joe brennanIn the last few days I have been sadden by events that have led me to this decision. I no long want to be associated with Pre War collectors and the cards themselves. If you click on my link you will find about 120 Graded T206's that are for sale. This is not a fire sale as money is not the reason I am leaving the hobby. I understand this should be posted in the B/S/T thread and if Leon is kind enough to let this run for a few days becasue I am here to post the reasons.
Integrity is a very important part of life and if you have lost faith in the people around you, there is no reason to associate with them any longer.
I truly believe that there are some fine people in the hobby but with all the shady dealings , scammers and inability or willingness to out obviously shady auction, I find my self disappointed in people that I trusted would do the right thing.
Therefore, I will pursure other avenues that hopefully have a strong moral integrity and a hobby that has less contriversy around every corner and people that have the same moral values that I think I possess.
Thank you for listening and I hope everyone here reads between the lines. Please don't e-mail me for details at this time, but in some future thread, (which I will not be posting anymore) I may pop my head in and let members decide if a certain group of people didn't do the right thing.
PLease take a look at my cards, it's a wonderful collection that took me many years to assemble and was assemble for eye appeal, not what some $7.50 grader on crack thought.
It's been a great ride. I've enjoyed many people here and had many laughs, expecially the Seinfeld threads, the "WE" threads and Jays bluntly honest opinions. Have had many deal go very right and I thank you all. Joe
Edited to add: All the NON portriat cards will be sold first. Good luck.
Edited for spelling mistakes, fat fingers and just plan poor posting...sorry.
