Re: Game Worn Items On Paragon Auctions!
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows why so many lots have been withdrawn from Paragon Auctions?

Re: Game Worn Items On Paragon Auctions!
I think before these auction houses list these game used items they should have expert people and be at least 100% sure they are game used. and get collectors opininons to that are knowledgable. Some posts I have read the past few weeks with some of the auctions when someone questions them they don't care because they think they know it all. Don't just accept this crap and throw it on your auction site and play stupid like I didn't know. You should know or don't be in the auction business. They all seem to want to deal in the volume of there auctions instead of quality. Like saying we have 500 lots in out auction. Who cares if 250 of them are fake. My whole thing is be totally sure before you put out a catalouge or start your auction. You have plenty of time to make sure.

Re: Game Worn Items On Paragon Auctions!
The best thing that you can do for buying game used vintage items is get out here in the hobby community and talk to the top collectors of that particular team from that era. Make a post on GUU with photos and see what collectors have to say. I almost purchased 5 different fake vintage jerseys and after reading the thoughts of another GUU expert member who owns about 200 jerseys from that particular team and era I received an abundance of knowledge and I would never be fooled again on any jersey from that team and era.

Re: Game Worn Items On Paragon Auctions!
I would most likely call good friend Howard Wolf and industry expert or others that I know. To your point, I personally won't make a purchase without doing a ton of research or calling on the proper person or persons. My point was, you will not be able to photo match vintage except in a one in a million chance and team letters forget it in most cases. I like to consult guys like Taube, Kinnunen, Grob etc. when making large purchases.

Re: Game Worn Items On Paragon Auctions!
please give him some time to provide evidence. i was planning to bid on several items, but they were taken down. i'd like to know what was wrong with them so that i can avoid purchasing in the future.

mmonte4, if they have taken down items it could be because a consignor pulled it. I don't think there is reason to panic. I called Keith Vari and he said 2 items were pulled due to issues.
