Even said it would be a conservation piece if displayed in a man cave ( something like that )

He did everything but put a neon flashing sign around the card with the words “not an original 2011 card”
Because a few bidders who had money acted like fools, does not ( in this case ) come down to seller deception.

“A fool and his money are soon parted”

It wasn't graded. It is a fake label.

I don't disagree that a we as buyers should take the time to do appropriate due diligence on an item that we are purchasing. That helps limit the chances that we get taken advantage of. That does not, however, absolve the seller of their bad conduct in any way and should not shift blame to the buyer.

Oh... then forget everything I said. If this is a counterfeit card - that’s federal prison/ throw the book at the seller !

My bad -

there’s a company that grades with a psa looking label like this - forgot their name. If you guys are saying the card is fake and the grading was not done - that’s fake too — now I’m back on the same page with all of you - no wonder I was jumped on!

That is FRAUD, and an appropriate consequence is Prison (IMO)
I HATE fraud!!!!
I didn’t look at this auction as thoroughly as you guys ( guess the buyer didn’t, either !

)

Wanted to add one of these for quite some time and was concerned I may not get one if the market continued to go in the same direction. It’s off to PSA hoping for a 9.

I LOVE the picture on the Trout 2021 S1 SP (the picture of his swing follow-through). Definitely going to have to pick up a copy when the prices come down a little

2011 Trout Finest gold auto 9.5 ending at auction tonight with Goldin. Very excited to see where this ends as Finest is always brought up as being undervalued and under appreciated. With the market so hot maybe this could be a sale that starts getting the Finest auto the respect it deserves. At 10k right now, any guesses where itll end?

Very nice 9's you got there!

Also, when linking pics from imgur just add a lowercase L before the .jpg and they are resized like these are.

Can go even smaller with lower case M, T, or S.

BigRalph · 02-11-2021, 08:37 PM

Lmao thank you I just embarrassed myself pretty hard there ��

These Sapphires are gorgeous. I have the Cabrera/Trout/Beltre League Leaders and the foiling is amazing. Love it on the Rookie Cup base!
