Keep seeking that attention Mary, it will come. BTW....Still arguing with yourself on Twitter and FB? News flash! Nobody listens to anything that comes out of that mouth of yours. If you're still bored go back and jack off to your cards, I think that new Chase of yours needs a good facial ;)

Keep trying to claim fraud on everybody because AS USUAL you don't have a f*cking clue what you're talking about. Now go back under that rock you crawled out from this morning.

calvindog 05-22-2014 03:36 PM

Glenn, yes last time you got banned, of course I remember. You were using multiple Net 54 IDs to try to sell a $1000 card. You seem to have come a long way since then.

This is the same guy that posted "I'll take it" in a sale thread of mine and then decided to renegotiate the deal with me and then ultimately backed out. Then followed up with threats in PMs. All class - all the time.

I believe that was the last time I posted something for sale on the BST. So, he's got that going for him, which is nice.

Joey is on an official break from the board (banned). He sent me an email last night asking to be banned and I obliged. We get a lot of guys on the board with situations and I think he really needs some help. I don't think he's that bad of a guy and has a medical issue he needs to be treated for. I could be wrong on that..... But please don't ask him questions or go on and on about him as he won't be able to respond now. I have no idea if he will be allowed or want to come back in the future. It won't be for a quite a while, at least. As for Glenn, I don't see him ever being allowed on the board again. He might sneak back in and if he does I hope someone alerts me as they usually do. Carry on....

This is about the 11th forum Joey has been banned from: comics, autographs, cards, coins, electric trains, etc. lol. And there are threads here from 2012 and 2013 which parrot this one to a T: Joey getting caught lying and cheating, denying it at first, then issuing massive mea culpas and promising never to do it again, that he has mental problems and will get better, and that he hopes everyone gives him a second - no third - woops, I mean fourth chance. And of course the fraud continued unabated up to today, yet never did he admit that was engaging in fraud. At least in one of the prior threads he described himself as a "scumbag" -- that was a highlight for me. Might have been the only honest thing he ever said out here.

Exactly...he gave us a good year or so to try and forget his prior behavior and he seemed to be fitting in nicely with the photo collector crowd...it was easy to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm guessing pretty much everyone who knew of his past was having doubt.

No he isn't logged in. A banned member can't login.

I should add that it is probably a caching issue on your computer. It happens frequently to me.

MikeMankin 05-24-2014 02:42 PM

Well, I haven't piped in yet, so here goes:

Count me in as another that is thankful to Jeff for his time & fine work in these matters.
There is a big difference between one who apologizes, admits guilt & will work on their problem after getting caught compared to one who does it because they want to better themselves. Joey did not start this thread with apologies & guilt admitting, he came up with this after Jeff proved he has continued his old behavior.
Also, I am fascinated by Jeff's ability to weed out these frauds, alts, etc....
For example, how did you know this other guy that Leon also banned was an alt and exactly who he was?

It's kind of weird that anyone would be double-checking to make sure a banned member isn't logged in. On my list of Saturday afternoon things to do, that one's right below watching a movie on the Lifetime channel.

I see that and am not sure how that happened. Most likely it had to do with him being allowed on the board but not the BST. That is a very unusual situation. I double checked and banned members can't log in and clicked some more buttons "no" so that should do it. I know a regularly banned person can't log in unless there was a major software glitch. I doubt very much he will be able to login again. I hope members will let me know if they see him or Willrich come back. Willrich has sneaked back in a few times before.

Must be tough for Glenn not to be able to sell those $35 cards on BST and then flip out when there isn't a stampede to buy them.

Runscott 05-25-2014 08:17 AM

I just raised the prices on all my cards to at least $36, to cover what I like to call 'the Calvindog line'. Hopefully everyone understands, and also credits me appropriately when using my new term.

I just took all of my "$1 card box" cards off of the BST in embarrassment. I am not worthy....

Frozen in Time 05-25-2014 12:17 PM

As some of you have already posted, I too felt very badly upon hearing of Joey's loss. Although subsequent posts have filled in other details that I was not aware of, I'm still not 100% sure of the consensus as to the veracity of his initial post.

Was there a robbery?

Sounds like a thread in the making.. "Sub Calvindog line cards.. Post 'em if you got 'em!" Speaking of which, I've been adding lots of nice E220, E121 and E122s through Just Collect that meet the criteria. Nice, relatively rare, and very affordable. Love 'em.

Sean1125 05-25-2014 06:28 PM

I have been travelling the past week and won't be back until Thursday. I need to catch up on this thread. As for Joey's medical condition, I believe what he told me (more psychological than medical). It is my job to read people so take that as you may. I still did speak with someone on the night of this thread (do not know what went on past page 2 or 3 except when I skipped to 12... need to catch up) and thought from the beginning it was complete BS...

I just finished catching up. I think everyone needs to crack a case, light one up, and have a long hiatus from arguing. :)

That happened to me in Brooklyn 25 years ago. My entire childhood collection was stolen, plus some valuable cards I obtained as an adult. Later on I came across my collection at a show, but had no way to prove it.

Cherish the memories and try to resume collecting to heal the wounds.

Difference is yours was stolen his wasnot!!;)

D. Bergin 05-27-2014 01:28 PM

What I'm seeing in this whole thread, is a guy that seems to have spent a significant portion of his actual income on these baubles, while at the same time putting himself in a horrible position to actually be able to sell these baubles, once it comes time to have to replace this lost income, whether it be on Ebay or on the BST.

Thus resorting to these elaborately clumsy attempts to try and move his possessions.

Just send them to an auction house Joey. Even with the consignment fees, you'll realize far more then you ever could, selling them under your own wrecked reputation.

It's been a long time since it happened, but I've been robbed, I know what it feels like. The suspects were caught both times. The actual cards were recovered once, and I was somewhat re-imbursed by the Insurance company the other time. Police reports were filed both times. I'm dumbfounded Joey hadn't filed a police report if this was an actual event. I'm guessing it is not.

Consign them away Joey. It will make your life a lot easier, and less complicated, rather then having to keep track of all these lies.

Leon, it was a good idea.

I met Joey Saturday for the first time - had coffee and a long pleasant conversation. Since I only live 20 minutes away from him, it seemed like a good idea. I hadn't planned to post anything about it, and won't respond to questions about him, but here are a few thoughts.

I agreed with Leon's post above before I talked with Joey, and I still agree with it after having met him. I have no idea if Joey really got robbed or not - the subject didn't cross my mind until he was gone. But I know that this forum, being the community where he's made a bunch of hobby friends and had a lot of fun, is important to him. Now that he has said that he had everything but a few items stolen, re-selling said stolen items by himself would be pretty much impossible. So they might as well be stolen. I bought the Jackson painting. I had mixed thoughts about it, since by buying it I was allowing Joey to succeed at circumventing his B/S/T ban. But I actually wanted the painting and thought it should be off the market ASAP - it had already been on ebay briefly, which seemed wrong. So now that part of the drama is done with.

So now Joey no longer has anything that he can sell other than a few basketball photos that he said were inexpensive. Knowing self-control was going to be a problem, he asked to be banned, and he has been. Not making excuses for him, but not sure what else we can do here to make ourselves feel any better.

I should've listened to you guys.

Wasn't this the same person that said he won the Brown Old Mill back on eBay for cheap, relatively speaking, a while back?

What eBay name did he use this time? :D

At least that makes sense -- unlike his failure to post the police report or pictures of all his beloved pictures which were supposedly stolen. I guess he just figured if he walked around the block a few more times the balance of his collection would be out there on the street, waiting for him.

I believe he probably couldn't keep up with all of his lies/stories. I actually feel sorry for the guy. I think he has a real mental issue. Hopefully he gets some help.

Guys enough already....

Now that Joey is back, can he please post the photos that were stolen and a copy of the police report so we know if we own any "hot" items? Clearly this is why he voluntarily kicked himself off the board. He was feeling the heat of making up a fake crime.

Wow. Riveting read. Had to get up to speed in one night but wow.
