![]() ![]() Yes, I've encountered this before as well. ![]() In other words, he wanted me to do his job for him while he walked away with the money up front! I told him that his thinking was ridiculous. When I asked him how it made sense for me to buy all his cards at full price when I only wanted a very few for my own collection, he replied that he assumed I'd be selling the rest to my contacts. (PSA is all about centering while I'm all about toning.) He wanted NM guide for every card all in one shot! And like I say they weren't NM by either PSA's standards due to centering or my own due to toning. He wanted me to buy them all or none! So I bid him a total which worked out to $20-$25 per card. I told him so, but he was opposed to me "cherry picking" the cards I wanted. Given the toning issue, there were only five or so I could have used for my own collection. As individual cards they would have fetched somewhere between $35 and $150 each with most closer to the low end of my range. Much worse though from my standpoint they all had varying degrees of toning which puzzled me since they'd ostensibly been stored in the same place. While almost all had sharp corners, some were somewhat off center. These Shredded Wheat CFL cards are about as scarce a post war set as one can (actually can't) find since they were included inside boxes of Shredded Wheat cereal and a kid had to convince his mother to buy Shredded Wheat which the mother probably knew the kid wouldn't eat since Shredded Wheat was more of an adult cereal: An older fellow contacted me saying that he had about seventy NM 1956 Shredded Wheat CFL cards that he'd saved from his childhood years. Circa 1998 I had an ad in Canadian Sportscard Collector magazine featuring my CFL want list. I've had first hand experience in that regard myself. For whatever reason many non-collectors/amateur sellers think that if they're not getting top price, they're getting ripped off even if they've put in zilch effort to earn the top dollars. ![]()
