I held on to the information because I wanted to give you two the benefit of the doubt but you brought this to the board.
The personal attack seems to be on SGC-looks like you wanted SGC to pay out brown Old Mill money to cover a auction debt.
I think your ego and the mighty dollar has but a major dent in your integrity.
I think you should have taken what SGC was offering and let this one go.
There is still some other facts left out but not needed as the damage is done.
note to self-keep Wonka on you side, you will be very unhappy if he is not. |
Jim,
First, I do consider Wonka to be a friend. And if my dad outbid him on a Plank it was almost certainly because I didn't know he was bidding on that same card. And my sincere apologies if I heard that information and somehow forgot.
If I had a "do-over", I'd ask for a few others opinions to see if they thought what my dad I and saw was worthy of some sort of variation and would probably have submitted the card to SGC for their opinion pre-auction. To be perfectly fair, the whole situation could have been handled in a more pristine fashion on our end.
I am just really upset with how SGC handled the whole incident. To some they have a "sterling reputation". But I thought that the combination of how SGC forces a resolution that they deem acceptable on the timeframe that they deem acceptable and then insults those that won't comply with their demands was very poorly handled.
I'm willing to acknowledge that my dad (with my advice) could have handled the situation with greater care. As for SGC their response to this whole thread ......
