Hal Lewis trashing the card as being a tribute card and not a true rookie while one of the first ones to surface was up for auction; with the purpose of keeping the price down so he could win it.

Is there a thread you can llink to on the Hal Lewis issue

[CamaroCPA]

I may be a naive noob, but it seems to me it should be difficult to sell a card that he claimed as trimmed in order to keep bids down and win. Can anyone explain how to get around this?

That being said, I would be curious to know if he did place a bid after bashing it!

Back to my regularly scheduled lurking.

Rich this was on the Henry Reccius Cigar, Wagner card I think.

This may not be the exact thread....

Hal and the truth were never very closely associated.

Peter: Hal, I can't believe you would trash a card you were trying to buy in an effort to keep the price down, when all along you have said it wasn't about money.

Hal: Peter, you work for corporate clients.

LOL.
