Its almost all completely online or automated now. Its now a complete sh*tshow.

You'd have a better chance of landing an Israeli fighter jet in Tehran International Airport.

Agree.... they are "cream of the crop". And same goes for Tom at REA (for memorabilia).

LOTG is also in that top-tier category... Nothing but great experiences on both the consigning and buying ends, always with honesty/integrity and no BS.

And Sterling too.

I've also had good experiences with Clean Sweep, tho I have heard from others with troubled transactions.

I would love to see a list of all the Auction Houses. And to hear people's personal experiences. The good AND the bad. With all that is going on with my situation, I am tempted to just sell everything and leave the hobby. Would love to hear how these auction houses responded.

The hobby is a better place with you in it, Bobby. PLEASE don't leave.

I’ve been around for a while and I can tell you that Chris Ivy is one of the good guys in the hobby.

+1. Everything about REA is world class, especially their customer service. I had an issue recently in the realm of the OP's question and REA resolved it for me very quickly and professionally. The experience only further solidified them as my favorite big auction house, by far.

[Johnny630]

REA is the best Agree :-)

[Aaron Seefeldt]

I’ve been buying & consigning through REA for over 25 years.

By far and away the #1 auction house to deal with.
