I may be a naive noob, but it seems to me it should be difficult to sell a card that he claimed as trimmed in order to keep bids down and win. Can anyone explain how to get around this?

That being said, I would be curious to know if he did place a bid after bashing it!

Back to my regularly scheduled lurking.

Rich this was on the Henry Reccius Cigar, Wagner card I think.

This may not be the exact thread....

He admitted it here.

Jim, well-put - I like the cut of your jib.

Hal and the truth were never very closely associated.

Peter: Hal, I can't believe you would trash a card you were trying to buy in an effort to keep the price down, when all along you have said it wasn't about money.

Hal: Peter, you work for corporate clients.

LOL.

Whatever happened to Hal? Did he sell off his collection?

Yes, while he was bidding on it at the same time.

i believe a divorce caused the demise of Hal's collection.

that's pretty funny!

Well, at least he kept the price down. :)

His initial post was on 4-20, long after the preview was open. Was he not allowed to put in a bid before the lot description was updated to say it might be trimmed?

If he was pondering a purchase, is not allowed to enter his horse into the race in case he decides or comes to the conclusion it is in fact not trimmed?

Maybe I am still missing something, but I don't think he actually said the card was trimmed or that people shouldn't bid on it. The only thing he really said was that he was confused at why people would bid up to the same price as card without a possible trim disclosure.

Even if he did, everyone here says it doesn't work anyway, so I guess, my only comment would be, "Who cares if he bid or not?" Do you think that "He" kept the price down, or the fact that it was disclosed as a possible trim, kept the price down?

If you don't like or respect him, why even worry yourself with what he is doing?

No, the other Kevin said it WAS trimmed. Read his first post.

The Joss PSA 8 is already over $5K with the juice. The card was announced with possible trim, which simply means it does have a trim.

I did read it.

That is a facetious comment, that you are taking at literal truth.

Kevin

And this one?

Default Joss PSA 8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love PSA more than anyone, but this card has to be trimmed...

He doesn't say that he should not bid on it, nor that anyone else should not bid on it.

The only thing he actually says is that, in a nut shell, the card shouldn't go for the same price as an 8.

Your argument and actually a lot of peoples are argument, is essentially saying, "No one should bid on it, because it is trimmed." That simply did not occur, anywhere. Anywhere you think that has happened is really you inferring something.

Kevin

I have no argument at all. You claimed he never said it was trimmed, and I merely pointed out that he did say it.

To quote you:

"Maybe I am still missing something, but I don't think he actually said the card was trimmed..."

Again, saying it "has to be" trimmed, is not saying it "is" trimmed.

The two wordings mean different things based on the context of the sentence.

Kevin

Collector: Uh, Mr. Orlando , how did the Joss card get an 8.
Mr Orlando: Uh,,, well the (huge) customer is always right.

Sure, Mr. Clinton, whatever you say. Good lord man just admit you made a mistake and move on.

Respect
 

Kevin Q,

I agree. I don't care because I have no respect for him.

When all else fails turn to pedantry.

That may be the first time I've seen that word ever used on the internet.

Scott, stop being oleaginous.

pedantry: infantry composed entirely of pedophiles

oleaginous: having the feel and consistency of oleo

Miss a day, miss a lot

I know I'm being pedantic for posting again, but I consider it a more than necessary formality;););)

I am glad I decided to read this thread.

I am still waiting to hear how this turns out...but I'm not holding my breath.
