<p>Robert,</p>
<p>Is that Ruth Gehrig this one in a High End Memorabilia auction tomorrow morning on LiveAuctioneers?</p>

<p>High End Memorabilia…</p>
<p>Robert,</p>
<p>Is that Ruth Gehrig this one in a High End Memorabilia auction tomorrow morning on LiveAuctioneers?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/69598320_gehrig-and-ruth-3x5-signature-cut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/69598320_gehrig-and-ruth-3x5-s...</a><br/><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1297242065?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1297242065?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p>High End Memorabilia often lists the same lot in a dozen or more auctions, sometimes selling it several times. That exact Ruth/Gehrig you were asking about sold in High End Memorabilia's February 28 auction for $2,500 + 25% buyer's premium: $3,125</p>
<p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/69378173_gehrig-and-ruth-3x5-signature-cut-gfa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/69378173_gehrig-and-ruth-3x5-s...</a></p>
<p>Read High End Memorabilia's terms and conditions in the third tab under the image on the lot's page.</p>
<p>If you buy from them you can't get out of it, no matter what. If you file a charge back, under their T&Cs you agree that they can charge you an amount equal to the chargeback amount, plus hundreds of dollars or more in costs. </p>
<p>Even worse, read this in their terms and conditions:</p>
<p><em>In the event that Bidder violates this dispute resolution provisions, in consideration of HEM's approval of the application of the bidder to bid in HEM's auction, bidder confesses judgment to fraud having been committed by bidder against HEM and further agrees that bidder is liable to HEM for all damages, losses and costs.</em></p>
<p>You read it right. If you violate their dispute resolution provisions you automatically confess that you have committed fraud against High End Memorabilia.</p>
<p>Their terms and conditions are illegal, perhaps even criminally illegal, and largely unenforceable, but they no doubt do the job and scare most buyers away from trying to get their money back.</p> +1tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2019-03-07:3524372:Comment:13218442019-03-07T00:05:38.130ZShaggy67https://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/Shaggy67
