This is what hobbyists should be discussing , not their stupid collections...that they LOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Chuck, I understand and share your frustration but if you hate cards and the hobby why keep on posting on a card hobby forum? Why not take a siesta unless you think these posts will affect some meaningful change to make it a hobby you like again?

Yes, I do think they will lead to meaningful changes if enough people would STOP doing what isn't working...That is my hope. Much like "I hope" the Dodgers are going to win another WS in my lifetime. Probably aint gonna happen.

Tough to win a WS when you can count on Clayton to get shelled at least twice.

Mobs create bandwagon bias.

Good guys are not infallible.

Regardless of your view, no one or entity achieves 100% accuracy and success.

If you don’t understand this post, carry on.

Hey Chuck
Thanks for reinforcing my point. I am truly sorry you are so angry. I hope that can change. It is a great hobby but as in anything it is not all positive.

Happy collecting to all

don't start or I really will be angry. . You didn't have to watch the guy give up 3 bombs yesterday next to my wife, the Yankee Fan.

Just what I expected, no runs and a pounding.

My bigger concern would be if Ryu's magical run is over or if he just had one exceptionally bad outing. He may have set a record this deep into the season for biggest one game ERA increase.

LOTG just concluded a great auction... And to Eric's point, let's look at the positives (which still outweigh the negatives by about a 10 to 1 ratio...)

Leon, that was a tremendous pickup on the Forbes Field Tri-fold PC. Just a stunning piece with great clarity... I might've driven the price up on you, had I not just won something in REA, and was chasing something else in LOTG.

Great pickup at a nice price!

Oh! It hurts the most because it's true.

I just saw this thread in the last hour or so for the first time.

Having read through it, my main thought is :

Too bad the OP didn't notice these issues more than a couple hours before the close of the auction.


If he had, maybe before there were too many bids on the items (I haven't checked how many bids either item received), MAYBE the auction house would have pulled the items, and maybe that would have been best.

But, as others mentioned, if I were a bidder (I was not for either item), I would have preferred the method that the AH took of contacting each bidder and giving them the opportunity to withdraw their bid(s).

At this point, it seems to me that there are no victims in what happened, only willing participants, so it seems like moving on is the best course of action.

As to comparisons to other situations, don't get me started, we all know I have a potty mouth.

I’ve been a part of multiple auctions where problems have arisen on the last day (or last minute) where we have either gone forward or ended the lot. That is due to numerous factors pertaining to both the consignor and bidders. Such problems are not fun particularly when your best efforts will get slammed on a public message board - not by the bidders themselves, but some observer who has an agenda of their own.
