Should Some Interference Be Allowed In The BST Areas?

Here's the thing about this place, 100 year old cardboard images are just a vehicle, it's how we treat each other that is the true test of character.

I get what you are saying, but it is the opposite of the situation; as written the original statement benefits greatly from your clarification that you are talking about a 180 reversal of the situation.

I don't think anyone would disagree that cardboard images are not a reflection of character, while personal conduct is. This is why it seems like a good idea to allow lies to be publicly observed.

It's not a lie, it's an abuse of the truth and a bush league sales tactic that insults intelligent members here.
I would also caution that allowing members to comment on BST listings is a Pandora's box of personal opinions which have nothing to do with a transaction between a buyer and seller.

Considering how cranky some people are being lately, I'm not sure it's a good idea.

I don't often have a chance to deal with expensive collectibles either buying or selling. But on those occasions, I like to know the comps myself, relying on any seller for that info is just not something I do. Especially if the item is hundreds or thousands of dollars.
With my cheap stuff, I don't bother. If someone says "I want $2 because the ones I had at $1 sold almost instantly what matters more is if I want that particular card right then.

Another thing to consider is that comps aren't always accurate comps.
For example, how many threads do we have comparing two cards at a particular grade- "Which is better" "which one would you keep" Etc.
So are the three comps listed really similar in centering etc, and are the ones not mentioned examples with maybe better corners and lesser centering? Or some other differences?
