This is neither here nor there, in my opinion. Save that stuff for the court room when the defendant is trying to soften their sentencing by playing into the bleeding heart of the judge.

By continuing to commit this crime after the first accusation in '09, it shows no remorse.


I get irked when people try to justify crimes - aka excuses. 99% of human beings go through some sort of adversity at some point in their lives.

I hear you. I think of Net54 as the "courtroom for vintage collectibles". I was at least wanting to hear some kind of story.

He already stated there was "no excuse".

The guy was better off just keeping his mouth shut.
No need to even plant a seed on this site.
He was obviously drunk or stoned when he posted his message as well.
Heck, makes you wonder what else this guy could be doing.

That wasn't an option. Either he would have posted or I would have. It was his choice otherwise.

I want to add a quick addendum. I think you are absolutely correct except in extraordinary cases like this. Usually, keeping your mouth shut is best. And lastly, I didn't ask for this to be part of my days. It sort of got thrown at me and something had to be done at that point. It took a little time to gather all of the info and get advice. Getting the word out asap was/is always a priority to me.

Good point Leon.
Sorry this got dumped on you.

So chances are the buyback that I have is probably not a topps buyback. Only reason I bought it was to have something a little different to go along with my back run.

This guy is a piece of crap! I never seen the old thread from 2009 until now. He stated that he didn't need the money and had 2 complete t206 sets. Wonder how many he made over all those years? Is there any way to tell which are legit topps buyback?

Wonder what topps would think of this?

They'd sue for the profits realized of course.

Sorry if I missed it, but where exactly were the new Topps "holders" obtained from?
