What don't you do?
In short: I do not buy, sell, broker or consign cards, negotiate sales, sell or broker insurance, hold funds or provide escrow, or lend or advance money. I also do not guarantee authenticity or promise grades.
The list is short and fixed, and it is written into every engagement letter:
- Buy, sell, broker or consign cards, or negotiate sales for clients
- Sell or broker insurance (I refer and document only)
- Hold funds or provide escrow (grading fees are prepaid by you)
- Lend or advance money
Each item is something that would give me a stake in your cards or your money. Leaving them out is what keeps the opinion independent. See why I stopped selling cards.
