Crazy! I was looking at this last week, and was mind blown at its price then!!

That is about 2.14 million AUD according to the dollar conversion rate haha.

and then add 20% buyer's premium on top!

It actually sold for 1.8 because it had a 20% buyers premium.

That's right, I forgot that also factors into the final price!! Madness to say the very least!

I wish this type of thing could happen to me hahaha. Definitely need better cards first though

I was following this negative article on blowout a few months back-

Maybe the Lebron's winner was related to this article, if so, it doesn't look good for his reputation or the case has been resolved.

I did not read it all because at work but what struck me as exceedingly odd was:

1) PSA grades cards
2) They identify one as fake and grade other two as legit
3) Random guy off the street (who may or may not be very knowledgeable — I don't know) tells them one of the cards they graded is also fake.
4) PSA takes his advice and says "Oppps..."
5) Random guy says this is not the first time he has given PSA advice/pointed out their grading failures.
6) Only one poster seems at all concerned/surprised that PSA takes advice from folks off the street.

And people pay these guys money for their service? Buyers pay a massive premium based off the legitimacy offered by this service?

I accept people make mistakes but when you get a submission containing one fake card are you not on high alert for others in that submission, especially when they are known to be faked cards. Failing in that situation just screams incompetence...

If anyone wants to read this, take 45-60 mins lol
Involves the buyer of the Lebron card and has a lot of info on what can happen when selling cards/paypal/shipping etc

If LeBron sold for $1.8million, then this bad boy would have sold for $4.5million minimum I reckon:
