[QUOTE=sflayank;2244653]so they bid on it themselves?
and retracted their own bid?
reserve still not met?
doesnt say what reserve is
not to mention the fact...card was a psa 1...allegedly purchased by "sgc"
cracked out of the psa holder...put in an sgc 1.5...put on display at the national to advertise themselves
and in order to resell "sgc" cracked it out of their own holder and put it back in a psa holder...
WOW[/QUOTE]

That is funny. It is amazing how many cards have been in several different slabs.

I had a Joe DiMaggio that was in 3 PSA and 2 SGC slabs that I know of. Oldest I could find was a PSA slab with the dreaded MC qualifier. Buyer got it cheap and cracked and sebmitted to SGC. Sold in SGC slab to a flipper who cracked and sent to PSA. It got the dreaded MC again and he lost serious cash. I bought it in the PSA slab and cracked it and sent it to SGC and made some good cash off it. I know that buyer told me he was going to crack and send to PSA. LOL

This kind of nonsense makes me glad I collected cards in the pre-slab era. This, and many other self-serving factors. Sheesh!

correction
sgc bought the card for 144k in 2018...then switched holders back and forth and sold it for 372k last year in heritage
the new owner...trying to get his money back

[oldjudge]

How do you know SGC bought the card? Also, are you saying the entity SGC bought it, or someone at SGC, or something else entirely?

[sflayank]

Let's see...a private collector spends 144k on the rarest card and out of the goodness of his heart
Gives it to sgc and has them reholder it in an sgc holder, so they can display and claim it as their own, to the world in their new holder, and after crack it back out, pay their competitor to reholder it, and then give it back to the real owner.....hmmmm

[oldjudge]

So, to cut through the hyperbole, you have no facts and are just speculating. If that's the case state it as such.

No speculation
Fact 100% certainty
