I love the way that you run the forum Leon!!

Sure there are rules, but everything doesn't have to be black and white (like some other sites that shall remain nameless). This thread isn't hurting anyone, its not malicious and it is enjoyable to watch!

I agree. This is good entertainment for some of us. Someone should call A&E and get a "Card Wars" TV show started. They would have all their personalities right here on the forum. Brokering big money deals in front of everyone, soak or don't soak, cracking open slabs, fellow dealers screwing each other and being called out, real or fake cards...it's like a middle aged mans soap opera. Love it.

Then they could head over to the autograph side...

Although things have been somewhat quiet there lately. Everyone playing nicey nice.

Ralph---I would say Sean made a very good offer of 24K---I would say the Ruths would sell for $1000-1200---From what I see from your scans, collection looks good (lower grade but looks like alot of stuff)--It would help if you provided a few more details----I did email you and you responded where you wanted my phone number, which I sent you, but I didnt receive a call.---Again from what I see of the scans---I would take the 24K.

Thanks to all for comments, encouragement, opinions, and suggestions

I now have the paint remover and scrub brush out and erasing my comment of -

I will NOT break up collection and sell one set to this guy, one set to that guy

Aahh....finding out its in my best interest to possibly try and sell it one at a time...throw one to this auction house..throw one on ebay..sell one to this guy,etc..

My advantage is there is no urgency to sell ASAP

Thanks for those pictures Ralph. Its beautiful to see all four of the Goudey Ruths sitting together.

ralph is a standup person best of luck man ,,

there are like 5 or 6 stages when trying to sell a collection...it like losing a loved one...

1. first you think when try to sell it suddenly there will be ZERO market out there and you don't want to get stuck holding the bag

2. then you just hope to get something, and are happy when you start to get offers in

3. Then suddenly it hits you, maybe you maximize what you can get and realize you don't have to sell immediately

4. Then you start to think about missing the cards and now that you know they have value you start second guessing

5 Then you really not attempt to sell your cards anymore unless you get a unrealistic BIN price you see on ebay

6. Go back to 1..

many of those ruths are only in the 1000-2000 range and would be required to get a big offer like seams..

I guess my 2% offer over Jason's turns out to be 0 since he offered 0....got to hand it to sean hes not all talk...

I have no interest losing $$ on a low grade collection. As for Sean a doubt he will follow through. If so take it and run Ralph. Nice collection and a lot of completion! Sean if you buy and flip it for profit you can call me on my stuff. Also I am hoping you followed up with Leon per our last phone conversation to shed light on what happened considering you had Leon call me with threat over suit. Perhaps you can clear my good name and water under the bridge. I can forgive and move on. Make this deal with Ralph then we can talk on my stuff.

it not a good start to clear your good name when you state you will pay 10% over sean..and basically implying sean is lowballing so you can make a blanket offer above ...then when he makes an offer now you say its so high you cant beat it....those positions a bit opposite...just saying....

[1952boyntoncollector]

ralph seemed to go from step 1 to step 5 really fast

first says he knows about the offers from dealers and that they have costs etc which will account to their offer price but its fine and wants to sell all at once..

then everyone is saying 24k more than enough and to take it and run

now ralph thinking he can get more and suddenly not interested in selling despite multiple posters stating 24k up front right now is a really really good deal.....so much in fact that they don't think Sean is serious..

Ralph went from selling all to now going through the long hard process of breaking up cards paying AH fees and hoping it adds up better then the offer he received..just breaking even wouldn't be a good deal with all the time and effort involved in breaking things up and logistics, dealing with multiple buyers/issues etc...

he can do what he wants...just interesting to see the steps play out...

That happened 13 months ago. I'm confused - why is this being rehashed?

Agree it's really silly when people bring up year old drama that nobody seems to care about, especially when it really only revolves around them and perhaps one other person.
