Touche. Very professional and confidence inspiring. I always trust people who don't give their names.

A few snippets from the article linked in the other thread that was just posted about this same find:


John, whose full name is being withheld by Auction Monthly, pulled the tin container out and took it back to his home in Sacramento.

“I couldn’t believe what was inside when I first opened the lid,” said an official from Auction Monthly.

An official for Auction Monthly, a company founded by a father-son duo, said they knew what much of the collection held


I like my privacy like any other red-blooded private American citizen full of red colored blood, but geez, it seems that the owners of this company didn't even allow their first names to be identified in the article. They certainly are withholding more than the card owner's name, and all it does is make you wonder why all the secrecy.

If you like your privacy, a business in which you do press releases might not be for you.

The article that says "a representative " is the same press release just handled better by that particular publication instead of using just "Brandon" which makes no sense.

I agree with the majority. The transparency of this company is lacking. What is also puzzling is why did Brandon reached out to Sonny only not to the others that posted here.

They also waited 3 1/2 years to make their first post.

Hopefully Sonny reports back with some info.

I dunno about that. Sonny’s been here 5+ years and only posted 26 times.

I look forward to talking to you. Thanks, Brandon.

Brandon,

I appreciate the offer, but agree with the other members that if you'd like to share info about your company and who you are - please do it here so all can see.

In the sports cards / memorabilia world, we know the full names of just about all the owners / operators of the auction houses and consignment services. I really can not think of one company that I do not know the owner's full name (and some of their employee's full names as well) - and I buy and sell with 99% of them.

So, when a company shows up that we can not find info on the owner, they have limited contact info, and are named as an "auction" company, but do not have any history of holding an auction, questions arise as to why that might be.
