Mile High Card Company- May 2011 Auction- currently open

[sycks22]

Love it that you think I consigned that item. I didn't. I just signed up with them 3 days ago and hopefully will toss in some bids. I enjoyed the "pimp my card" comment. I just rarely see the Williams in an auction format. I'm pretty new to the auction field and maybe the Williams is everywhere, but I haven't seen it too often.

Hey Pete
You haven't been on the board that long but there have been numerous threads and posts (from others) similar to this. They try to get more publicity for their card. I guess one thing that many will be asking themselves about this is why you would tell thousands of avid collectors what you hope slides by, hoping to get it cheaper (I suppose)? Your actions have done exactly the opposite of what you hope to do? So it doesn't really make sense. Nothing personal and obviously harmless but I am sure you understand folks thoughts? We are a bit jaded to this kind of behavior as you can tell >.

I understand once I posted what it meant, not the smartest thing ever. I was just excited about the Williams. I can see how people would've done that in the past. It seems like 3 days after I pay for an auction 4 more pop up with auctions ending in the next 2 weeks. It's tough to keep up on everything.

LOL, we can all relate to that Pete. I thought I would explain so you would at least know where we were coming from. Hang in there. The cards are most of the fun but the friendships made (if you want to make them) are priceless. There are a ton of great folks on this board and in the hobby. There are a few bad apples but by and large most folks in the hobby want to help and are really good hearted people. best regards

To the board's credit, a lot of people have stepped up and tried to fill the void.

Just wanted to update folks that bidding continues in the Mile High auction that ends Thursday, May 19.

I've got the e-mail to prove it.

Rob,
It is obvious to me they know where the money is.
