It's settled - PWCC is the GOAT auction house

SpinFadeSplash23SpinFadeSplash23 Posts: 909 ✭✭✭

I have a long history with PWCC, including auctioning off a 86-87 BBCE Fleer Basketball Box. Regardless of dollar amount, PWCC continues to consistently prove their value by taking care of the little details.

I recently submitted a card for their current auction. If you are familiar with PWCC auctions, you know they provide quality descriptions for the high end items. While my submission is not a five figure plus item, it is substantial and historically relevant. With their "Request Edit" option, I sent a message recommending a small description to market the item better. I was expecting a line or two at most.

I was blown away by what they produced. They actually took time to research the item and even as the seller, I wanted to buy it. I'd be shocked if this doesn't lead to at least a 10% increase in realized price.

Not sure if other auction houses are doing this, but PWCC again proved why I will always send them my items. I have seen a few posts on here detailing horror stories with lazy, inaccurate descriptions from other auction houses. Not PWCC - they actually take pride in their listings.

Keep up the great work.

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    It’s nice to read something like this. I’m not ready to hand PWCC the GOAT title just yet, but their responsiveness is refreshing and it sounds like in your case they went the extra mile.

    I've had nothing but positive experiences selling individual cards through PWCC. It's a good way to go if you have slabbed cards of significance. I also think for raw sets, the card-by-card approach with Greg Morris is a good way to go.

    How have you been, Mike? The card is still live and I feel it is poor form to promote it here. I'll be happy to post when the auction ends in 9 days and 4 hours!

    Was watching a 55 Topps Jackie Robinson PSA 8 last night. Ended at $3,950!! Just look at the link to the previous auctions below. It was a gorgeous card but blew any of the previous sales out of the water.

    Im surprised Wes Spece hasn't chimed in on this thread offering his rebuttal about Probstein. Probe is way more active in seeking consignments. However, Wes has been busy changing the starting lineup inventory in the store to notice.
