So the seller took erroneous information from Goodwin's site, and used it for his sale. Why not use a primary source to see what Harry Wright's actual contributions to baseball were?

Also see that card has become a lot more valuable since the auction closed. Must be inflation.

Barry-That's hilarious! When I first read the description my reaction was to think of Goodwin Auction descriptions, the only place where I recall seeing inaccuracies like that. I didn't realize that the description WAS lifted from a Goodwin Auction description.

It should be listed as the "Ghost of Harry Wright" variety. You can't see him, but you can feel his presence, kinda.

When I originally saw the description on ebay, the overhand thing didn't even register with me. I couldn't seem to get past the mention of the $4000 SMR while trying to sell the card for $8200.

Jay- well of course that brings us to the topic of grading, and how a card with that light a photo should never be a 5 under any circumstances. But that's for another thread.

Not to defend the people at Please Submit Again or Slippery Gasket Creators but I always wonder whether a card with a very faint image is as bad as it is when we see it because of the wear and tear of being exposed to light in dealer(s) inventory after being slabbed.

Almost surely no in the case of Old Judges. There is a decline curve for photo fading and most of it takes place fairly early in the photo's life (about 100 years ago). Unless the dealer's case is at an outside mall this is not an issue.

Probably not when they have had it less than 24 hours before putting it for sale...

But only after publicly announcing it as their favorite card in their collection, one which they will never sell. At least for an hour.

Default OJ grading
I know this is off the subject of the OP, but once again, this card brings to light how ridiculous the grading scale is for OJs. This bugs me more than inflated descriptions. Yes, I know this issue has been raised before. I would pay more for a PSA 1 with a clear and rich image than for a seriously faded PSA 5. If that card was little more than a blank piece of cardboard, yet barely identifiable as Wright, it would have probably gotten the same grade.

+1. Agree 100% with you.

I'm glad I bought most of my cards before QE2.

Wow, tough crowd today. A little far fetched description and price but you guys are brutal! It's his card he can ask what he wants.

If the card is a steal at $8200 what was it when it was bought a week ago for $2991? A Ponzi scheme?

I wish there was a "like" option for comments.
