I believe "Yogi Raj David" above is longtime dealer and hobby character David Festberg, who moved to India some years ago to practice yoga, but maintained a home in upstate New York. See this Net54 thread from 10 years ago:
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=92635 He used to have weekly phone auctions in SCD in the early-to-mid 90s, from which I got many great type cards for my then-burgeoning collection. He was very nice about breaking up lots to let me buy one card, since I was a poor grad student at the time. I met him in person at the 1993 National in Chicago. |

That is one heck of a first post. Namaste.

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 |

I was perusing this thread at lunchtime at work and have to say I've been sitting here for about half an hour reading, very entertained. Wow and WTF! I haven't been to a show in probably a decade and never one outside of NC. I never really considered theft as a "thing" at card shows, but I'm sure it's happened many times before. Shaking my head...
That really sucks about the '55 Clemente, I hope the gentleman somehow gets it back.

Several billion to spend in the hobby should be able to buy most cards in existence I imagine. Keep us updated on your progress. It will make for a most entertaining thread.

And what a story it will make rounding the news and auction circuit scene - local TV station conglomeration funds billion-dollar-plus vintage baseball card buyout bonanza...

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 |
