Ebay ID: tgos4995 buying up everything Vintage Baseballs, etc.

[Shoeless Moe]

Anybody lay claim to this Ebay user ID: "tgos4995", he is buying everything, and paying full price on Buy It Now or Best Offers, who does that? At least offer a little less. This guy must have the deepest pockets, some of his purchases:

very interesting.

and you are 100% correct .... i have been a buying machine for the last couple months but i always at least try to get a few bucks knocked off.

says he's from Springfield, MO, sells as well, but his purchases are insane, cornering the market on vintage balls and other items it appears......

... if I said that in six months to a year, we should be on the lookout for newly-discovered autographed baseballs from some of the game's earliest stars, that happen to be on period-correct, authentic baseballs?

He has bought some of those things from me and he just collects vintage Baseballs, they are VERY hot right now and it really is not that surprising. A few years ago a guy was buying ALL Zeenut Baseball Cards etc. etc.

FYI, He did get a bargain on the 1795 ball he bought from me, he waited until it was on sale at less than 1300 to pull the trigger but ebay does not show sales prices after the fact so some of these items were cheaper than they appear when looking back.

He is on the level, just a collector with some deep pockets chasing after what is really hot right now.

No different than what I will be doing when I win the lottery.

I think they are hot because he is buying them all...and by all, I mean ALL. I seriously think he's won 20 of say the top 22 sold balls in the past month, could go back farther but I'm too lazy to keep checking.

Oddly a couple are up right now BIN and he isn't striking. So wonder why on those. Of course a couple auction style end on Sunday so we'll see if he sweeps them as well.
