He is claiming he is buying up all of this card for family members so that everyone in Tony's family can have a copy, however,
Why is he not hording the 1953 Topps Tony Bartirome card? (As far as I know, poor Tony only had these two cards)
The whole thing is crazy to me.

For reference, here is the original thread. He was going after high grade (PSA 7+) 1953 Topps Bartiromes as well. He claimed he was focusing on the 1952s because the set has more of a pedigree; my guess is there being fewer high number 52s (so the market is easier to distort) has something to do with it as well. As for him being banned, he had a rap sheet a yard long, and was lying about being Bartirome’s nephew. He also lied about being related to CNN reporter Maria Bartiromo. After Leon banned him, he threatened to activate his “stealth accounts” and spam the board.
