Hey Matt,

Amid all of the puerility of this thread, this really is a nice pickup. Congrats!

Fraud isn't puerile.

It is interesting that certain people target certain auction houses while a certain auction house stays out of the line of fire. If you are going to poke and investigate every card in Bill's auction, why don't you do the same for all the auction houses? Or you could just use your time doing something else more fun? Just a thought. Too much negative press here all the time. I have never had an issue with getting paid in Bill's auction. My topple bids don't get run to the top and stop short. I will only leave a topple bid in Goodwin. Cards get re auctioned all the time from all auction houses. It is the way things are going these days. My 2 cents.

Which auction houses are kept out of the line of fire?

Let me count them: REA, Sloate (RIP), B & L, Huggins & Scott.

Those in the line of fire: Mastro/Legendary, Mile High, ML, Goodwin.

Are the two groups at all different to you?

I have had nothing but positive experiences in Bill's auctions; he is a pleasure to work with. I won two lots last night, the American Caramel Ruth and the Num Num set, both at under my max bids. I also know the winner of four of the Leaf football lots, including the $71,000 Luckman. Those were real wins by a real person.

There seems to be a problem with goodwin's shipping department... did anyone else NOT get a catalog?

GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a hobby! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're acting! You've turned an enjoyable little collection, that normal people do as a lark, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME! I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves? You, with the toughest want list, you must be almost 60... when was the last time you kissed a girl? I didn't think so! So... venture out of your apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just baseball cards, damnit, IT'S JUST BASEBALL CARDS!

J/K; much love to everyone on this Rosh Hashana (even you goyim; you know, the ones who eat mayonnaise).

Exhibitman, with all due respect, but you've got to be kidding. So just because it's baseball cards means suspected instances of fraud should be treated differently than those that occur, say, in the securities business? Recently in a private transaction I acquired a rare card. The price was based on a reported auction transaction that, based on subsequent information, I now have reason to believe was a sham. So, yes I get the card I wanted, but at a price probably substantially higher than it would have cost had reported "market transactions" been based on real happenings. Maybe had this happened to you you would not be upset. But I am and I don't believe that fraud should be condoned in baseball cards anymore than in other businesses, and that open discussions of suspected instances should be scornfully dismissed.

Corey- in all fairness to Adam, he was parodying a sketch from SNL that William Shatner hosted quite a few years ago.

Rich Klein · #14 09-20-2009, 07:58 PM

That's why Adam posted that J/K (Just Kidding) at the end of that post. Barry nailed it; it was dripping with sarcasm about everything.

And thus; that will probably be Adam's last attempt at humour
