Read to me as though he did contact them and it took a week to fix it. Also sounds like they agreed upon some content and structure upon consigning it and it was ignored when listing it. |

Auction houses pull items quite often after the auction starts. You also have the option of putting a reserve on the item. They don't like it but with the potential value of your set they would have.
It is true that it would have probably gotten a lot more money if broken up with Aaron, Banks, Fox, Robinson, and Williams at least in stand alone auctions. Overall, Golden is getting record prices. All auction houses screw up at times. I have several similar stories with some of the big guys as well. It is a gamble in any auction with a high dollar item if no reserve is in place. What did you expect to get for the set? Did they waive the seller consignment fee? Last edited by rand1com; 04-19-2021 at 11:51 AM. Reason: Add content |

Can someone please explain the Howard Fox card, please. Is there a variation? Prices on VCP do not reflect any spike in price.

Equate it to the Perez Steele Kirby Puckett and Richie Ashburn. Deaths shortly after their release limited the time to get some signed. Last edited by bobbyw8469; 04-19-2021 at 12:05 PM. |

It doesn't have anything to do with a variation. He was released by the Orioles at the end of the season and spent all of 1955 in the minors before being murdered that October. He had a very short window of opportunity to sign the card, and there probably weren't a lot of people who made the effort to track down a journeyman relief pitcher while they had the chance.

What I recall of Fox, is he got fatally knifed in a bar fight in '55. So, yeah, super tough common sig to land on his '54T.

Sorry, I missed the fact it was a signed set. Interesting tragic story on Mr. Fox.

Communication is 100% the biggest issue with the entire operation at Goldin...now that it seems the server issues have been taken care of.
Email with question about item before auction ends? Nothing. Takes 3 weeks and multiple emails to multiple people to get bidding limit raised. Buy something, never get email invoice. Pay for that invoice, never get email confirmation. Ask for update on shipping? Item arrives before someone responds that it should ship by he end of the week. There isn’t a single auction house that has SUCH bad customer service and people still flock to Goldin. The majority of cards/items would do better at other AH’s.

Everyone,
Ken came through and really did go above and beyond what I would expect anyone to do. We had a very professional phone conversation and I feel he more than made up for my issues. I would like to thank him for the quick resolution to the matter. Dan |
