Sorry to be a distraction
Tom - your gesture is very nice and I truly appreciate your thought.
I was simply trying to get the ball rolling for the seller's auction because I enjoyed his creative writeup. In the process I was "making conversation" and sort of thinking out loud because my son has taken great interest in baseball history and has started his own little HOF collection. I never expected to win the auction with a $5 bid, I was simply acknowledging that the condition of this card is perfect for the early stages of my son's collection. I guess it breaks some sort of auction code. I won't do that anymore.

I didn't mean to break any codes either. I remember going to shows as a kid in the 1970s and dealers and collectors, grown men who would step on a kid just to get some stupid card. It made me sick. In the late 1980s, there was a dealer at a show called "Stump The Man". You show him the front of any card and just the cap and he could tell you the players name. I just happened to have a box of cards with me and I came across a kid who was dreaming of the prize the man was offering. I decided to help the kid and we carefully selected a card. Well a crowd formed as the man struggled to identify the player. We gave him all of the time he needed but finally conceded. He was pissed, but the kid got his card and I was beyond happy. By the way, the card that stumped the man.. A 1973 Topps Billy Gogolewski.
I am very pleased your son has found baseball and appreciates it's rich history. It was just like me, I can relate! Last edited by 1963Topps Set; 07-12-2015 at 08:45 PM.

One day remains on the auction with more controversy than the # of bids.
Thanks for looking!

Tom Reed you are an IDIOT quit posting in people sales threads. This is not the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time you have done this, sadly you do it on a regular basis. If you are not asking a question about buying the item, saying I will take it, or entering a bid amount do everybody a favor and quit posting in the B/S/t section.

I was just responding to a previous post. Insulting me is also a forum violation. I am done here. I will not be posting in this forum at all anymore.
