Still a lot of good people in the hobby - Dave Schrader - Bagger's Sportscards

[the-illini]

I thought I would take a moment to post something to shine a little light on one of the good people working in our hobby, Dave Schrader. I won something in his recent auction, and I had an incorrect shipping address listed in his system. The item got shipped to my old address and was returned to Dave.

I contacted him and gave him the correct address, and told him to let me know how much additional I owe him for having to re-ship. He told me not to worry about it and mailed it back out at his expense. Considering the error was 100% my fault, this is more than generous.

May not seem like a lot, but it is something that I will remember when looking to buy and sell cards in the future. I am not surprised that Dave did this - he has always been great to deal with - but I wanted to share in case others haven't dealt with him; he and his company are one of the best out there, and not just for this alone...

I believe Bagger's was my first major auction house that let me sign up. He is always fair on the shipping and delivers a great product.

Chris--

I concur completely with your assessment. Dave and his wife, Meri, are among the nicest people in this hobby of ours. To wit--I showed Dave some cards a few years ago, we agreed upon a price, and then he said, "Naw, you should get more for those." He promptly upped the final amount. I was fine with the original offer, but he wanted to make certain I was treated fairly.

He will always work with a buyer or seller, and that is one of the reasons I consistently buy and sell from him. In this world of arrogant, out of touch people (not card people, of course!), Dave is a breath of fresh air.

In fact, I like Dave so much that I am going to make a martini and drink it to his health!

Cheers,
Mike

Chris, I agree about Dave.

I would like to give similar props to another auction house when I too forgot to change my address and they had to send my package twice, at no additional expense to me. Some guys named Brockelman and Luckey--perhaps you've heard of them?

[Jay Wolt]

Dave's a solid guy & runs a nice auction.

Having talked with and bought from Baggers, whether thru their auction house or buying at shows, I have to agree that Dave and Meri are very nice people.

Both thumbs up for Baggers Auctions.

Dave's a solid citizen. I've gotten a couple of sweet OJs from him and he asked for my want list to look for others. Very fair; very helpful.

I've done many trades with Dave over the past few years. He is one of my favorite dealers in this hobby and is as solid as they come.

[bcornell]

Big +1 for Dave. One of my favorites.

[Kenny Cole]

Always a good experience with him.

[Brian Van Horn]

I love dealing with Dave. It is always a pleasure.

In a hobby rife with douches and scalawags Dave is a breath of fresh air.

I will throw my hat into the ring for Dave and Meri too. They are certainly some of the best folks in the hobby.
