not kosher.

Removed it and all from his original post lol.

Why go through all this instead of just saying it's yours and skip looking like an idiot.

Really the only reason I care is because it's in the wrong section and is taking advantage of getting way more eyes for free. This should be a paid ad to Leon based on the link to the auction house knowing what we know in my opinion.

I cannot abide people who lie.

He is far from the first person to come here and do this. There are some regulars who post here who do it in a more subtle fashion far too often and it irks me. Not defending the OP's effort but the shame of it is well earned. Guessing he will not post again for a bit...unless he has another lot to promote.

The frothy blather in the AH write-up is laughable BUT it is a desirable premium, so I don't really mind the post. With so many damn auctions I forgot all about this one. This is America; we are all selling all the time, so a little pimping action on a rare item isn't the same as Don West-ing 1999 Fleer sets.

Full disclosure: not my card but I have one and I am not bidding on the ML one.

It appears he lied to juice a card on the wrong board. Even Don West was better than this; he did not pretend the crap he was pumping was not being sold by him. I would hope the hobby would eventually come to expect just a bare modicum of honesty or not blatantly lying, but that's not going to happen of course.

The paper trails will fuck you up badly in life.

Yeah but why not approach it honestly? People promote their auction house consignments all the time with contest posts etc.

I have held contests on here for what I have consigned to Brockelman Auctions for several years now. For me it is a fun way to get people aware of the auction, they have a chance to win vintage cards, and I get to enjoy being a Prewar Santa Claus.

So that I don't feel too slimy, I never actually reveal the exact cards that I have consigned. Each contest is designed for folks to guess what I consign out of many options.

So in my mind I feel like I am promoting the hobby, and a great auction company, with the side effect of having more eyes potentially seeing the lots I did consign.

I am a sneaky bastard, so I will award myself with this seal of approval:

I would loan him this engraved label, but evidently his last name is not Parker.

Brian (perhaps the next thread I start will be about an awesome item in an upcoming auction...gotta live up to the label)
