    Sure why not... there's people selling hot air - it was only a matter of time that slabs only sales are to come.

    I would laugh except for the fact the seller is apparently dead serious.

    How'd he get the slab to open so cleanly?

    Nothing would surprise me. Heck, about ten years ago, there was a guy selling New York City garbage (stinky poo) on that venue.........and folks (idiots?) were buying it.

    I'd bet pcgs would like to know about this. Someone should shoot them an email with the link

    I wonder if there is any recourse for the TPG's with stuff like this

    Already gone, ended by the seller. I wonder if PCGS got wind of it and acted? I can't imagine them caring for such an auction.

    If they did care, it would probably be due to the risk of someone sticking a fake in that genuine slab and resealing it convincingly enough

    And who exactly, if not this, were the sellers intended market? He knew with certainty what the likely bidders intended to do with it.
