Default The “Buyers Group”

I’ve read through several posts regarding the issues involving PWCC and some of the auction houses. There is the occasional mention of The “Buyers Group”. I believe that Delorme was identified as one of them, but if I remember correctly he passed away. Does anyone know if any of the other “buyers” were ever identified?

I don't know that they were positively identified but there have been rumors swirling for awhile concerning some big names in the hobby. It will be interesting to see if the FBI investigation digs up some more of that dirt.

And here is the newest (youngest) baseball card in my collection. Have had it for a few years now and still enjoy it. Thanks again to the OBC guys for it.

Looks like Joe Jackson to me

Actually, I thought I read somewhere it was Gil Hodges.

Looks a little short to be Gil to me but could be.

Doesn't hurt that I'm a Brooklyn Dodgers nut, but I think it's the greatest card in the hobby.

I love that card!!!!One of my favorites.

It's a shame I won't be able to purchase one, swearing off e-bay (again) and cards in general.

Cannot add anything to the Buyers Group but always appreciated the 53B Reese. Which is why I had to buy this one when I saw it.
