Is there a problem with sportscardlink auction house? I registered, bid and won last night. I am missing something?

Steve,

I think you are fine. I have never had any problems with SportsCard Link Auctions. They are referring to another auction house...coincidentally the two auctions ended at the same time.

Yeah, quick FYI, "game worn jersey" may simply mean that Steve Jensen wore that jersey to a game.

Steven, I didn't interpret that he was saying or insinuating anything against Sportslink. I think he was just weeding out active auctions.

Sportscardlink is not the auction house in question. Sportscardlink is run by Chris Porter whom I have known for years and believe he runs an honest business. I have only had the best dealings with Chris.

Doesn't Josh Nathanson run Sportscardlink? Josh used to live just a few blocks from me, but I'm wondering if he left Brooklyn and moved to Maine.

Totally different situation. My sportslink win from last night is already in the mail.

But I just got a call that a few hours after I paid with CC, about 2k in transactions went on my CC for UK online shops and about 4 others declined. First time I used my CC online in a while.

Does your CC offer Shopsafe, Chris? Mine has a service called "Shopsafe" where you can log into the CC company web site and get a temporary card number with a spending limit you can set for a single use. I use it whenever I do online shopping after an incident several years ago similar to yours. It is really great for not worrying about the security at the merchant sites.

I guess its a little wrong...I dont know....I not a big auction guy..but if I called in a bid...I would think it " OK" for the auction house to say..." sorry your still low...youd have to go to $ XXX. to be the new high bidder

Is that because you paid through the sportslink site or did that happen unrelated, I only ask because I won an auction last night and paid by credit card too.

I am unsure when my cc info was taken but its an odd coincidence that the first time I use it online in months (99% of my purchases are paypal/moneyorder) and within hours its tracked on 4 different UK websites.

I have called SCL and left a VM for a call back. Still excited to get that card

O ok I will just monitor my card then too afraid too see the high balance that I racked though . I am totally excited about getting my 48 Leaf Larry Doby. I thought I was done with post war but that baby was screaming my name I had to bid. Plus I do not know when I will ever see that card in nicer low grade condition again it seems more rare then some rare 19th century and rare pre WWI cards out there. I have been searching for one for 1 year now.

I don't know Josh Nathanson, but I believe Chris was hired last year to run the card side of it. Isn't there a related comic division?

Yes Jim. Josh is a big time comic book dealer. My understanding is Josh is still the owner of the baseball card division, but I may be out of the loop on this. I went onto his site recently and saw the phone number and address was for Maine. Don't know if he took the business north, or if he is still located in Brooklyn.
