1952 Topps PSA 4 #332 Baritrome

[pokerplyr80]

I don't think it's appropriate to call him a weird guy in a public forum. If I remember he had personal reasons for wanting these cards, like he was related to the player and wanted them for his whole family. Or something along those lines. From the sale price my guess is he was involved in the bidding. Perhaps that card is now hard to find for set builders because of the same guy buying them up so someone else bid it up as well.

He gave a false name, was discovered to have done internet scams, went to prison for the scams, and then sent threatening emails to members.

I forgot the best part where he threatened to activate his multiple stealth accounts.

If you look at bidding history, there's an h***h that's won both of the recent Bartirome auctions and he hasn't joined on this party yet.

He won the last two auctions with a late bid:

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...p2047675.l2565

and

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...p2047675.l2565

You can see the current two bidders on this auction r***5 and y***r were involved somewhat in the bidding on the others.

I think this particular 4 will go higher once h***h joins in.

that h***h guy buys a lot of 1952s....

H**H also bought the raw one for 799

edited: oddly enough of the thousands of 52 topps I've sold, he has never bid or bought anything!

Are you suggesting that's weird?

It got way, way more weird. Personally, I think the guy should be incarcerated before he hurts someone. I think he is a danger to himself and society *(seriously). If anyone saw the emails I got from him I think they would agree. I even contacted authorities about him.

+1 Do we have we have any behavioral or forensic psychologist on the board. His posts were so meticulous and carefully constructed to deceive that I would love to see someone do a profile on him.

Plus, wasn't he all about buying the same card over & over again to inflate the price?

It is ok to disagree on the board.

Apparently I stopped following that thread too soon. Sounds like it got interesting and weird. From the other comments it sounds like your assessment of the guy was correct.

Cliff-- everyone makes mistakes, give him some slack

Now, if he was collecting variations I would be right there with you

set builders with the real money aren't worried about psa 4s...they going for psa 7 + like the top 40 or so registry sets....can find raw cards that grade out as 4s....its not registry people that are interested in that psa 4 I can tell you that.
