Jordan sales right now are close to legit prices in the $240-280k range. Hate that so many people got hoodwinked back in January-March with the pumpers at $500-600k.

Maybe people thought it wasn't pack pulled as it is BGS. Otherwise, that is a steal!

I looked at that card. It looks more like an 8.5 or a 9. I imagine many other people thought the same. Some cards are horribly undera-graded. Some cards are horribly over-graded. If only the grading companies could be more consistent, but it’s really all over the place.

A PSA 10 on November's PWCC Premier is already at $312k with BP.

Also, that auction was possibly won by a PWCC employee, which is supposedly against PWCC policy.

"Can PWCC employees bid on items in a PWCC Flash, Monthly, or Premier Auction or buy from the Fixed Price Marketplace?

No. All employees are prohibited from bidding on PWCC Auction items or buying items on the Fixed Price Marketplace. If an employee violates this company policy, it is grounds for termination. This step protects the integrity of the PWCC Auctions."


It's possible it was just a quick flip after the auction but the connection to a card trimmer and a PWCC employee owning the card, seems fairly interesting.

I believe Erik Myers, aka Haole_Hustle on IG won the card. And yes, he does work for PWCC.

This is the 2nd big altered card that’s come into his possession that I know of. Wouldn’t be surprised if there are more with the way he downplays altered cards on the Sports Cards Live podcast. I’ve noticed this with a lot of big time collectors, where the card is so big, important or iconic that it somehow minimizes the trimming, or corner restoration, or car wax that just buffed out those pesky modern surface scratches. It’s odd because they’ll be sure to also stress provenance. Well alrighty.

What was your question?

Someone asked about employees being allowed to bid on PWCC auctions and Erik stumbled a little with the question but did say he wasn't approved for bidding.

Also mentioned that customers and friends occasionally reach out to see if he wants to buy their recent PWCC auction winnings. If he didn't win the auction, that's possibly how he ended up with the Jordan.

It was only after that question did I ask my own. At 32 minutes in you can see my initial question in the chat box (DrewTangNYC), he never pulled it from chat to display/answer. Then at 44:50 he pulls my last attempt for display. You'd think Erik would at least explain if it was a customer purchase soon after their auction win.

Sorry, if you got permanently banned for asking that question.
Even without bidding, it's not a good look for employees to end up with PWCC auction wins, right after an auction ends.

Right, it’s weird optics regardless. Couldn’t care less about the ban, was just surprised. I haven’t seen most of the shows, just enough to know that the host normally doesn’t shy away from even uncomfortable stuff.

I don't see your question 32 minutes in.

I wonder how much PWCC pays Jeremy for doing this.

Do you have proof that Erik bid on one of PWCC's items? Honestly it seems like you deserved to get banned, at least pending you prove your accusation. If what you said was not 100% factual it is completely out of line and disruptive. You were calling them out.

I don't see this at all... All I see is him blocking you for taking shots at PWCC and Erik, one he thought was totally unfair and not true per Eriks response.

Good on him for actually fielding your shots fired. If you had just simply asked whether or not Erik had bid on a PWCC item or not and not concluded in your statement that "basically the PWCC employee policy is just fluff", you probably don't get banned.

Regardless, you didn't "get blocked for bringing this up". You got blocked for lack of tact and not "just bringing it up".

If it's not appearing in the chat replay box it's prob only displaying on my end since I'm banned. I remembered him discussing buying '86 fleers in a previous show. You can call it disruptive, but I only brought this up after someone asked about company policy. I don't think it was out of line when you consider Erik was posting the same card that was in a pwcc auction. If it's the case he just bought it immediately from the winner, it still seems weird.

I did. Ban likely causes them not to display.

I'm not that oblivious, I get that. It's possible he didn't see my previous questioning. Regardless, I will practice tact.

If the card was from a recent PWCC auction and he now owns it, that stinks to high hell. I dont care how anybody wants to spin that.

Only cowards block and avoid when questioned. If they have nothing to hide, why block?

The $840k copy through PWCC earlier this year got an MBA gold sticker.

It sounds like it was bought and flipped to him shortly after. Not sure what the problem is here. The policy states he can’t bid and he didn’t so…? Doesn’t say anything about employees not being allowed to buy cards from winners. That could happen five minutes after an auction or five years after there’s no way to really police that.

People are just itching for a new witch hunt I think.

Or he just had a friend 'bid' for him and say it was a 'flip'. It's definitely sketchy.
