First-ever SGC 10 Wilt Chamberlain Rookie Graded

[Republicaninmass]

IMo What a fraud. "Private sale" the whole think just reeks.

IMO Goldin is (still) a con man

My grandmother is silently in her grave waiting for her Don West/Scoreboard inc refunds from HSN

Edited here (under penalty of lawsuit from Ken sheer moments after I was told my "info needed to be updated" and "I wasnt the only one who had been asked")

Guessing the moderator is free to disseminate our (personal) information as they see fit.

While you are busy scrubbing the internet Ken, see if you can find this quote...probably scared them off as well

""No other individual has done so much to screw over so many in this hobby. Ken Goldin was the man in charge at the now defunct Score Board, Inc. Many believe Ken Goldin pushed out countless product with autograph redemptions that he knew he wouldn't have to honor once Score Board, Inc. filed for bankruptcy. He left collector's holding now worthless redemption vouchers for the very same product he now often sells on Shop At Home for severely inflated amounts. "

So SGC already had the buyer lined up per the article. I thought Ken was no longer affiliated with PSA/SGC? Who brokered this deal?

PSA is tied in tight with eBay and Ken is part of eBay so that is a tough one to grasp since many were saying how Ken and Nat were no longer getting along. Be that as it may, I was told the buyer of the SGC 10 is from FL. SGC is in FL so maybe they contacted the person who bought it? Bigger question is why bring Ken in unless Ken is now tighter with SGC than PSA.

This is likely going to be another one of those situations where the details, which are none of our business, never come out and all of us will start presenting our theories...as I just did.

It makes no sense to me. If SGC put the parties together, and there was already the card shop guy involved too, why do you need someone else taking a fee? Assuming the buyer is who I think, he's very sophisticated and could certainly buy a card on his own.

Maybe Ken paid 100K to the seller to have his name associated with the transaction so the buyer from FL only had to put up 1.6?

The card shop dude has gotten his 15 mins of fame and then some. Was his role anything more than submitting the card to SGC? Sorry if it was mentioned but in the article he was the leading role and I was not understanding why he got top billing, other than the owner not wanting his name out there.

I dunno. I guess at these elite levels stuff goes on that the common man has no access to. Anyhow, a great deal I think for the original owner.
