Goldin Auctions Summer Spectacular Auction...featuring Kobe Bryant Memorabilia

[wonkaticket]

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).

Got that much Leon, same webpage for the card above just wasn't going to assume it was the same guy but same webpage for sure.

The T206 Cobb with the Cobb back is locked up in the vault at Goldin Auctions, where it has been since approximately March 10th.

I hear its pretty rampant these days people trying to sell famous cards they do not own.

Ken, noted however this certain site/seller has quite a few major cards up for sale, of which the owners have commented on the board that it was on the up and up.

This is why I was confused it didn't seem as simple as a fraudster with a fake eBay or website. More like two folks both looking to sell the same card.

I think it was established on the CU forum that this guy was not entirely "on the up and up." I could have misread the thread you provided, but it seems as though the owner of the Wagner was vouching for the eBay listing, not the website you previously posted about (the man who runs the website is not the same man who is selling the Wagner on eBay). You can add whatever cards you would like into your cart on that website, but I am fairly certain many of them are not in his possession.

I recently met with and purchased a card from the broker in question. Despite the website, I can offer firsthand that he was communicative, reliable, prompt, informative, and delivered a quality card at the best price I've seen it offered since 2011. His knowledge of cards and the market was thorough, and he was very affable as well. Just felt it right to throw that account into the discussion.

Thanks for the info John. It is now gone, poof, from the site. Rather then get into it, lets just state that my original comment was correct, it has been in my vault for this auction since early March, and no one else is or was authorized to offer it for sale. I am glad it was caught before the auction opened Monday
