I took a Ray Boone baseball card to this location and the misinformed employee said it was a replica and refuse to make an offer. His explanation was that the card didn't have the date it was manufactured on it. (?). He harped on the fact that Boone was born in 1923 (on the card) and that he would be 90 something years old. Well he would if he was still alive but he died in 2004. He was the first of three generations of baseball player and even played with Cleveland during his 13 year career. Bob Boone his son and two grandsons: Brett and Aaron Boone also played in the Majors. I told the guy that Boone career began in the late '40s and ended in the early '60s but the guy actually thought I was trying to pull a fast one. True is this bozo wouldn't know Ray Boone from Daniel Boone.
The employee actually insinuated that I reproduced the card, that it was a replica. Why in the world would somebody reproduce a card that according to various online sites is only worth 5 or 10 dollars? The card along with others that are probably thrown away had been in my Mom's house since the fifties.
A radio talk station in Cleveland promotes this organization heavily with on the air spots and reply advertising texts if you send a text to the show. 650 Gold started giving cash for gold and now also buy sports memorabilia. A big mistake since their employees are most ignorant of the subject. And after my experience I would be skeptical about taking anything there for appraisal. They have many sparsely decorated, hole-in-the-wall locations in Cuyahoga County that are usually located in strip malls. read more
