Poppage and an endorsement for a couple of eBay sellers

First, I was pleasantly surprised when this popped in a week for the Pennant Fever/Kickoff Special. Second, there have been some posts lately asking about the validity of some of the self-assessments that sellers post on their listings. I figured this would be a good opportunity to share my latest experience.

    Well, LOL that 71Toppsman is the gold standard for raw on Ebay. He's not bad, every once in awhile he'll surprise you, but adjust a grade down when bidding.

  • Nice stuff and what's even better is hearing about the "raw" results from eBay sellers. Thanks for posting the results!

    I normally do adjust down for him, so these were even more of a surprise.
