It seems to me that every time Levi sells something at full sticker, this causes the VCP for that card to rise. Therefore, this would benefit others that own that particular card. Is this a problem?

only when Bobby subsequently sells the same card at a significantly reduced price, thereby reducing the average again.
I tend to always post when this topic comes up and it has over the years many many times, so I will say it again...
#1-The cards are theirs and they are free to sell them for whatever price they chose. #2-If your looking to start a set dont go near their inventory unless your down to that last group of cards that you cant find- chances are they will have it. #3- In my opinion lots of their cards are overgraded #4-Lightning fast Shipping and great customer service #5-More than 75% of their inventory is ridiculasly overpriced to the tune of "Rip Off" style mark ups that you would never get your money back if you chose to resell
And Bobby, Im the BIGGEST 707 hater on CU, I dont know Levi on a personal level enough to hate him but from what I have gotten out of dealing with him especially when I first got into the hobby I can say I dont like him in the least bit.
<< <i>Levi has everything. Nobody has what he has. Great guy. >>
Derek, you're nuts. EVERY time I have needed a card that he has, I have found it SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper elsewhere. That, and his cards tend to be really low-end for the grade. His Joe Jackson RC PSA 2 looks like little fido took a bite out of the corner because Levi was spending all his money on hats instead of puppy chow.
All that is required is a little patience. Nobody else has an off centered PSA 6 52 Mantle? Seriously, there is virtually nothing in his inventory that can't be found elsewhere for much less if you can keep it in your pants and wait a few months. These aren't Dmitri Young's cards.
I have no issue with the guy, his hats, or how he wants to sell cards, but I pray to God almighty that a 707 thread is never started again. Stop propping him up as some kind of a market maker. He is nothing of the sort.
And with that, thunderdan returns to his perch atop the mountain.

If you get the bread graded and slabbed, it might be worth $6.

What happens if you send in the bread to PSA (and SGC) and it gets returned due to "Evidence of Slicing"? What would you do then?

Great guy.
