A few of you might remember that a few months ago, I bought a pair of 1968 Nolan Ryans graded 10 on a junk grader. I returned those and got the money back.

Today, I saw this from same seller:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Baseball-Sports-Card-Grading-Company-for-Sale-Website-Equipment-Cases-ETC-/111441507289?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item19f26e73d9

REALLY messed up, right?

    I wonder which fine, ethical, and honest collector will be the high bidder on this auction. image

    Serious question - how much is that actual equipment worth? Not the entire expertise I will fly to your house and then convince ebay that this is legit part of it, just the equipment.

    His junk company was ProChoice. You can change it to ProLife.

    Unreal. At least we know who created that "PSA 10" SP Jeter.

    I say a few random questions to the seller on ebay would help. " would you take $31,500? and do free shipping?" Maybe throw in a line about for 10% of the company once I get started would you consult and take 10% off the price?

    A few days later tell him that you will offer him $35,000 in Pro graded cards in trade for the equipment.

    After that just offer crazy trades - 1988 Topps baseball case and a box of Popsicles in trade since it would be equal value.

    This should be fun...

    Looks like there are several Branson 2000 welders listed on ebay right now. You could probably get one for under $5K.
    Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all "right-thinking" people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

    This is known as “bad luck.”
