Goldin Auctions Summer Spectacular Auction...featuring Kobe Bryant Memorabilia

Ken, noted however this certain site/seller has quite a few major cards up for sale, of which the owners have commented on the board that it was on the up and up.

This is why I was confused it didn't seem as simple as a fraudster with a fake eBay or website. More like two folks both looking to sell the same card.

I think it was established on the CU forum that this guy was not entirely "on the up and up." I could have misread the thread you provided, but it seems as though the owner of the Wagner was vouching for the eBay listing, not the website you previously posted about (the man who runs the website is not the same man who is selling the Wagner on eBay). You can add whatever cards you would like into your cart on that website, but I am fairly certain many of them are not in his possession.

I recently met with and purchased a card from the broker in question. Despite the website, I can offer firsthand that he was communicative, reliable, prompt, informative, and delivered a quality card at the best price I've seen it offered since 2011. His knowledge of cards and the market was thorough, and he was very affable as well. Just felt it right to throw that account into the discussion.

Does he have a name?

Peter I think his name is Jason and he used to work for Memory Lane?

I also think the website and the eBay seller are one and the same. I think this was a case of the consignor having the card shopped by the other company prior and then giving it to Ken and not telling the above company/person to yank it down

That's my guess.

Cheers,

John

BINGO
life goes on....no blood no foul

Ahhh this gives me an idea as a future consignor give the same card to multiple auction houses at the same time and let them fight it out whoever gets the highest price gets the sale.

MattyC · #9 06-11-2013, 10:34 AM

Yes his name is Jason Stern. I would buy from him again, having met him. Far less concerned with web design than I am his ability to track down cards I want that meet my eye-appeal standards-- and most of all at a fair price.

Thanks for the info John. It is now gone, poof, from the site. Rather then get into it, lets just state that my original comment was correct, it has been in my vault for this auction since early March, and no one else is or was authorized to offer it for sale. I am glad it was caught before the auction opened Monday
