This has been raised a number of times . . . .

It seems to come up every auction.

He (hey Al) probably wishes he had the payroll of a one man show!

Really a well done catalog and a lot of interesting stuff.

Hi Al,

Nice '74 Laughlin Old-Time Black Stars run you have in the current auction. It includes some highest-graded examples (e.g. PSA 9's of Mendez, Bell, Frank Grant, Charleston, Rube Foster - and in case anyone is wondering, I am NOT the consigner).

I couldn't help but notice that the descriptions included for each of these are copied verbatim from my PSA Registry Set. I'm flattered that you think my blurb adds value to your auctions, but I am conflicted (particularly since I am a retired academic) about the lack of attribution. Perhaps the parenthetic inclusion of "Description from Paleocards' 1974 Laughlin Old-Time Black Stars set, #1 on the PSA Set Registry from 2012-2023," or something to that effect, would have been appropriate.

Thanks,
Andy Kramer (paleocards)

Hi Andy:

I've got to apologize for that. I did not write those descriptions. That's not acceptable, and not by our standards whatsoever. I will be rewriting them myself shortly and will have new descriptions before the end of the day.

Thanks for the heads up, occasionally it's difficult to get every description proofed myself (one of the drawbacks of no longer being a one-man show, perhaps).

-Al

Has anyone received their catalog yet? With 6 days until the auction closes I have yet to receive mine.

Our catalogs were mailed last Friday. TWO cover designs this time around:

Any reason why? Did the two different covers cause the delay in shipping the catalogs?
