Memory Lane sold cards they didn't have per SCD

Can’t imagine what a consignor would say if they were able to give their honest opinion. Instead, there is the hope of being made whole and the fear of retribution if they express otherwise. Snowman experienced a version of that. Good luck to those affected but my fear would be that the AH will turn self interested.

Pretty sure Ryan isn't afraid to share his real thoughts. If Memory Lane wanted to mess with him I think they would regret it. That being said, I don't doubt that all consignors are going to be made whole even if they but ML on blast.

Nothing to be afraid of Ryan is a professional and I believe it's in all party's best interests to keep quiet and let things play out.

We all have our opinions and that's much respected and valued. Nothing is going to change things will move on as usual.

I didn't mean it in that way, I simply meant that Ryan is in a position where an auction company wouldn't be able to bully him.

it was in response to the "fear of retribution" line in what I quoted. Maybe I over-stated, but the idea that Ryan would be afraid of any auction company's "retribution" for expressing his opinion is pretty amusing to me. Of course Ryan is an adult and a professional and will conduct himself as such, but not because of the intimidation of some auction company.

The whole thing stinks.

Adding that Ryan, as well as Jamie (blunder) selling off, the precipice is very close now

That's an inductive leap. People sell for various reasons: personal finances, desire to do something else with the money, moving, etc. You cannot make macro conclusions from micro actions of a few people.

Vintage card prices have been declining (gasp) for a while now, but there are no 'precipices', just a normal correction off of some crazy market highs.

If you want to predict that the sky is falling, you are probably right...eventually. Most leading economists have successfully predicted nine of the last five recessions.

True, buuuuttt more akin to saying that the influx of covid stimulus and speficially PPP loans led to people into buying cards they shouldn't, couldn't or wouldn't otherwise.. when any big players starting out...be fearful. Heck I sold! That tell you something right there ...I kid
