Buying all #332 Tony Bartirome 1952 Topps cards + his Gold Canary + Griffey + Tiger

[PolarBear]

I'm confused now. Was he ripping people off buying these cards or was all this card buying legit and he was banned only because of the name issue?

The name issue is actually technical. But the blog about him is very recent. Do we really want scammers on the board? I am not sure I have ever seen more crap on one person. I am all about 2nd chances but if anyone clicks on those 2 links I posted, and reads them....and thinks him registering with a fake name is good.....please help me understand that line of reasoning? Like I said abve, had he registered with a good name, maybe. Plus the half dozen or so extremely threatening emails I just got from him kind of solidify it .

Nothing surprises me on this board anymore. Amazing.

That was my same thought. The guy was celebrating being a hoarder, like that knucklehead who tries to hoard T212 Millers (link: this jerk). If you announce on a hobby forum that your singular goal is to thwart other collectors, find another forum.

Everything this guy wrote screamed "scammer". Then, not surprisingly, he turned out to be a scammer.

If you are referring to the, "Dots Miller" collector here on Net54, I seriously doubt the good doctor is doing anything nefarious.

If I am mistaken, please forgive an aging man who is getting closer to retirement...and his failing memory.

Best regards,

What a strange trip it's been.

No, I can vouch for that doctor, too. He just likes giant mitts . I mean the guy who wants to buy every T212 (Obak) Miller (link). For all I know, he's still making set collectors pay for that card because he runs them up. He's a jerk and I'm positive that is a fact, not just my opinion.

Okay, I'll bite - why is it a fact that I am a jerk? I am quite certain we have never met, and I do not even recall ever having a conversation with you. Is it the fact that the cards of my great-grandfather are worth more to me than they are to some other people? I have been outbid on cards and not once did I think that the winning buyer was a jerk. I have never understood how some people feel they are entitled to a card to fill a hole in their set, at the price they want to pay, just because they want it. Feel free to disagree with what/how I collect, but I fail to see the need for name calling; that says more about you than it does me. I have done several transaction with board members here and I doubt anyone who has actually dealt with me would consider me a jerk.

I wasn't criticizing the decision to ban him. I was just confused as to why. I thought maybe he was ripping people off somehow with the card hoarding scheme.
