If you pursuaded YorktownSC to end this auction early and buy them off-line, I want to buy them from you. Please e-mail me!

not knowing exactly what they were sold for offline i would guess that the seller left a lot of money on the table. i was willing to pretty much willing to go as high as it took to win the cards. this is one sellers auctions i can ignore now.

This is my biggest eBay pet peeve. My buying partner and I talked about this lot (one for him, one for me) and placed a nice esnipe. This is after all placed in an auction format an cancelled early because I guess an offer that was too good to pass up instead of committing to the auction. I won't be buying from Yorktown anymore.

How much do you all think those cards are worth individually?

The cards were not sold off line. They were a consignment and the consignor threw a fit because I listed them with no reserve because I felt it was not needed. Long story short, I am returning them and a few other items to the owner and I am sure they will be for sale again somewhere else soon. You might want to ask questions before jumping to conclusions. It is not always about the $$$... or I guess with you guys it mostly is....

Sorry to tell you but with todays market when a collector is watching an ebay auction it is not uncommon for it to end early and be sold offline. How was everyone supposed to know this was different ?

I bid on the lot too. It is disappointing when you are looking forward to a rare peice, but as some of you whiners and moaners tend to do alot you jump to conclusions. I was frustrated too, but we didn't know exactly the true reason the cards were pulled....... point being is that as owner of the items he has every right to do with them what he pleases. If you don't like it then just don't bid. Sometimes I think adults cry and whine more than babies. Some of you need to go back on the tit. I personally don't bid on seller's auctions that tend to do this alot, but it looks like he had a lgoical explanation.

I am by no means an expert on autographs (which is why I stay way from them) but, those two autographs do not seem to be similar in the style of the autograph. Does anyone have a check signed by Rube? Another question, his real name was Richard William Marqurd, did he not sign using his real name?

Bill, I do not know if you are knowledgable in autographs but they were in your hands what do you think?

Just another pessimist on the board, but this stuff drives me nuts as to how anyone can authenticate autographs.

Here is a copy of mine. Apparently he lived to a ripe old age and signed a handful of T206s for collectors in the late 70's. There was another thread on this about 6 months ago.

I have no interest in selling this, but I am curious as to what people think the value might be. Thanks.

Both Marquards were in fact authentic and I was really looking forward to adding one to my collection...call it a present for myself during the holiday. Zach is right. How were we supposed to know anything but the explanation which was:

The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.

Geez....

...I sent two e-mails to the seller to inquire about the status of the cards. When those e-mails were not returned, I made this post. I purchased four T206 autographed Marquards about three years ago. I was selfishly hoping to corner the market.

I will say that my Marquards were signed along the edge, unlike these.

I'm glad Bill presented what happened as I have always found him to be a great person to buy cards from and have had many transactions with him and never been disappointed.

Enough! Stop the whining. The seller has every right to do what he or she wants. They do not owe anyone anything until the auction ends, especially the people that are just "watching."

Seriously, you look like fools complaining about the seller without knowing the truth. How are you to know you ask? Well if it is no longer for sale then that is about all you need to know.

Some people on this board are enough to make a person want to quit collecting.

Bry,

I have been burned several times by sellers who quit on an auction to sell outside the auction format. A lot of sellers who are "questioned about something" often come into the VBC and politely explain themselves. Bill went into the defensive.

This is after all a Forum to share information and I'm pretty sure that this thread didn't need your little fit.

DJ,

We all have been burned by sellers ending their auction early. It has become a part of the hobby, like it or not. Get over it.

I highly suggest you go reread the thread. You were the one who said you won't buy from Yorktown anymore. And in no way can anything Bill said be considered "going on the defensive." He was simply stating the truth and correcting yours and others assumption.

Edited to say:

Go ahead and make whatever comment you need to in order to make yourself feel justified. I will not be responding. I have no desire to engage in a pissing contest, the one thing I absolutely can not stand about this board.

I am here to talk about cards but all of the recent bickering needs to be addressed. Don't think I am the only one that feels this way. You may be ok with it but others are absolutely annoyed by it.

Bryan,

I'm not here to fight either and I will say my peace and move on. Bickering does know one any good.

I just felt that your post wasn't necessary and kind of aimed toward me in a kind of an attack of sorts. After all, didn't you call me a "fool"? Isn't that name calling in some way?

It's happened a couple times to me and I chose not to deal with the seller. I didn't like the seller's defensive manner in dealing with the matter and you know what Bryan, I don't have to deal with him (or anyone) if I don't want to. I felt there was no need to put your two cents in this thread with your post.

Hey, I'm the first to admit that many of us our petty on this board in comparison to the problems in the world. But this board collects people opinions and "complaints" and there is no way someone should tell me that my complaint is petty and doesn't matter, especially since it didn't involve you personally. If you don't have anything positive and valuable to add to a post or don't like what's going, skip it, ignore it, move on.

That's all.

I really can’t blame Bill for getting ticked, and I really don’t think his comment was that nasty. Some of you made accusations that he did the old “off ebay shuffle” which does happen quite a bit. You did assume and you know the old saying…. you know what happens when we assume.

I too was watching another card that was ended because of this consignor, I emailed Bill and asked why it was ended. In Bill’s defense he responded quickly and explained the issue. I too have nothing but good things to say about Bill and his company; I have had several good transactions with him as well. I think keeping him on your list of people to do business with would be a wise choice, he’s good seller IMO.

Now if he could have just sold that damn Plank to me for $100 so my wife didn’t get to yell at me for 20mins when she say my bid price on the card (which I lost by the way). So Bill if your reading this you owe me some free cards to offset the retaliation shopping spree that my wife went on due to my involvement in that auction!

Im with Lee on this one, they both look different to me. Also Jims and the one sold on MastroNet looks different than the ones offered by yorktown. Jims and Mastronets look the same.
