BRSZ - ebay seller

Below is an email I received from Broadway Ricks Strike Zone. I'm not sure how many others have received this or not. The reason I'm posting this is because I know that there are a lot of people that have dealt with BRSZ in the past and may want to comment on this so that people that don't know BRSZ and received the same email can make an informed decision on whether or not to participate in the auction that is mentioned in the email. |

For those that don't know, BSRZ is the scumbag that that got busted for shilling his own auctions and exposes were done on MSNBC and other networks. Sadly, eBay found no compelling evidence of shill bidding even though one of the accounts that bid on BSRZ's auctions had the same exact contact info as BSRZ. |

In my opinion, he is one of the biggest a-holes in the business. Having been caught shilling on ebay, does anyone think for a moment that the auction he runs will be on the level? I sure don't think so. If you are dumb enough to bid in his auction, just remember the old adage: cheat me once, shame on you, cheat me twice, shame on me. |

Don't walk but RUN the other way. One of the worst deals I ever did was with him. Took months and lot's of money to get my refund from a bad card he sold. I would absolutely discourage anyone from bidding in his auctions or doing business with his company. He is what gives the hobby a bad name. I took a flier from some big young kid promoting his crap auctions, at the National, and threw it away immediately right in front of him...without saying a word..and walked away. |

I guess my experience was not representative, but I won a PSA 9 National Game Joe Jackson in one of his auctions a number of years ago for significantly less than the "top all" bid I had left. |

As mentioned he was caught red handed shilling and it was a national media event. Everyone makes mistakes. Losers don't learn. I doubt he has..... |

I once sold Rick a group of high-grade tobacco cards and was paid promptly. Never had a problem with him. |

I bought some very nice trimmed T205s from BRick years ago. He has some of the nicest trimmed cards on the market. His trimmed cards will make a nice addition to anyone's trimmed collection. |

As far as I know he's never done anything like BRSZ. Being an obnoxious ass is not equivalent to cheating bidders, selling forgeries and trimmed cards, etc. |

Adam, very true. Rosen may be an obnoxious arse, but I'mnot aware of him doing anything as bad as BSRZ, Hagar, etc |

The only raw card I ever purchased from Broadway Rick was an M116 Pastel Cobb. The card was advertised as EX/MT and came back graded an EX 5 (which I thought was correct). I was pleased with the transaction, especially since I was able to get it at a great price b/c of his reputation of selling trimmed cards. |

I purchased a Ramly Keeler from this DIRT BAG that I sent in to be graded. It came back trimmed. After threating him with Postal Fraud he returned my money. The following month he placed the card in one of his auctions and NEVER said the card was trimmed. So... some other unfortunate collector got ripped off by this A-hole. Stay clear of him. He's right up there with Mr.Festberg in my book. |

and every card I ever bought from him is now the highest grade known version of whatever Caramel card it was now certified in a PSA holder? |

Just received an email from BRSZ addressed to "Dear Sir" (so I think it was a mass email and I don't mind sharing it here) purporting to apologize for his past indiscretions. Unfortunately, the explanation of the shill bidding is indicative of deep problems and profound denial: |

The Ali article also makes mention of B&E Collectibles. Speaking of which, they are still NARU'd despite their claim that the matter was a misunderstanding that would be cleared up shortly. In the meantime, I received my item quickly and in great shape. |

Adam, I got the same email as you. I sent a message telling them what a joke that email was and pointed all the things that they omiited or lied about in the message they sent. I also told them that that was not the only reason I disliked them, but also because of the one time I bought something from them and was treated poorly when they were confronted with the fact they sold a trimmed card and then tried cover up it with lies before finally refunding my money. Will be interesting to see if they respond. |

It jsut dawned on me that the canned "protection from spam" response is quite hillarious given the fact that he is the one that sent us email. You'd think we would be able to get through if he emailed us first |

Hi everyone, I see how bad and untrustworthy he is on cards, trimming them and not disclosing that, and shill bidding. |

I never thought a prerequisite to join the forum was that it is catered to me You make a good point about the discovery process of the T210 Stengel --- and you are right that it's as rare as Charleston, but the $6K set back? I will gladly pay $6K for Charleston on a ball, and for that Stengel --- too bad they will both set me back like $30K as the T210 Stengel got in the latest Goodwin. |

Hate to bump a thread from 7 years ago lol, but has anybody dealt with this guy since then... particularly with cards? I am interested in knowing if he's still selling trimmed raw cards, or if he's come clean?

I quit buying cards from him years ago because of problems with conditions, possible trimming and turn around times but recently bought a few from him on ebay and had no problem with the cards or the customer service.

His biggest issue was (admittedly) shilling his own auctions. I have bought from him in the last year or two, from ebay, and had no issues.

Actually I won a lot from him a couple of weeks ago. It was a Buy It Now "best offer" on an inexpensive Hall Of Famer check.
So I set the price, paid instantly and rec'd it a couple of days later. A smooth transaction. |
