Default Bricol Enterprises - Stay away from his auctions

Posted By: Todd

Brian Collard is everything that is wrong with this hobby. He has misleading auction descriptions, decides to misplace items when they don't sell for a price that he is happy with and basicly claims to be one of the most important players in the collecting hobby. HE IS A FRAUD!!

Paul,from the other post, I am glad to hear you got your money back from Bricol Sports Auctions.

In my opinion, Brian Collard is one of the biggest crooks in the hobby. In his one of his auctions a couple of years ago he had a 1954 Wilson Franks Ted Williams. I was high bidder on the card at around $360.00. The card had great eye appeal with the exception of a small 1/8th inch tear at the bottom of the card. The card would have been EX-MT+ or possibly NM without the tear. Needless to say it was a tremendous steal for that card in any condition. I also was high bidder on a "Vintage Joe Jackson store model bat" at least that is what the item discription said. Well, let's just say the bat was NOT vintage, but made within the last 2 years by Hillerich & Bradsby. Any moron could have seen that the bat was newly manufactured, but Collard passed it off as vintage.

What really pissed me off was when I paid for the the items the first business day after the auction, I paid extra to have the items shipped next day air. Well, the next day came, no package. I called, no answer, but left a message. Repeat of the same the next day. Well finally, on the third day I got of hold of the girl in Collard's office and told her of my problem. Nothing had been shipped. They had also conveniently lost the Ted Williams card. Not only was I never told this, but they could not even give me the courtesy to call me about never shipping the package. Collard insisted that the card had been lost or just misplaced and that he would call me if it was found. It's funny that the card never was found and just disappeared and to which he thinks I was stupid enough to think that either he or the consignor was not happy with the selling price of the card and that is the reason it was suddenly lost.

Collard also sells PRO graded cards in his auctions. Any ethical auction house wouldn't touch a PRO graded card with the reputation that they carry in the hobby.

I will never bid and if I even try to discourage people from bidding or having anything to do with Brian Collard or Bricol Enterprises.

In the autograph world, Bricol is just a small step above
Coaches Corner. If you collect autographs, you will know what that means.

When you don't know what to say, it's best to say nothing, so I guess that's what I'll do.
