We bought a raw lot from Goldin and relied on their description.

Doug, I looked into Alden’s ice cream near me.
Bingo only a half mile away, but it all seems to be “organic”, which is a euphemism for overpriced methinks.
I’m passing on the Alden’s, but will heretofore list all my cards for sale as organic.



Thanks Doug

To me a good example of buyers remorse.. Been there but have never done that..

Trust me. I have the diet of a 12 year old who doesn't have parents to tell me to eat my vegatables, and Aldens orange cream bars, or fudge bars, or root beer bars, etc, are the only thing in a Whole Foods that I have any interest in eating.

There is supposed to be No Crying In Baseball.....it’s funny that’s all I see in Card Collectors/Re-Sellers. Lol

Having good pictures does not exonerate someone for a bad description.
Money is being exchanged, everything must be accurate. Some of the people here need a higher bar.
This was an honest mistake and was correctly handled by the seller. If the seller (or another seller) handled it any other way I would not do any of my very significant business there.

As a confirmed ice creamaniac, I must give you the benefit of my doubt. I shall venture into the world of Alden and report directly to you, or near the water cooler.

Really nice E cards, this discussion is why things can get complicated in our hobby. Always do you homework with buying or selling and try and be as professional as possible. Yes - it's just cardboard, but our time ,money and effort should matter both ways.

I'm with "Team Marty" on this one. Has Goldin Auctions grown too big, too fast? I don't think you should offer a service (like auctioning a raw lot such as this) if you don't have the people to sell it correctly. Maybe they should stick to graded cards only?

This almost always happens with the big guys they get too big for their britches and lose quality control. As for Marty's prices, not really relevant but please tell me they aren't like Dean's! As for posting it on here, they called Goldin and were given a bad answer, not everyone knows how to email Ken directly so it's hard to blame them for going public.

Whether you like it or not, in sales the benefit of the doubt goes to the buyer so in this case clearly Goldin Auctions is at fault/responsible for a full refund and apology.

Aldens or Hagen Daas? I can't decide.

This thing would not happen again since they will all be PSA10s and no more raw lots in Goldin auctions
