I met Geoff at the Toronto Expo and he was a nice guy. He made a very strong offer on my Jackie, but like the greedy SOB I am, I wanted a bit more and he didn't do it. Oh, and by the way, I ended up selling that Jackie six months later for LESS!
I like what he does on social media. He has definitely brought many people into the hobby, including the kids. This is great because if we want our cards (investments) to stay strong over the years, then we must make the newer generations interested in them.
And regarding his poor investment choices, can any of you name me some great card investors? Who bought all the right cards from 2010 to 2018 and dumped them all during the pandemic, and went laughing all the way to the bank? The biggest problem with Geoff is that he came into the hobby at the
worst possible time and it just didn't matter what he bought because
everything was gonna' come down hard. That includes Mantle, Jackie, Mays, Brady, Jordan, LeBron, etc.
And what's the real story supposed to be regarding the PPP loans? That he took 2M from the US government and spent it all on cards? lol It was all over the Internet and don't tell me that the IRS didn't see it. If that's what really happened, then they would've gone after him hard and today he would be making videos in prison lol And let's not forget that many big card guys took out PPP loans during the pandemic as well, but nobody cared.
