Awhile back there was a thread about a non-sports card set with Indians on the cards, but I can't seem to find it.

WinPitcher · December 17, 2004 9:19AM

Indians?? do you mean native americans?

MorrellMan · December 17, 2004 9:21AM

I think you're looking in the wrong teepee.

Edited to add: David, you're a sick man!!!!

You sure it was non-sports?

Vargha · December 17, 2004 9:33AM

More like these . . .

koby · December 17, 2004 9:43AM

You traded your 34 Goudeys for those?

Vargha · December 17, 2004 9:45AM

Nope.

Did this have to do with the Mimag tribe?

I think WIGWAM was a guy that was messing with slabs, but got busted. I hear he was native american.

sure, blame us..

Vargha · December 17, 2004 10:15AM

Some of them appear to be messing with the slab of that fort.

mikeschmidt · December 17, 2004 10:25AM

Hey - is that a pallet of teepees sitting outside in the parking lot?

Vargha · December 17, 2004 10:28AM

Pallets? What's this about pallets, Marc?

srs1a · December 17, 2004 10:28AM

Plastic tee-pees? Never

Stone193 · December 17, 2004 10:38AM

Naw, you guys have the whole story wrong:
There was this injun dude selling wampam in beaded bags and what he would do is "switch" the good wampam for lesser value wampam to unsuspecting white guys. Well, one of the people that the white guys was selling the bags to got wise to the deal and blew the whistle. Now the injun is up the creek without a "flip'n" paddle...

Vargha - I'm not sure what sort of parables you tell your kids, but with a one-year old, I sometimes find myself teaching these bizarro stories from Brothers Grimm and others that have pretty applicable business and life teachings.

There was that one story about the teepee manufacturer who sources too many materials from a single supplier, and wasn't very protective of securing the asset and property. As a result, ACME TeePee knockoffs started being sold on the streets of NYC by the same people who sell Kate Spade, Jimmy Choo and Rolex watches for $30 and under. The original teepee manufacturer's reputation was really hurt, and there was a lot of egg on their face.

Sometimes I wonder if kids really understand the morals of these stories - or if they just wonder what the hell we're talking about.

srs1a · December 17, 2004 10:45AM

Stone, thank-you for the clarification, I feel better now. No flip-in way I'm getting involved with wampam in funny beaded bags. Thanks again for the heads-up.

MS, please leave the fine folks at Canal Street Mechandising out of this.

Up the creek without a pallet?

NickM · December 17, 2004 2:34PM

mikeschmidt - you seem very tents. Is something bothering you?

Methinks you guys are referring to the company : When it Was a Game, or WIWAG.

I believe this company was found guilty of selling slabs graded by PSA,
which did not contain the actual cards graded by PSA,
but instead contained inferior cards inserted by WIWAG, into previously graded PSA slabs.

Since PSA's holders are tamper EVIDENT, which causes extensive cloudiness along the seams,
the only collectors who should be concerned by such shenanigans,
are those who know next to nothing about sportscards, or graded cards,
but who merely accumulate slabs with numbers on them.

If the shoe fits, stick it in your mouth ...

DaBigHurt · December 17, 2004 10:17PM

Good job, blaming the poor suckers that got scalped! bravo!

Cubfan · December 18, 2004 1:12AM

Its always the suckers that get scalped. Thats why they are suckers.

Dhjacks · December 18, 2004 2:07AM

Wolfbear,
Why do you insist upon bringing wiwag into this. That topic was settled long ago. Please......let's stay on topic.

Vargha · December 18, 2004 2:08AM

Agreed. That was a blantant effort to hijack my thread.

Dave all this talk, and upsetting confusion about Wigwams and teepees, either way your too tents (tense)

schr1st · December 18, 2004 10:04AM

I'm still trying to figure out if I have some bad wampum or not. Nothing personal, but the high chief should be forced to spend the cold season in the stink lodge for failing to protect his tribe.

WIGWAM thread?
