Boy does it ever...

Ken Goldin can trace his sports memorabilia empire back to when he was 12 years old and fleeced a buddy out of his baseball card collection – swapping $50 worth of miniature racing cars for thousands of dollars worth of cards.

Goldin insists neither of them knew the value of what they were trading.

Even at the early age of 12 he was taking it to people. Did not matter that it was a friend. I guess Ken would tell us that is just the way it was done back then.

Its interesting that a person would plead his case publicly like this and it comes back and bites him in the a$$. Shades of Justice Robert Bork during confirmation hearings. In all honesty I did not know this thread existed and kind of shocked that Big Boss Kenny would take his case to the public airwaves. Amazing how he tries to rationalize his past indiscretions as how things were. So were we suppose to hand out that free pass? I guess some did. What about now in light of the recent findings? SMH

Since I posted Goldin Auctions was an advertiser, as the second post in the thread, I guess I should also say that as of today they are no longer an advertiser here.

I should add this wasn't any type of punitive decision. It's only best they don't advertise and both parties are in agreement.

The best part of this vintage thread is shill bidders attacking other shill bidders and vice versa.

We live in a capitalist society if you think about. Its competition going against competition ie/ Verizon vs All the others

This is a vintage baseball card website and most of us think it's good form to leave our politics at the door--whether about Judge (not "Justice") Bork or Verizon or the evils of capitalism or whatever. This Board is replete with highly informed people right, left and center who have enough respect for others to leave gratuitous partisan and ideological jibes to other venues. Thanks for your consideration.

You seriously want to try and deflect while lecturing people on what they should and shouldn't be discussing on a OPEN Forum?

This as you are well aware of has absolutely nothing to do with politics and everything to do with relevent past on the record boastful comments and in the news court documents that many individuals apparently don't have the courage or decency to address by going on the public record for fear of reprisal.

Yes this board is esteemed and much of the conversation is in regards to vintage baseball cards but this hobby as your well aware of has other venues as evidenced by the memorabilia/game used section at the top of this site.

The entire hobby has been and continues to be negatively effected by yet ANOTHER SCANDAL and the lack of integrity/ethics by many of its key players.

If you want to talk about the facts of this discussion than fire away but if your on some PC discounting agenda you might be better served heading to Washington and hanging with the rest of the politicians.

The wheels of justice turn slow but in time we will all get to watch many more self important individuals in the industry do their own version of the perp walk

I've never seen that before.

Was that Robert Downey Jr. on the far left?
