Poll Should GA disclose that the PSA 6.5 and SGC MIN SIZE Dimaggios are same card?

LOTG also does well pointing out flaws, though it is mixed in with maybe a paragraph of puffery.

Some larger houses are on the other end of the spectrum, like Goldin - if they give a description, it's 95% puffery.

Well to be fair a lot of time we're selling the chopped meat, but at least we call it hamburger and not filet.

Wait, wait, wait... Chopped meat AND medium potatoes? Are you working on a cookbook over there?

Fun fact. When a poll is neck and neck the entire way, and then suddenly breaks 10+ straight votes in one direction after a sample size of 160 votes, it usually means those votes were recruited. Not that it matters, but that would be pretty funny to me if someone here is taking the results so seriously that they felt the urge to recruit. Lol

Haha, that would indeed be pathetic. And yet is seems somewhat plausible.

I remember from stats class that a sample size of 160 in statistics is generally considered a good, medium-sized sample for most research studies. Funny that as soon as we got to that number, something went haywire.

If you're suggesting I recruited votes, that's absolutely false. I can't believe anyone else would bother to either. I frankly expected the poll to be about 60-40 no.

No, I'm not suggesting that. I know you wouldn't bother with something like that. And I'm not pointing fingers at anyone specifically. Just making an observation that I thought was funny.

This card just ended a few minutes ago on ebay. It sold for about halfway between what a 4 and 5 would sell for. And there were 5 separate bidders who all had bids in above the PSA 4 value.

They is very little that would surprise me on here. The one thing I am not surprised about is how 95 people have votes yes. Yet not a single one has contacted the AH and gave us their response. At least they cared enough to post/vote in this so ever important thread.

I don't understand this. It's just a poll, one doesn't have to "care" to have an opinion, and besides obviously GA is aware of the situation.

Just like I do not understand why someone would start multiple threads about it but never contact the AH. Makes no sense to me at all. Contacting the AH might do something while making threads and dozens of posts is just drama. Not saying I am right or you are wrong just don't understand how someone can "care" so much and do basically nothing about it.
