  Anybody else win anything on the auction? I put some early bids in at what I thought were VERY good prices, and got 6 of them...
  Even with the 17.5% add-on, which I figured in, they are good...mostly 20%-30%-40% below SMR, except the Berra which I wanted for my HOF Rookie Set.
  
  20 1954 Topps #1 Ted Williams PSA 3 VG $73.00 $12.78 (17.5%) $85.78
  24 1954 Topps #250 Ted Williams PSA 4 VG-EX $103.00 $18.03 (17.5%) $121.03
  28 1957 Topps #407 Yankees Power Hitters PSA 6 EX-MT $146.00 $25.55 (17.5%) $171.55
  29 1958 Topps #418 World Series Batting Foes PSA 4 VG-EX $44.00 $7.70 (17.5%) $51.70
  30 1958 Topps #487 Mickey Mantle All-Star PSA 7 NM $103.00 $18.03 (17.5%) $121.03
  16 1948 Bowman #6 Yogi Berra PSA 4 VG-EX $130.00 $22.75 (17.5%) $152.75
  
  how did everyone else do?

  I am glad you did well and got the cards you wanted. All in all the auction went well and I will plan on having another one in Nov/Dec. The prices of the cards did as I expected for a relatively new auction site with limited users. Thanks again

  Calling Out PSA & CGC: You Graded the Same Error — But Now You Play Dumb?

  To the collecting community,

  Let me tell you what’s really going on behind the scenes at PSA and CGC, because I’m done playing nice.

  I submitted a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle error card — Type 2 front with a Type 1 back. This is a 100% real, factory-printed mismatch. It’s a legit printing flaw, not a reprint, not altered, not tampered with. It's from the original Topps run in 1952.

  Here’s the kicker:
  PSA and CGC have already graded the same exact card — same error, same print flaw, same set.

  But when I submitted mine? PSA flat-out rejected it. Said they don’t “recognize the error.”
  CGC ignored it. No explanation. Just brushed it off.

  So what changed? Is it only an error when it's convenient for you? Or when it comes from a big-time submitter? You’ve already slabbed this card before — and now you're pretending like you’ve never seen it?

  That’s called playing favorites.
  That’s called grading by politics — not by facts.

  PSA and CGC: If you’re going to claim you’re the leaders in this industry, then you’d better hold your standards across the board. Don’t pick and choose when a card is real based on who’s sending it in. That’s not grading — that’s fraud.

  You cost me a real buyer. You damaged the credibility of my card. You’ve shown the whole hobby that you’re inconsistent, biased, and maybe even afraid of cards you can’t explain.

  To the clowns online saying “it’s fake” — prove it.
  Don’t just run your mouth because PSA couldn’t recognize something that’s already in their database. Bring your facts, or shut up.

  This card is real, rare, and worth every bit of its $50 million estimate.
  You don’t get to erase it just because it doesn’t fit your comfort zone.

  I’ve had enough. PSA and CGC — I’m putting you on notice. The whole hobby’s watching.
  Either fix your broken system, or admit it’s rigged.

  — Dang Vang
