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

[Rich Klein]

Because of Ken's past involvement with the Shop at Home venue for selling cards some people may not look at him with the same light and try to find things wrong with anything he does.

I am not a lawyer but there is little doubt in my mind that Ken has known Kobe since his Scoreboard days and has a relatoinship with all involved and believed all was good. Obviously, all was not good --- but I don't know how that is Ken's fault

And Chris, yes some people are always going to make comments about Ken on this board and if you want my honest opinion (just as I had to learn at Beckett) we may all need a slighter thicker skin. Don't take the bait and just let some comments slide. Flame wars while enteratining, are not what this board needs

Hey Rich,

Thank you for your comments and your perspective. Please note I have no intention to create any "flame wars." However, there is no way I will sit back and let someone post unjustified, disparaging remarks about someone's character (in this situation Ken did nothing to attract controversy) and simply "let it go." There should be some accountability for the things people say here, especially when it involves someone's livelihood, and allowing someone to make unfounded, defamatory comments about something like this is not what this board needs either.

I feel the same way about "flame wars". I just read the memorabilia or card threads and not the gang-up threads, but this is something I actually have contemporary first-hand knowledge of and thought I too would try to throw water on the flame before another internet tough guy ruined yet another thread.
