T206 Honus Wagner - Not For Sale

[SetBuilder]

Is the OP even affiliated with the GottaHaveRockandRoll website or is he just a rogue employee?

My impression is that he is a new employee trying to score points with the boss by moving some big dollar merchandise - that he doesn’t have permission to sell. Safe to say that plan backfired.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

its still on their facebook page. but I just find it odd they have one old half ass scan of the card and not their own hi-def one like any good auction company would have. not to mention, any reasonable owner of this card would have it properly advertised. theres no mention of it on their website, nor anything I can find currently at auction. Everything that have on their site looks like auctions closed 12/1/18. maybe someone should just simply call them and ask if they can verify the story here. these are their listed phone numbers.....

It is too long of a story for me to go into. I don't know exactly what was said but to me it sounds like the owner said, sort of sarcastically (maybe) sure I will sell for a xx (fairly high price), then Dylan took that flippant remark and started to go to town selling it. That is my take. I don't think it was ever exactly for sale. But I do think the owner might have it in someone else's possession, which I find sort of weird. Either way, I don't believe it was an outright scam but I don't believe it was supposed to be for sale either. Who knows..

ps...post 164 nailed it, I think

Guess the skeptics weren't so wrong after all, eh?

[Yastrzemski Sports]

So, is Black Betsy still for sale? PM me.

Sort of. There is a card, and possibly in the possession of someone this person works for, but it was never for sale. Not really an outright troll in my book. A huge mistake with no victims except us reading this. Like sands in the hourglass so are the Days of our Lives.

Maybe he's paid on commission and this was a poorly executed plan to make a pay check. If this employee isn't already looking for a new job I hope he has been banned from listing anything for sale online.

It was an honest mistake. But the card is a great piece and we have other great pieces that we do own. I will be much more clear and professional the next time I make posts. If you guys don't want to see what else we have, could get, or just network in general, then I will not post in this forum anymore. But I will make sure to get everything straight and professional for the next time I do post.

I absolutely guarantee people on this board want to see what is for sale but take a lot of pointers from this thread and have some conversations before posting next time. It will save you a lot of time and heartache and sarcasm.

Yes sir. Take a positive out of everything. You live and you learn and whats done is done. I apologize and you will see some great things in the future.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

I hope you can learn, but since you made the same exact mistakes here as you did on BO I'm not optimistic. Prove me wrong!

Hi, I sent a PM on a few of the great things, but never heard back

Everyone makes mistakes. If I were you I'd apologize to my boss and ask permission before making any more public statements as a representative of the company.

Maybe just stick with what you actually have for the time being.
