stolen cards
I am amazed that it was David Festberg that was caught doing this stealing, I knew David when he was younger and his mom would set up, she was a great lady, he was around since the 70's....I heard he had gone through some tougher times, but wow, what a shame...

David had a weekly auction in SCD in the early to mid-1990s. He had some great stuff in there. He did go to India at one point. I saw him when he got back and was set up at White Plains. He had lost a lot of weight but seemed happy and healthy. I am shocked to hear this. What a pity!

Bought quite a bit of stuff from Festberg in the day. He also bid on and won 3-4 items from the Barry Halper auction for me. A shame where he's wound up now. Remember getting a lot of T330 Piedmont BB Stamps from him in one of his auctions. Wish I still had them......probably 35-40 total.

Just added a back picture guys....
Festberg smoked me once, I left a ceiling bid on a Washington times card of $2400. The auction ended late Saturday night so I looked Monday and it showed I won the card for $800. Days later a bill comes for $2400. I call Dave and he tells me his employee forgot to enter the bids. I am like "come on Dave" Really? Well I had to have the card so I just ate it. Dan Mckee |

Yogi is dead. And so is the future of the English language in India.

Seems like Yogi David has had a rough time since coming back to the US. Maybe he should have a hamburger and call it a day.
Not Yogi David |

By back do you mean you’re allowed in the White Plains show again? Since the charge was thrown out? That’s where you were arrested for stealing 50s cards from a buddy of mine. Seeking clarity. |

Yeah this whole story smells very similar to other hobby Stalwarts...convicted of crime(s) in the past...now rehabilitated through religeon/meditation.
If the story is in fact true I cannot feel bad for you David Festberg. You were a dick to me at a show many years ago...i’m sure you wouldn’t remember! #me2 |
