Mike Piazza post 9/11 jersey at Goldin

[ooo-ribay]

IMO, Goldin and the consignor totally made out. To me, they held this jersey for ransom and sold it for way more than it would have realized at auction. I mean, $365K for a Piazza jersey? C'mon!

I think most AHs have pulled an item for one reason or another and sold privately. Ameen

If you look upon the history of Ken's company it hasn't been around that long and I don't recall him every pulling items off the block unless the item had a question mark. They were honest and forthcoming about pulling the item off the auction and that is something they didn't have to too but did. They stately exactly what they're intentions were and it did seemly so appear to be for the right cause. The jersey will be displayed and agreement was one of the factors that the buyers had to agree upon. For historical purposes they did baseball fans a great justice. IMO I think the company's intentions were good for baseball and for recognition of that horrific day. As far as the money that changed hands I can only say it is a company that exist in the free world to make money. All companies and corporations in the free world exist to make money. The bottom line is they did it all with good intentions.

I don't think there's any use. If the next story about Goldin is how he ran into a burning building to save a kitten, a couple members here would find a way to blame him for something.

I don't know you, Ron, and don't think I've ever dealt with you, but is it a burden to have led such a flawless life that you can condemn others so righteously? Or is there some hidden agenda here?

A smart person would just keep their mouth shut & handle biz but not U bro U feel the need 2 brag 2 the world how great it was that the City of NY basically got held hostage 2 obtain a part of their history back with ties to a tragedy where thousands lost their lives all while acting like you performed some honorable service (Way 2 go Kenny your the man thats awesome bro!!) and if thats not bad enough U go on & on how this is the only time you’ve ever pulled an auction item 4 private sale which we both know is a lie.

A man with any self respect would address & take honest responsibility 4 himself which would afford you the opportunity 2 grow-up and learn something besides blaming others 4 your actions as opposed 2 turdish censorship attempts internet wide utilizing fake accounts/plants and henchman on collector forums 2 continually try 2 obstruct & deflect away from the truth which would be laughable if it wasn’t so sick & twisted.

This isn’t about me, and sorry bro but I haven't made the same mistakes hundreds of times over the past 25-years that I keep disingenuously apologizing 2 the world 4. Playing the part of a victim 2 the hobby bravo as that would require an academy award performance 4 anyone with a pulse 2 bite off on that.

Time 2 look in the mirror, grow up and stop playing the part of a dumb clown along with lame attempts at bullying collectors. U want respect and admiration but yet U know exactly why your despised industry wide which is why you and that nerdlinger Christy Cavalier teamed up and felt the need 2 takeover, silence and 4 all intensive purposes take away GUU from the very collectors it was founded 2 protect while turning it into the propaganda machine/industry joke that it is today. ( The 10-12 daily posts speaks volumes 2 the respect the hobby has 4 your Bozo & Nerdlinger show)

Like it or not friend the truth always comes out

Is this a reply to my post??

Completely off the topic, and maybe it's just my old age showing through, and apologies to anyone who takes what I am about to type as a show of disrespect towards any individual, but I very much enjoy reading words that are written out in their entirety and not abbreviated in "text speak".

Text speak came about because typing entire words was fairly complicated when using a telephone keypad to do it, but now we have auto-spell which can change those abbreviations into full words.

I'm not an English major, and I'm sure that my grammar is probably terrible, but I often try to think about what I typed after I type it, which often leads to me deleting posts before I actually post them, but this time I couldn't help myself.

Not going 2 read this post b4 I post and u get a chance to read it.

lol
