7 complete 19th century sets, a fine selection of pre war cards, and ............ a T206 Ty Cobb with a Ty Cobb back...and the matching TIN to go along with it.

all of that was delayed from being announced until the Kobe situation was resolved.
A preview of some of the items are currently up at goldinauctions.com

so although the KOBE portion may not apply to this particular segment, the entire auction certainly does

While Goldin said he wasn't free to divulge the terms of the settlement, what is clear is that approximately 90 percent of what previously was being offered has been pulled off the table, though the remaining ones are some of the most highly coveted items.

It says KEY Bryant items.....maybe more is in there that's not as KEY as those (6) items.....

Hmmm, strange how controversy seems to find certain folks time and again.

I�m confused how are two people selling the same card?

Goldin has this same card as the premier lot #3 for the June 17th auction.

Yet the below site also has the same card for sale right now.

I can even add the card to my cart and check out, with free shipping I may add.

If I was to say buy the card from the above site then wouldn�t lot #3 in Goldin�s auction disappear?

This is also the same site and or guy who was in and banned in a single post correct?

So what gives are two people selling the same card at the same time?

Seems odd 7 days before an auction starts I can pull a BIN with another company on a major advertised lot.

Cheers,

John

John- I think the guy that was banned was a broker, for the most part, as I posted in post #3 of that thread (the edit).

Chris "Bubba" Lamb,

Given you have posted on Network 54 elsewhere since I asked what you meant by your comment that "Hmmm, strange how controversy seems to find certain folks time and again," I will assume you have no intention of responding to my question and that your comment was directed at Ken Goldin....unless you were referring to Kobe Bryant which I doubt. In addition, given I created Game Used Universe and have monitored the forums there for almost 8 years, I have run across a number of people who sit behind a keyboard and make bold, unsubstantiated claims that have the potential to affect people's livelihoods. In fact, we created rules for posting on GUU to address that exact issue.

Since you have chosen to "boldly" make such a claim here from the obscurity of your keyboard, I will say that I have worked for Ken for a number of months now and I can tell you he has not done anything that can even remotely be considered questionable. It is just the opposite. In fact, we turned down a number of items for our current auction that I am confident a number of other auction houses would have run based on their prior history. In addition, in every instance that Ken has given me his word he has always come through. I also have never seen anyone work as hard as Ken and few people have his ability to promote an auction the way he does. Yes, he drives all of us to try to achieve perfection but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Lastly, I think the record of what I created with Game Used Universe to help eliminate the fraud and suspect activity in the game used memorabilia space speaks to the standards I adhere to as a person. While many claim to be "ethical" I always say you can judge the tree by the fruit it bears. Along those same lines, I say with great confidence that I think what Ken is doing with Goldin Auctions is not only good for the auction business, it is good for the hobby in general.

Happy to hear any additional comments you may have.
