Posted By: Mark Evans
Although I suspect that Bruce and I are very different -- from writing style to politics to views on criminal sentencing (death penalty for drug dealers?) -- I don't think he did anything wrong in purchasing the card and, beyond that, believe he makes a valuable contribution to the Board. |

I don't think we should worry about that anymore personally...it is definitely trolling behavior and Bruce thrives on that kind of attention. |

That "poor, ignorant school teacher" obviously knew he had something valuable before Bruce ever contacted him. Otherwise the article through which Bruce found out about the card would never have been written. |

I traded a 1964 Topps Rose in EXMT for 30 brand new Tony Gwynn rookies, because I knew he'd be worth more. |

I'm a long-time lurker here, seldom a writer and a long-time friend of the Dorskinds. On the topic of the Matty Boston Garter, however, I can offer an extremely unique perspective and can't resist doing so, having known the schoolteacher long before the Bruces learned that he had the card. |

I am so relieved.... In my weed smoking days I borrowed my older brothers car(Yeah Right ) and took a trip to florida from Long Island. While we were passing through the said P State, I pulled over on the side of the road to go potty. I felt convicted about going on some dude's front lawn, so I knock on the closest houses door. The gentleman invited me in without a problem to use his can. |

Peter, the only one here--other than the Bruces--familiar with the card at the time says, not only that he would have paid more, but that the Bruces paid "less than the market would have borne." |

Bruce and Dan both admitted that not only did they not know the true value of the card, they weren't even sure what it was. And given the time frame, there was no source material available to look it up. |

i dont know who you are, you have added ZERO to my honest attempt for an interesting read. you want to bash bruce or someone else, start you own thread. this is bullsh!!! because i asked the question, we got a great video, an amazing response from someone that knew the story well, and possibly some more good stuff. instead i have to sift through a bunch of stupid posts responding to you. have some class, manners, and move on. |

Posted By: john/z28jd
If Dan really would've paid more for the card why at no point before that in all those years did he even make an offer for it? If he did make an offer then why would the teacher be shocked at an offer half as much as he would be willing to spend.....unless of course Dan never made a decent offer and he too was trying to get the card from him for cheaper than it was worth. His story doesnt add up,sounds like he was willing to supposedly put one over on the teacher too but didnt get his chance to and then afterwards says he would've offered twice as much. I can say I would've offered him $5k if I knew about the card now,doesnt mean its true just because I write it long after it was even possible.If I was really willing to pay a certain amount for a card I really wanted then I would make that offer at some point |

Posted By: JimB
Boston Garters are so scarce that there is not an established market value today, in the internet age of increased access to information and multiple public auctions. What is the market value of a Matty BG today? Nobody knows! $1400 was a hell of a lot of money for a baseball card in 1978! I think T206 Wagners were going for around 3k then. Bruce does not seem like he was cheating the guy. And the guy knew what he had. He had at least two serious buyers expressing interest for years. When the right offer came at the right time, he sold it. No crime was committed. Nothing unethical happened. |

When a Person Constantly tells you he's not interested in selling a certain card, I don't think it's Proper or benefitual to start throwing offers out to him. |

Posted By: Scott Levy
I don't even understand what the argument against Bruce would be here? In the 1970s $1400 was an absolute TON of money for any baseball card. Sure the card sold for a lot more, but any card purchased at that time would be worth much more today. My dad purchased a T206 Cobb in the mid 1980's which we just sold for almost 20x the purchase price, was that unethical? Of course not, it is just a reflection of how prices of vintage cards have appreciated over time. |

I agree, I am not a Bruces fan but I see absolutely nothing wrong with what he did here. At worst, maybe they could have been annoying at trying to get the Matty but we don't even know that. I am going to say the Bruces are in the clear here and did nothing wrong at all. Great card Bruce, Dan. |
