Dan, you really should wait until the auction is over before posting, that's what the guys were angry about.

oh really? I don't remember that law when I used to be a regular here. I guess in regards that someone didn't see it?? Come on, 3 T205's at $1600+ kinda sticks out a tad I would think.

So we are not permitted to talk about ebay auctions here until they are over?

I used to post here regularly to warn people about fakes that were close and could deceive.

Heck, if I waited til those ended, it would have been too late to save anyone.

I guess I have bypassed the new rules and regulations of chat boards.

I was better off staying away it seems.

Thanks for the explanation though, I appreciate the heads up.

take care guys

please, that's weak, posting about a fake item before it is over is totally different than this. You're just looking for a reason to be mad.

There is no such rule/law and I also agree that I don't think there was anything to 'out' here.

Mad? I am not mad, what should I be mad about?

I just think it is ridiculous.

Dan I was confused as to exactly what the post was in regards to. It made no sense. I assumed it was your auction and you had some board members pestering/asking about this card and was upset and posted a thread. Now that I know what the thread was started for it still made no sense to even bother with it. Have a good one Dan.

It seems like plenty of people were either watching this auction or knew about it. I don't collect T205's much anymore and I was watching it. I don't think Dan did anything wrong at all here. Sounds like some people just want to gripe about something trivial.

These cards weren't hid away in the electronics section of ebay. They were where everyone could see them. Dan is one of the most experienced collectors around with tons of knowledge. He's also about the easiest around to deal with or get some advice when it comes to the oddball issue.

Too bad there are so many people here that choose to dump on one of the guys that could add alot to the board if he decided to post more often.

I have to wonder out of all the ones that were upset about this how many even ended up bidding...

Fair enough, but I stand by my statement. He could have easily waited 18 hours or whatever was left on the auction and then posted, to no gripes from anyone. I understand a lot of yall are personal friends, so no worries.

Hi Eric,
People out auctions on this forum all the time.... what's the big deal with this one? I don't think Dan had any agenda other than to educate those bidding, but I could be wrong, as I've only met Dan once and am not a close friend. I do have a great respect for his knowledge and his experience, and appreciate his input.
Be well Brian

PS Dan would be the last person to out an "under the radar auction", as he has won more than most of us have seen....

Several people have touched on traditional forum practice as I've always understood it to be. There is no such thing as outting an auction that is listed in its proper category. Where it was/is frowned upon is when the item is not listed in its proper category, e.g. vintage cards listed in the Electronics section.

Dan - Don't know about a brain child but I'm still wondering about a dummy.
