At this point, a million dollars of Jeff's money won't buy the card.... I do not do business like that period!

I don't care about "the hit" The problem with the hobby is it is all about money, I will gladly get buried with this card, I do not need the money... GET IT?

What difference are you even talking about? The article doesn't even list the guys counter-offer after he backed out of the deal.

If I agreed to buy a raw card from you for $500, then when you got it back from SGC I said actually, I'll only pay $300, would you be fine with splitting that difference? You'd probably tell me to take a hike for backing out of a deal.

A deal made for a raw card is just as valid as a deal made for a graded card. Deals like that happen every day with just front and back scans.

Bingo Luke! Thanks for the sensible post! Dan

Zinn's daughter wrote he was Jewish on the record for the HOF? That is pretty solid evidence.

His death certificate [http://thedeadballera.com/DeathCerti...nn.Guy.DC.pdf] lists his father as Noah Zinn.

Odds are his father was Jewish ahd his kids considered themselves Jewish, if that is what she wrote.

His grave isn't of use; he's buried in a non-denominational graveyard in WV.

The rest is speculation.

I guess if Dan had sold the card for $10,000 Zinn would have been Jewish...


I had nothing to do with him being Jewish, and could care less either way as I collect the Baltimore News Schedule cards.

You people are way to into the value part of the hobby, I have refused tons of money for cards that I will never be able to sell later for the same amount.

I don't think Adam's "sour grapes" remark was directed at you. If I read him right, he's commenting on the fact that the article on Zinn not being Jewish appears on the Jewish Baseball Website. This website, according to the New York Times article, was created by Mr. Aeder, the prospective buyer of the card.

Bingo..... Man you people are not as dumb as I look :)

I guess the logic is, if I can't have a card I need from my collection to be complete, I'll make it so I don't need the card anymore. And BOOM! Collection complete. :)

Bingo again! You are all learning that Aeder is a cry baby.

Who cares/..... I am keeping it so if it is valued at $100 or $1,000,000.00 doesn't matter.... I have tons of other expensive cards so means nothing to me!

Bingo again!! Some of you are much smarter than others here :)

Thanks Mark, you are a good friend

danmckee 01-22-2017 04:24 PM

When this first happened I posted here asking if anyone has done business with Aeder because I had a bad transaction. One guy answered that this was the funniest thing he had ever heard.... well I hope he read the article.


Personally I thought the card belonged in Jeff's museum even though I never part with my schedule cards.


But with a deal gone sour, I am very happy to keep it whether it is worth the $2K I paid for it or not.

I've seen complaints here all the time about eBay photos that are doctored to make a card's condition look better than it really is. I'm not saying that Dan did that. I don't know Dan, but everyone here seems to speak highly of him so I'm sure that isn't the case. I'm just saying that that seems to be what the dispute is about, whether the condition of the card is actually the same as it appeared in the photos.

This is ridiculous, I do not doctor photos, the guy viewing them is a complete ignorant non collecting idiot.

Someone please send me Irv's ebay ID so I can block it, anyone comparing me to that scumbag battlefield has no right ever doing business with me. Look at my feedback as darby-s, this is completely unwarranted.

danmckee 01-22-2017 04:58 PM

Of course it didn't look like a 1, it is a gorgeous card, has color all the way to the edge like a 1971 topps, has a horizontal crease and a tiny spot of paperloss on back. Killer eye appeal but a technical grade of 1, and all he wanted was that it was authenticated because he is too stupid to know the cards himself. Let some 25 year old kid tell him it is real, well I didn't need that when I just mashed those Washington Times cards on ebay..... No need for some punk grading service to tell me they are real......

I am gone

Did you read my next post after the one I posted above, or did you conveniently skip that one so you could add drama to this one?

While you go retrieve that one to quote, read the one above and tell me where I personally accuse you of actually doing that. :confused:

danmckee 01-22-2017 05:33 PM

Sadly Irv, I do not read well at 54 years old and a Redneck

But I truly hope you do not think I am near the scumbag Battlefield is.

I am a collector at heart and pride myself on good business.

Sorry I missed your follow up posts

I used to thrive on here, probably started more crap than I should have and was a real asshole at times.... Now I am old and too thin skinned to come back, kinda sad as I could really bring a lot of quality knowledge about the 1987 Topps set that I specialize in.

Dan,

I have always wondered what kind of wood is used in the borders of the 1987 Topps set.

My gut says oak, but I wouldn't rule out bamboo (though that species wasn't as trendy 30 years ago.)

It was made from wood grain paneling stripped from the basement of a 1960's home or old medical office in a TB ward.

I just bought a T205 Broadleaf from Dan and no complaint about his scans. Good person to deal with in my opinion.

There is a thread on the autograph forum about the 1987 Topps Baseball set that may be one of the most fascinating threads on this entire forum. And I'm not even kidding.

frankbmd 01-22-2017 08:40 PM

Dan,

I agree with you. As a 1987 Topps specialist, I have asked only you a question on Net54 and all I get is a bunch of fodder from a half a dozen other yahoos.:D


or is it 7 or 8 yahoos by now?;)

I too have bought from Dan. A beautiful T206 John Ganzel PSA 4.5 to be exact. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the card looked after receiving it, never thinking it could be as beautiful in hand as it looked in Dan's crystal clear scans. :)

I've only Purchased one item from Dan in the past and it was one of the best transactions . He had a card listed in his Darby's eBay store that I really wanted as a buy it now ,but was out of my price range. His listing included a make an offer option. After contacting him he gave me a very fair price and also allowed me to pay it off in 3 installments . Since the card was very rare and ungraded I was unsure if it was altered and told him I was sending it to a grading co.to in -case it for protection. He concluded our transaction by telling me not to worry that if the card did not get a numerical grade I could send it back for a full refund. The card came back with a favorable grade . Truly amazing customer service and a pleasure to deal with.

Dan the man! One of the true real guys of the hobby and in the top class of knowledge here in the board. One of my favorite cards he sold me two decades ago was a Joe DiMaggio Zeenut card with coupon and he was flexible on price which I appreciated. Plus, he is a great buyer as he doesn't even haggle that much which I feel is a lost art. Dan is like EF Hutton of the stock market. When Dan talks, collectors should listen. I know I do and I'm thankful to have him as a longtime friend.

Leon 01-25-2017 05:35 AM

Dan is always easy to work with.

For those who have not met Dan, he is one of the foremost experts on T206 oddities, amongst other early baseball collectibles.

I am fortunate to (still) be able to collect with my dad - and we have done several transactions with Dan. Dan has a truly remarkable collection and tends to price cards to remain in his collection (which I fully understand) but occasionally I just can't help myself.

On the other hand, when Dan has purchased an item from my dad or I, it's a very straightforward process ... "what are you asking for this xx card?" Once answered, this is followed immediately by either a payment or a small smile with "I'll pass".

Congrats Dan on some well deserved fame.

Congrats on the article Dan. Also do you have any of those rare Farino cards? :)
