Must be something about Rose collectors...

...of course I'm kidding around, but I just had eBay cancel a bid because the high bidder on my PSA 10 1977 Rose card is no longer a registered user for reasons of being a dead-beat. Man, these guys are such losers it's incredible. What is so hard, bid, pay, get your card? How bored or irresponsible or dishonest do you have to be to repeatedly fail to seal the deal. Just think, these guys have wives, girlfriends, jobs...I guess I figured out who it is that never gets my order right at Wendy's at the late-night drive-up. They just can't crack the lunch schedule--they can dream, I guess.

PETE14ROSE04 is this week's loser who needs to be kicked in the groin by an angry police horse...

I guess Pete Rose collectors have a lot in common with the player they collect.

The Rose collectors that I know, myself included, have great feedback.

1420,
Of course you do...tongue-in-cheek all the way. It's just happen-stance that I've had three bad transactions and all three involved a Rose. I started the thread by saying I was kidding around in singling out Rose collectors...of which I am one. Absolutely NO OFFENSE intended or inferred.

The maneuvering of the Rose collecting community is rather unique besides interesting.Interesting experiences
with Rose collectors,to say the least.... all were nothing short of positive.

(Knock on wood)

On the bright side Phil,a real collector would happily bid,pay,receive and be happy with from your collection.Therefore,you won't have to give it up to a nightmare that could spin further out of control.

dgf - I was kidding. I believe we have had a transacation or two. Rose fans/collectors (at least me) take it a little hard when our boy is getting constantly bashed. Now all of a sudden, he was a jerk when he played, he is not as bad as a coke head or wife beater, he commited murder and now there is a correlation between deadbeat bidders and Rose collectors. I cringe everytime I see ROSE in a header.

I too was just kidding - I was a huge Pete Rose fan when I was a kid. Still think his 65 and 67 topps are a couple of the best looking cards Topps ever made.
