GFC....Amazing!

Its hard to believe that MANY items that have been proven to be bad...or at least highly questionable....have already been bid upon. Amazing. The Jordan jersey...thats OBVIOUSLY bad....heads the list.

This is not a new! Most if not all auction house's have a lot of questionable items. There isn't enough hours in the day to post about every bad item. I don't see a change ever coming as long as there is new/unaware buyers. But this is the hobby we chose.

854 lots in this auction.

Any comments on anything anyone doesn't have any issues with?

How about Lot #1 - http://www.greyflannelauctions.com/L...px?lotid=20417

Pretty cool looking item. Any reason someone shouldn't open the bid at $25,000 on this lot?

Re: GFC....Amazing!

The reason I'm not opening the bidding on the Willis Reed, I have nowhere near $25k plus buyers fees.

I concur, GF may be setting a record here. As I said in another thread:

Personally, I'm convinced GF's new preview system is intended in lieu of any reasonable internal authentication effort. The intent seems to be to eliminate all of that troublesome effort and expense by instead letting the public vette the auction pieces for bad ones.

Sort of a "toss it all up to see what sticks" approach.

How in the world does the Basketball HOF not see how bad these guys are and cut ties with them?

How about Lot #26 - Mid-1970's Charlie Scott Boston Celtics Green Jersey?

http://www.greyflannelauctions.com/LotDetail3.aspx?lotid=20442

Pretty cool looking vintage jersey with vintage tagging.

Anyone else wish to share any of the 850 lots that they do not have issues with?

Re: GFC....Amazing!

How do you know that there aren't issues with the Scott? Have you photo matched it? That tag sure looks fresh, eh?

I'm pretty sure GFC puts out a catalog. That might be where some of the 20 & 20 juice goes - to pay for the catalog.

Good luck on the Celts jersey!

Re: GFC....Amazing!

I am interested inn the Patrick Willis jersey and the Arian Foster Tennessee jersey. I am a huge Vols fan and the Foster jersey would be a nice addition. I know the Foster is real.......

Re: GFC....Amazing!

I like this lot. They are not game used, but pretty cool vintage Wilson and Rawlings jerseys. Note how the Wilson tag has a hand written +3 inches. Pretty Cool:
