Expecting the worst- SGC poor

[Rob D.]

I remember the year Barry Sloate received his REA purchases the day after the auction ended (actually, he received them on Sunday, so technically it was the same day). That's when you know you've achieved rock-star status in the hobby.

I was just thinking about that recently. I remember a strange guy was ringing my doorbell kind of late Sunday night and I had no idea who it was. As I recall Rob saw me post something on the board about fast shipment and thought it would be funny to have the cards at my house the same day. I wasn't so polite to the delivery guy though.

And regarding Leon's SGC 10's, that's a good example of how TPG is solely about technical flaws. Eye appeal isn't even factored into the equation. That's why so many people don't like them.

Am curious...So REA did not bother to post pics of backs? If I was a consigner I'd be pissed if that was the case as I'm assuming most bidders assumed the backs were possibly trashed and obviously they are not...

Well said Barry. This alone is what's screwy about TPG. Great cards Leon!
