How would you react to a personal attack (by SGC)?

Jeff,

You are absolutely right that I should be keeping detailed records of each transaction. In reality, almost all of my own card purchases are either directly for my rather meager collection (which rarely get sold) or as a gift (usually to dad).

But I guess laziness is damn poor legal excuse and if I'm gonna be dumb enough to admit this to the world .... I ought to be smart enough to change my ways.

leon, wonka, to frickin' funny. popcorn guy. man, what makes me laugh sometimes.

SARCASM! That's The Ticket. SARCASM makes the world go 'round

[ullmandds]

As much as I love sarcasm...good old ass kissing seems to be what makes the world go round!

Scott-you consider Wonka a personal and hobby friend-is that right? but you used the money we got you back from Chan to outbid him on a Plank that you know he was bidding on and needed for his collection. Also I believe you own a PSA 4 Plank.

I held on to the information because I wanted to give you two the benefit of the doubt but you brought this to the board.

The personal attack seems to be on SGC-looks like you wanted SGC to pay out brown Old Mill money to cover a auction debt.

I think your ego and the mighty dollar has put a major dent in your integrity.

I think you should have taken what SGC was offering and let this one go.

There is still some other facts left out but not needed as the damage is done.

note to self-keep Wonka on you side, you will be very unhappy if he is not.

Jim,

First, I do consider Wonka to be a friend. And if my dad outbid him on a Plank it was almost certainly because I didn't know he was bidding on that same card. And my sincere apologies if I heard that information and somehow forgot.

If I had a "do-over", I'd ask for a few others opinions to see if they thought what my dad I and saw was worthy of some sort of variation and would probably have submitted the card to SGC for their opinion pre-auction. To be perfectly fair, the whole situation could have been handled in a more pristine fashion on our end.

I am just really upset with how SGC handled the whole incident. To some they have a "sterling reputation". But I thought that the combination of how SGC forces a resolution that they deem acceptable on the timeframe that they deem acceptable and then insults those that won't comply with their demands was very poorly handled.

I'm willing to acknowledge that my dad (with my advice) could have handled the situation with greater care. As for SGC their response to this whole thread ......

....... insert sounds of crickets ..........

I thought the point of the thread was to see what we thought, so was it really to try to get a different reaction from SGC? Seems that SGC has spoken, maybe not perfectly, but nothing else presented seems to require any further reply from them.

Jeff,

Cards are always sold for a loss.

Boy, the IRS could have some fun with some who post here.

Is this what they mean by No Good Deed Goes Unpunished?

The nail has been struck firmly on the head!!!

Nice Jim, and Greg S., u will always have a friendly spot on my table at any National!!!!

[Peter_Spaeth]

How much did SGC offer you and what were you demanding?

[cfc1909]

as you can tell my wife is the English major-not me.

I really hate these kind of threads and usually stay far away from them but sometimes you just need to post...

[chaddurbin]

with how this thread is going...sgc should lower their offer, whatever it was.

[danmckee]

Can we please see exactly what SGC wrote to be so insulting? I am not a huge fan of grading but SGC is by far the best and I personally know most of those guys and I would be very shocked if they were unproffessional.


At this point in this incident, I am standing behind SGC. They are good guys who will listen to reason and will listen to information from people.

I'm consistently amazed at how open people are out here -- a public chat board -- about flouting the tax laws. Spend a year with the IRS doing a full audit and I'm guessing the behavior will change.

Jeff, you are so right! As a federal employee, I know some would be scrambling if Uncle called them out!!

Wait, wait, wait!!! We are allowed to SELL cards that we have purchased?


Damn. Please, no one tell my wife.
