Re: What would you do in a case like this? Your purchase is then re-listed
You should probably open a case to start a refund if you don't hear anything from the seller soon (which I'm guessing you won't).

Re: 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame - Classic Era Committee
Mike Mussina had a career ERA of 3.68, which was 23% better than league average. There are precisely ZERO pitchers with an ERA that much better than league average who pitched as many innings as Mussina who are not also in the HOF.
Tommy John had a career ERA of 3.34, which was only 11% better than league average. He has his own HOF case, but it's different, and not as strong as Mussina's, who was a slam dunk.
And yes, all pitchers won/lost records are determined in large part by the quality of their teams. Which is why "wins" is not an element of any sensible HOF argument.

Re: 1977 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Box Break!
Better 1977 OPC could not be produced if we ran the original line and process today. None of these getting a PSA 10 is a joke. Compare any of these to the previously discussed PSA 10s of the 1979 Eck or 1981 Gibson and these are visibly superior 100% of the time. If PSA doesn’t get this fixed, it risks devaluing their brand and undoing the standard of the hobby. PSA needs to do better. Consistency is everything for an ‘unbiased’ third party service.
Re: Why would you buy a coin that did not CAC?
Now that the question is different, there's a new answer. So likewise I have also sent most of my Morgan collection to CAC and received feedback and learned tons and now I feel I have a good CAC eye. A few coins have been denied CAC for some very minor reason such as small abrasions in non-prime locations. So if the choice is a CAC stickered coin for $1200 or a CAC-denied coin with a minor abrasion but otherwise solid for $1000, I would have no problem buying the non-CAC coin and saving the money. Just like some will be happy with a $500 discount when buying a new car because it already has a scratch on the bumper. I'd never pay full price for a new car with a scratch, but discount it appropriately and there's no reason not to buy it unless it would really bug you that much. I expect most of us feel this way.
