Last Night's Legendary Auction

[calvindog]

John, you don't have to report to me about anything. All anyone expects is for you to not lie on this board. And since you're a card investor and not a dealer I'm sure your credibility here is not much of a concern to anyone who might otherwise feel uncomfortable.

And the more you talk about Doug, the more one question keeps coming to mind: do you and Doug have a business relationship beyond what you've described in this thread?

[nyyanksghr]

Doug is a great guy. Rob Lifsons a great guy, contrary to what Josh Evans reported at the dinner, Josh is a great guy too, and I have business relationships with them all.

Dang that pesky FBI, going after good guys.

Jeff,

Were you considering picking up that Wagner for a future trade with me?

I think it would have been wise.


Reading through this thread....
I especially like this post....

"Calvindog- I heard that rumor too. I heard I sold it for less than a mill, I heard I sold it for 2 mill., and the best, I heard I traded it for the worlds best collection of Beanie babies. None of these rumors are true."

A whole bunch of alternate rumors were stated and denied.....
yet the real question of still owning the wagner was not addressed.



Ah.... what a great card that Wagner is.
One day. one day.

I know, I know. So many good guys in this hobby, goodness just abounds. Even the guys who claim that other good guys are actually bad guys -- they're good too.

But it's just so unfair that so many good guys are being looked at by the feds. But look at the bright side: at least the FBI doesn't go after people who dodge straightforward questions on chat boards.

For the record, Jeff, I am now the proud owner of three (Yes, that's 3) Wagners!

Picked one up from the Memory Booth each day I was there, (Wed., Thurs., AND Fri.)

Can't have too many mouse pads.

'09 auction and I don't know who to believe anymore.Doug Allen a good guy?I always thought so and had a good business relationship with him.Now?No reply to emails.

Where have you been? Numerous appeals have been made on the forum to contact Leon to facilitate payment and I believe in all cases our members have been paid when they have done so. Obviously that a consignor would need to do that in order to get paid is absurd, but if you want to get paid, it seems to be effective.

From the NY Daily News
Allen says the matter is out of his hands. The responsibility to pay consigners and other creditors belongs to Mastro Auctions, which was owned by Silk Road Equity. Silk Road has a small stake in the new auction business, Allen adds, but Legendary Auctions is a completely separate entity from Mastro Auctions. "I will share their frustrations until everybody who did business with Mastro Auctions is made whole," Allen says. "I wish we could meet those old obligations and start with a clean slate. But legally, we have done everything appropriate."
