Heroes of Sport, for their first auction, they have quite a few great things up. As a football guy, there is some nice stuff here

This is interesting: 74 PSA 10 common
A 1/1, already at a very high price, especially considering the tilt. Don't think I've ever seen a tilt that pronounced in a PSA 10 holder.
Someone mentioned in another thread that PSA doesn't really consider tilts, rather they measure from the edge to the narrowest point of the tilt and judge centering from that. I found that hard to believe, but now it appears to be true.

Heroes Of Sport Inaugural Auction
Of course, I need to hold back something for the Memory Lane auction, which closes just three days later.
Is that why they call this "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"?

The software that auction houses frequently use, Simple Auction Site, could probably best help bidders if they included a "Notes" section for listings similar to what eBay currently utilizes. With these auction house offerings, I build my Bidders/Watch List when the auction opens, print it out onto papers, and use a pencil to scribe my notes. The papers are carried from home to office and back and forth a few times until auction close. If anyone else think they can benefit from "Notes", please let the auction house or Simple Auction Site know at jeffgarrett@simpleauctionsite.com
Heroes of Sport had a number of cards auctioned off that rarely sell publicly and even some that have never sold before. Consequently, after contacting both parties I was disappointed to learn that the Heroes Of Sport Auction closing prices will not be reported to Vintage Card Prices. I'm working on helping see that they can be reported.

To Joe, the Thread Originator - so an experienced collector like you is even originating these non-Registry related posts like this one in the Set Registry Forum lately? What's up with that? Well, at least I didn't get one of your e-mails lately with that ridiculously dated-looking company logo in the footing. Dude, it looks like your company logo was designed at the time the Bowman Gum Company issued my favorite Sammy Baugh card.*
*For some readers - Joe & I are friends just clowning around.
In checking out some cards on VCP today, I noticed that they have now incorporated the closing prices from this auction in their reporting. I think this is definitely a benefit given some of the cards that went in this auction that are low-pops like the '61 Jim Otto 10, '63 Topps Deacon Jones 9, 1-of-1 Paul Krause RC 10, etc. Also a little surprising they weren't reported right away considering H-O-S advertised on the VCP website during the auction.

Agreed. Some of this looks funny- pop 1 psa 10's from the 1974 Topps set going for $900+the buyer's premium? Unless I'm mistaken, a card like this usually sells in the $300 range. Not as bad as 'Cepedagate', but still-- it makes a girl wonder.
I'd sell mine and discount the price off that Auction Price.
