I also emailed for a refund. Have not heard anything yet. Let me know if anyone else does.

What was beyond frustrating was I went to their table at the National to check in on the status of this and say hello and there was a very pleasant woman sitting at an empty table (right as you entered the room) who basically told me she had no information on the break and was just sitting there for someone. Yeah, good way to sell the remaining 200 plus spots in your break. Have someone there who has no information on anything.

To anyone that has requested a refund prior to Noon today (Sept 7, 2016), you should have received an email reply from Leighton. If you have not, please resend your request to Leighton@justcollect.com.

I will work diligently to provide a line of communication, including updates and pertinent information from VintageBreaks.com, David and Leighton and provide a regular update (more often if circumstances require).

To reiterate, anyone that prefers not to wait for the break to sell out and wishes a prompt refund, please email Leighton@justcollect.com with your request.

Have asked for a refund now three times, including a direct email to Leighton, and no response.

Seems these guys are hellbent on destroying their reputation on the most influential baseball collecting forum there is. Interesting approach.

It certainly doesn't seem to be a priority. As a non-participant I am stunned, really, at how badly this has been handled. And it seems with the refund requests the completion is getting farther away, not closer.

I am not surprised.

Not losing sleep over it. Have a lot of friends down where they are.

If that was their goal it certainly seems they have succeeded. I can't imagine doing business with them ever again. I did not buy into this break when I saw what was being offered. 407 x $350 is over $140k. If they spent close to half of that on the set I would be surprised. And a 30k estimate for an off center PSA 3 Mantle seems pretty ridiculous. I would expect that card to sell for less than 20k, and am confident I could pick up an off center 4 for less.

I hope those who bought in get their money back one way or another.

FWIW, That card, the exact same one, was sold by PWCC on 7/7/16 for $23,600.

I just want to let everyone know that I e-mailed Leighton regarding a refund and he told me it would be refunded by the end of the next business day and he was good to his word, I received a full refund last night.

Guess I missed that one. Even so this break was announced shortly after that sale. If the price of the break was adjusted down by the same 25% margin that the value of the Mantle was overstated this may have went down differently, and probably would have still left them a nice profit.
