I am sorry it was you. I made a comment at dinner Friday night that some dumbass got ripped off when they bought out his table (unaware till now it was you). This sparked a huge conversation and tounge lashing of him. This guy is a true POS. Was removed from a few card shows in the midwest for selling fake Jordan RC's and altered cards. I wish there wasn't guys like him around. I hope some restitution is seeked based on what happened or maybe he will........................well I am not going there right now but you could kinda fill in the blanks if you know me

Sorry but you need to take some responsibility for your actions. Is he a scumbag, yes. Does this excuse his lying to you, no. But if you are there you need to scrutinize the cards yourself. Nobody with quantities of those cards, and set up at the national, is just giving them away and leaving tons of cash on the table. I am sorry you got burned and hope it does not keep you from buying cards in the future. However you need to take responsibility for a purchase you willingly made and were able to look at. There are reasons the grading vultures had not descended on the table. Again I don't mean to sound harsh but chalk it up as learning lesson and thanks for alerting possible newbies to this type of scammer. Lastly not to defend the scammer but a card can be pack fresh and have surface wrinkles it should NEVER have erasures though.

I was curious what this particular dealer looks like so I can remember the face when I attend big shows.
There is a youtube video of him here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcmY9sjLEmI |

First of all, a dealer who starts out as a Global grader is somewhat of a red flag for me. Secondly, I have never met the man, nor done any deals with him, but I have heard many horror stories.....

Mr. BASSIK AKA Sonny Boy
Usually dont answer dumb ass people like yourself who has very little knowledge of what there talking about or who they talk about,but I'm gonna make an exception to the rule for you!~You purchased cards from a person that were consigned to us,these cards were gorgeous,and I think the reason that you are letting your alligator mouth overload your patsy ass is because our consigner made money,and you tried to flip the deal and it didnt work out for the 'rookie' cards salesman,being you,Mr Sean Bassik? But I can rest assure you that you are gonna be served with a lawsuit for slander from a veteran sportscard dealer,maybe you should of stayed a coin dealer there sonny boy?Cause you have no business in the card industry and I also can assure you that we will be letting other dealers know your bad ethics and tactics!Pictures of these cards we have and anyone that wants to see them forward your email address to pirate8@aol.com,my name is Rick Giddings and yes I am the seasoned dealer that this ass clown tried to tear apart.Heck I was selling cards son when your momma was thinking about hatching your stupid hind end?And yea dummy we picked a booth at the National with bad lighting for a reason?And your the only patsy walking the show with a so called"bodyguard"?Who do you think you are walking around the greatest show in the world acting like your something special when 90% of the floor could buy you and your briefcase?My resume needs no more talking about,we have tons of customers across the U.S.,and Canada!My mentors sonny boy were guys like Kit Young,LarryFritsch,Bill Goodwin,and many more great dealers who make this occpation fun and enjoyable to this day!ENJOY YOUR PATHETIC LITTLE CARD DEALERSHIP IN BFE,AND BEFORE YOU GO KNOCKING ANOTHER GREAT DEALER DOWN,A SUGGESTION,KNOW WHO YOU ARE MESSING WITH?Heck Sean,wouldnt even know how to screw with cards,I avoid trimmers,erasers,doctors and scammers like yourself that dont know how to grade or where to sell it to? BEWARE OF SEAN BASSIK CARDS IN ARIZONA-------BAD SEED First dealer day at the national, poor lighting (only half of the lighting was on). I went to Chicago looking for large amounts of inventory. I found a dealer in a darker corner of the room who had a large collection of 50's of which seemed to be solid mid grade (ex up to nrmt) many Mantles, Koufax, Clemente rookies you name it this deal had it. When I looked through these cards they did appear to be just that. This 'deal' was described to me as "PACK FRESH" and "clean Exmt nrmt". This was my first mistake, I took someone for their word... I normally don't trust people and this is exactly why. I normally take an LED light to cards and check for problems but made the rookie mistake and did not on this deal. Paid him to where if the cards were ex+ I would have done solid on the deal, but any less and I lose out. Every 1953 had erased writing on them. Both Mantles out of 53 Topps had erased writing, every major star from the set had erased writing. Mays, Berra, you name it - erased writing. Every 1955 bowman had light surface wrinkles. All 6 Mantles, surface wrinkles, every Mays, every star surface wrinkles that you had to shine the light on just right to see. Four out of 5 Koufax rookies, surface wrinkles, Both clemente rookies, surface wrinkles Every year in this deal had problems that were not notated at the time of sale and he was happy smiling to my face and lying describing the deal as pack fresh and "exmt and better". I am not even going to go into how much money I lost because he had no problem lying. Beware. Beware. Beware. I had a police officer as security with me at the time of the deal who I am more than sure would be happy to verify all the things said by this sack of sh*t. Beware, deal with him at your own risk. Also I did a bit of research, it's funny - this guy over on the PSA forums had the same exact problem: http://forums.collectors.com/message...hreadid=896468[/QUOTE] |

Correct and to further elaborate, the goal is to not allow people to hide behind a keyboard. If they have a link to their full fledged website, with contact info and/or name then they don't really need their name on the board....anyone can click on their link...
**most likely every one posting in this thread will need their name to be known, so don't comment if you don't want your full name out here in public.... ![]()

Dear Gizmossportscards,
Please put your full name on your posts if you want to continue this posting. As per Forum Rules. Thankyou Sir![/QUOTE] That is funny. Your full name is not in your post and you call someone out for the same transgression. It is good to see you have some humor about it in the later post. All is good with the world I hope.

Sean is a good kid. As for Gizmo.....seems common sense will prevail. Sean chalked this up as experience and he owned it. I have head nothing but questionable things about the Jizmo character. I remember calling him out on his fake fro-joy Ruths years ago only to get internet tough guy rants. Sean, please contact me before you purchase deals from midwest dealers. I could have saved you some heartache and $$.

I have seen Giz at many shows in the Midwest and witnessed his craziness on the PSA boards. It seems his method on these boards is the same as the others I have seen him on. Now I know why I have chosen to stay far away from this guy and his tables. I will continue to tell my friends at the shows we attend to stear clear of him as well. He may have a decent inventory but it just isnt worth the hassle of dealing with the man or the potential for card issues.

I got an autographed copy of Hager's comprehensive price guide to rare baseball cards 1886 to present book, which is worth zip. Probably belongs in the trash. This is what happens to people that ruin the hobby.

Who made this guy a card dealer?This guy walked around the convention with a briefcase of money trying to impress people?What he is,is a pupil of a card hobby that he knows nothing about?Or who the players are?I CAN TELL YOU THAT ANYONE THAT SEEN THE CARDS THIS IDIOT DESCRIBED FALSLEY,WE CAN PRODUCE PHOTOS OF THE COLLECTION WHICH WAS CONSIGNED TO US! PLEASE EMAIL US AT PIRATE8@AOL.COM FOR PHOTOS.Also MR.Baskin AKA sonny boy we have two witnesses to you purchasing cards in bad lighting on a floor where the lights were not turned on yet?And this clown was walking around the show with a bodyguard?I can see by the way you try to tear good dealers down you would need one!My suggestion sonny boy AKA Sean Baskin is that you delete your false statements,cause you are in threat of a large lawsuit,screwed with the wrong guy there Mr. Mustache!----And treat people the way you want to be treated? And let your concious be your guide.Sorry fellow dealers and collectors,we hate answering false prophets,but this one had to be done.Maybe you should stay with coins,hope you know how to grade them,cause you sure dont know cards!!!!!!----And for the guy asking about erased cards,trimmed,and all that stuff,wee do not sell,buy or do business with any of the doctors in industry--its called morals!

...see, what you want to do, after you add a closing punctuation mark, like a question mark, exclamation point, or period, you want to hit "spacebar spacebar." Watch closely, I'm going to do it right now. See that? It separates sentences and makes it much easier for your reader's comprehension. Hey, I just did it again! And again! I think it gets addictive after a while.

Also MR.Baskin AKA sonny boy we have two witnesses to you purchasing cards in bad lighting on a floor where the lights were not turned on yet?
This is such a great sentence. It delivers, yet leaves the reader wanting more. So many questions. Does Gizmo really not remember Sean's last name, or is he just mis-spelling it to be cool? Does he really have two witnesses to Sean purchasing cards in bad lighting on a floor where the lights were not turned on yet? Or does he not have two witnesses? Does he know what a comma is? Did he simply drink too much on a Saturday night? So much intrigue. Luke Lyon

The great thing about America is that we can walk around with briefcases full of money, and bodyguards, and can choose our hobbies (whether it be coins or cards or both). Not sure why these are even issues.

When you are typing a response on this forum, if the word is underlined in red, that means it is spelled incorrectly. Right click on the word and it will give you the correct spelling.
Try it sometime. Thank you.
