Goodwin is up

That's a black back Old Mill, no question about it.

And it's time some of the hobbyists petitioned the graders to hold a seminar about grading Old Judges, and explain to them that they don't have a clue. If collectors know more than the graders, what's the point?

No doubt that is a black old mill. It doesn't reflect well on Goodwin that they are trying to profit on an obvious mislabel. I don't see REA trying to pull this.

Those OJ's are so mis-graded its hilarious. I like your suggestion John, but although the grading problems are most acute with Old Judges, in my opinion it also very evident in whatever issue the companies are grading, because the image quality counts for nothing (see recent thread on REA Plank grades).

Fat chance they'll listen to us though, the grading companies think of themselves like great oracles of wisdom that we must bow down to...

Yeah it is a really good thing for the winner that SGC has that "guaranty".

That blacker shade of brown "Old Mill" is a perfect example of why SGC no longer employs former members of Procol Harum.

I've been in communication with Bill Goodwin, and he will be sending SGC the card for re-evaluation. It has been withdrawn from the auction at this time.

Thank you,

That seems like a pretty radical way of dealing with this issue! Couldn't we have ragged about it a little longer? After all, so far we've only crucified Goodwin and SGC. We haven't had time to work on the consignor nor the potential bidders yet!

Please move a little more slowly next time.
