Actually it's not reckless at all! There are tons of older collectors that couldn't care less about grading and graded cards, that have many amazing unslabbed items in their collections. That is one of the biggest fallacies out there, that TPG population reports accurately reflect the numbers of cards and items that exist. Especially when you start talking about post-war and more modern cards. The only thing that is truly reckless to assume is that there can't possibly be more than 34 of these samples that exist, and that every one still existing has been graded and slabbed, and/or at one time owned by you. And calling out collectors on this forum to show another doesn't prove your claim either if no one immediately comes forward with another example. Nor does claiming others don't exist because you can't find similar samples for sale when you do an online search for them. Since when does every existing example of a card or item have to be put up for sale or otherwise shown online to prove it exists either?
Only a small part of the collecting community are on Net54, and this is primarily a pre-war card collecting site, and 1966 is not pre-war. Also, there are many collectors that are very private and protective of what they have in their collections, and don't easily or often broadcast and share what they have with the rest of the world.
What is interesting though is that you join this forum just last month, and the first ever posts you have on it are to resurrect an over four year old thread about Topps salesmen's samples from 1966, basically call a poster from four years ago in this thread a liar, as another poster already pointed out, and then remarkably claim that there are only 34 Topps salesmen's samples from 1966 that still exist. And guess what, miraculously, you apparently own 31 of these 34 still existing 1966 Topps salesmen's samples that just so happen to coincidentally be up for sale currently in your Ebay store.
If your true purpose was to come on here and promote your items for sale, you should be posting this in the post-war B/S/T threads elsewhere on this forum. Just go to the top of the home page and click on the link titled "Buy/Sell/Trade Section" and you'll find the proper place for touting your goods.
Also, you even further destroy any credibility you may have initially had, regardless of how nominal it would have been to begin with anyway, when you demonstrate you can't do even simple math. You stated buying 35 of these salemen's samples five years ago, and then come on here calling out posters from over four years ago as reckless for reporting what they'd seen or heard regarding the existence of such samples, and then emphatically declaring that no more than 34 of these now exist. Soooooooo, what happened, did one of the 35 you bought got tossed or destroyed somehow? You know, its not a very good look when someone tries calling out others for their supposed inaccuracies when they themselves make inaccurate statements right out in front of everyone with their posts.
Is any of this why you now want people to simply move on...........?
