I wish to have transparency as always in my life. Yes I did bid on a few of the cards for these specific reasons.
1) my decision was quick and regretted the Leo Durocher
2) none of the cards that directly affect the registry were bid on as the top pops will be bid in an open manner. Most of the top pops have zero or 1 or 2 bids presently.
3) a father and son team with an eBay rating of 1 were upset i was selling and can only bid on 10 items. They called and asked for bids on HOF cards and Red Sox which I did. ( they do not affect any other bids.) None of you need $20 commons in a PSA 1
4) putting a bid of 20% to 30% of value a few cards to stimulate bidding in general i do not see as detrimental to bidding outcome.
5) if Ted will tell me what cards he likes I will make every effort to see they sell as high as possible to repay all he has done to me and the group inflating and years of shillings and market manipulation. So please ask him to specifically state what cards he wants as I thought he liked overinflated prices to protect his assets.
6) I see the auction as very beneficial to the signed set community as it is bringing attention this esoteric market.
7) the three top set holders have a 209 Howie Fox and this attention only brings value to
theirs.
8) I will sincerely miss the camaraderie of Hank, Tom. In a perverse way Ted will be missed also as I believe the set is truly important to him. He just needs a better understanding of rules of engagement and civility.
9) Had another man ask tonight if I would bid a few cards for him tonight and I would have; however he was disappointed as I just don't think it is worth it.

this is an email i sent to another collector of signed 1952 topps set on Friday January 22nd. Of course i regret my decision and can not undo it. In reality had second thoughts on my decision selling off my set so quickly. Yes this is aslo not the publicity or reputation one wishes to not to have garnered; however I did do these things. tom killeen

Good of him to send you that message Leon

The bidding pattern for Howie Fox is still not good...

In that message from Thomas above, it says it was to Hank. I was just thanking Thomas for responding. Nothing more or less.

It was an email i had sent two days ago to another board member expressing my regrets, actions, and general feelings.

I just have to laugh. Usually I wouldnt engage, but this is classic. Did you try all morning to come with this, and that's the best you could do? You acted the fool and got caught. You are bidding on 100 of you OWN auctions.


There was a total of ONE signed 52 topps card I didnt pay for,and i bought it for half the next week. However, I will string bid your tired ebay IDs up to just before your silly .88 on the end. Well you did .22 a few times and I had to buy the card. It was worth it.

Btw a little birdies told me about your Mantle deal. You are not "serving the community" buy dumping them all at once, you are trying to avoid sales tax in the psa 6oc mantle you paid 50k for from probstein by, using consignments. The single WORST way to dump a set.

You ALWAYS could have cancelled you bid. In this hobby, you are now six feet under a snakes belly.

[Rhotchkiss]

Not a good look to bid on your own auctions, period.

Just as a note, I dont need any of the cards you are shilling, ahem, selling.

Did you email Hank about the nippy jones you outbid him on. A friggin psa 3MC Nippy jones?? really trying to MAX out those prices eh? Hw long did it take you see go through the sets and see who needed upgrades? You are so transparent.


I honestly wouldnt pee on your cards if they were on fire. Although I would hope the fire wouldn't spread, there are better uses for my urine.

You left a virtual footprint a mile long. For someone who claims they play chess, this wasnt exactly the Queen's gambit, it was child's play, a ROOKie move.

Check Mate, and really sad to see you go

I alerted Hank you were doing this, and he didnt respond... on 1/22

HA, just spoke to Hank! He told me how he saw my email WHILE HE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH YOU, and AFTER he told you, you sent your apology!


You CANT make this shit up!
