CU Members Beware

nam812nam812 Posts: 10,579 ✭✭✭✭✭

I just wanted to let everyone know that the CU member Harnessracing is actually the disgraced, but not banned, member gaspipe26, which he freely admits to in the "It seems like older PSA certs (same grade) are selling for less" thread.

In case anyone isn't familiar with the all defrauding that gaspipe26 attempted in April/May of 2021, you can read about it in this long, but eye opening thread.

https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1056442/did-anyone-here-attend-this-auction-in-delaware-mostly-unopened/p1

Now everyone can make their own choices with accurate information, and not revisionist history.

Edited to add: People can think whatever they want about me, but I care about this forum, and it's members.

    Some things never change. Good to see a few familiar names are still around here. Nick is one of the good guys and has consistently had the forum’s back as far back as I can remember. Appreciate the heads up!

    Wow, blast from the past for sure. It's got to be 10 years at least for you. Great to see you, and I appreciate the kind words. You were real life friends with the member brianwintersfan if my memory serves me? It's definitely not the same here anymore, but I hope you're sticking around for a while.

    Yes, Steve and I are friends. He’s the one who told me about these forums way back when. He probably regrets that. I’ve caught the collecting bug again so I’ll probably be around for a while. Things seem a bit more tame around here than they were when I said my Irish goodbye.

    Those CU BBCE group breaks were legendary. They changed the direction of my collecting and increased my hobby enjoyment by 10X. I signed up 2 months before 9/11 when I was working overseas. I missed the hobby and it was a way for me to connect back home.

    I do miss the group breaks immensely. Those were so much fun!

    Been around quite a while myself and glad to see you guys still lurk around like I do. The good ole days when we did gift exchanges and people actually sent their package as they were supposed to and usually gave some good cards.

    The gift exchanges got crazy, each person one upping the next, at the end someone would get a nice card, cards, item, etc.

    FYI, the Vintage Packs Group on Facebook has a lot of old heads too. Many from the BBCE Group Rips. Don't recall the exact name but maybe someone can post it.

    Some legendary members from long ago. Been a long time since I chatted here. Slowly transitioned to coins around 2011. Nick is definitely one I miss talking with. A real top shelf guy.
    Detroitfan was a huge help when I was building my 1955 Topps set.
    All these names bring back good memories! Hope you are all doing well!

    Dang Downtown is still around! How are you Bob?

    P.S. Bob was the one who was old enough at the time to buy the tobacco for the T206 rip.

    I check in often, but haven't traded or offered a contest in ages. Lots of familiar names...good to see.

  • nam812nam812 Posts: 10,579 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I just saw a "like" that I got and it made me see that, although I'm sure I missed many, many names, I missed a very good friend in Mike (Bosox1976). Yahtzee Mike!!

    Post #’s here is a little bit like counting the rings on trees.

    Sad though, some of the elder trees got chopped down for throwing too much shade.

    Good to see some familiar names posting. I've been on here for almost 25 years between my 'gemint' and previous '69Topps8' handle. I was never banned but I don't recall why I changed names. I think it had to do with conversion to the new message board format (2001?). Does anyone remember when the new board started and can we still access the posts from the original forum?

    Pretty sure that was 2001 and I remember that was the earliest registration date I'd see back when the join date appeared under your avatar. There was another overhaul and platform change maybe a decade or so ago but all of the previous posts and messages were imported with that one.
