Why would you leave the boards just because you sold your cards? So you lost your cards, did you lose your passion for cards too? Maybe it's just me, but I don't get it.

Agreed. I haven't collected baseball memorabilia in many years but still enjoy reading the board and occasionally posting. You don't need a collection to hang around here.

Occasionally posting?

I think it might have been some A-holes with predatory PMs concerning his cards. Sometimes folks should think before they act like effing vultures. There is a time and place for everything and this wasn't the time for going for the jugular....LL

That's a shame. Unfortunately that happens way too much - preying on the vulnerable. Now I understand his decision. Thanks for shedding some light on the situation.

Sad that we have some A-holes that would do that on this board.

Man, that's shameful.

I sympathized and offered him a 1% consignment rate and free advice if he wanted it.

I hope I was not one of the predatory ones

Hopefully he wouldn't take that message that way. Seems you were trying to help. I don't think that was the case with quite a few others. I told him that with around 5500 members there are bound to be some a-holes. Just a really bad time for the gentleman. I can't blame him for being pissed off.. It reflects poorly on our board too. So much is good but then this kind of stuff happens (as I shake my head).

Sean1125- Nope - not you.

It is saddest when we hurt those who are suffering the most.

Okay, I compulsively post.

I'm in denial.

[BruceinGa]

Tomman, best of luck. I agree with most poster here, there's no need to leave the board permanently.

Perhaps this kind of behavior could be curbed if names were named? I know that stuff trumps all in this hobby, but this is really beyond the pale.

If the original poster wants to but I doubt he will.. I don't know who any are.
