BEGINNING OF QUOTE:

All!!!!

People used to say silence is golden and most of my team members agree to that but I feel that I have to step up and speak for my team.

Actually, it is interesting to see sellers and people on this board have two
faces. I don't want to mention names here, but members in this forum ask us questions multiple times and we helped them out and they were all happy afterwards. But when they requested some tasks that we refused to do then they would get mad and become nasty and frighten us to ruin our reputations and hack into our site. (That's the main reason why our message board is no longer available) The following are just some of the examples what we refused to do, you can be the judge. (e.g. display their not-so unusual cards on our site, display articles of their "huge" $500 private purchase, modify our checklist to include t206 variations that they have, replace scans that we already
have with their scans...etc)

In addition, we have never asked collectors straight up to sell us their
cards when they email us. We asked when they are looking for buyers, have intention to sell or ask us how much we are willing to pay for their cards (Yes, we always reply "How much are you looking for?" Isn't that the same response you would get when you try to sell your cards at the show?? May be that's where the confusion and misunderstanding come from). We have a list of collectors (not our team members) who are actively seeking for unusual t206s and we figure we might able to help both sides if some people are willing to buy and some are willing to sell. All we have been trying is to help collectors? But seems like people here have bias on t206museum.com and don't consider us among you guys. In fact, a few people in my team are frequent visitors and active posters here but they prefer to remain silent and avoid all unnecessary offensive attacks.

Regarding to the main concern, we have decided to remain anonymous because we are also collectors and we don't want people to track what we are buying on eBay and major auctions. We know some people constantly checking what others' bidding on then they
won't miss any good deals and at the same time they don't need to waste time checking every vintage auction listings. Everyone hopes to buy stuffs at the lowest price, if we have done our homeworks why would I let you get them for free and give you a chance to snipe us???

Another reason we prefer to remain anonymous is because we don't want to receive questions in our personal email account since we have a central repository storing all the emails and we take turn answering emails everyday. We receive ~10 to 15 questions everyday, it is a lot of work for us who don't get pay for doing these. We update and have articles on our site based on what collectors' concerns and interested in therefore a central repository is needed for providing suitable information
to my visitors.

That's it for now. If you have further comments, please email us at
