Actually, Carlos caught it. It appears to be Rondell White that took the pitch and is still staring at the blonde out in centerfield.

HAHA yeah I saw that I made a mistake when I first typed that. I was hoping nobody saw that. I don't know why but it seems I remember Carlos playing First Base. Boy have I been off on this thread.
Indulge me, everyone.
The Delgado card was purchased from my store by the username Rath54 . The item link no longer exists on eBay (it was purchased in March), but here is the URL to the original image:
So when you posted that it had just come back from PSA/DNA, it was a bit of a surprise. When you posted over on Freedomcardboard that all the rest I bought raw on ebay and then sent all to PSA for authentication., I was even more curious. Please note that this was his quote over there, in case it gets edited:

really nice stuff man~! where'd you get all those autos?
The ripken I actually sent off to the company that he does signings for, all the rest I bought raw on ebay and then sent all to PSA for authentication.
=================================================
So now here is where things get interesting. When checking the feedback for rath54, I discovered that the same ID bought a 1981 FDC of Ted Williams from me as well back in June:

I then checked the Feedback left for others, and noticed that right above the feedback left for me, there was feedback left for one of Mike's other accounts: mikelikesbaseball

I'm sure that many of you may already know that mikelikesbaseball is one of his other eBay ID's, but in case you need some proof, here is an image link from that Steve Carlton auction:

from one of the current listings of mikelikesbaseball, a 1989 Bowman Tiffany Ken Griffey Jr. card:
http://www.sdlink.com/upload/griftif3.jpg
and here is the image link for the Delgado he bought from me under the rath54 account and submitted to PSA/DNA:
http://www.sdlink.com/upload/92_delgado_dna_horiz.jpg
So we have an admission by Mike that he bought the card raw on eBay and submitted it to eBay, and we have proof that the ID used to buy the card from me (rath54) was also the ID used to "buy" an item Mike (mikelikesbaseball) was selling on eBay. So Mike, care to explain yourself?

<< <i>I'm confused. >>
Me too, but any thread that is going in the direction of taking hofautos down a few pegs is OK by me.
1). The 1992 UD Minors Delgado card was purchased from me by eBay ID rath54
2). rath54 "won" a card sold by mikelikesbaseball, one of the eBay ID's of the original poster of this thread
3). the original poster of this thread indicated over on another board that he purchased the Delgado card raw on eBay, and submitted it for grading
Sorry if my post was a bit confusing, but I wanted to make sure I posted all proof links, in case any disappear.
<< <i>I'm confused. >>
<< <i>So he bid on a card from one of his seller accounts? who cares! >>
That means he shilled his own auction.
HOFAUTOS has two buying IDs. He bought one card from you as Rath whatever and when you checked the feedback he also had left positive feedback as Rath for his other buying ID.
WOW!!!
That is downright nasty what he has pulled.
I have laready blocked both of his IDs.
He needs to step up the the plate right now and clear the record or be banished from the board.
<< <i>Unless it's malicious (bidding up a card because you know how much someone bid on it) I don't care, typically it's just sellers who don't want to sell something for less than they want to, I'm just saying personally I don't care if a seller sells something with a official ebay reserve or a non official
Please give me your eBay user ID so I can block you as well from all future auctions. Shilling is against eBay Terms and once you enter into an auction in which you get to choose the format comply with the rules.
I will be adding you to my signature in the future as well as a seller to avoid. We need to clean the scum up off this board once and for all.

<< <i>I said that I got the "rest" raw on ebay, generally speaking....I really didn't remember, but now that it was brought up, I recall it was bought for me as a gift from one of my friends.

Thanks. The inscription was only $60 extra...i think $60 well spent!
If I wasn't laughing so hard by that attempt to cover yourself, I'd be upset at your attempt to insult our intelligence.

Well, I haven't finished my beer yet...
My buddies sell my cards for me too! I like buddies!
Why does it surprise you? I know both you and Jenn list 1000's of cards. You must know what a pain it is. I like to buy and hate to sell....so I asked around and found a few people that were willing to do it for a very reasonable fee. Yes, I have my own account, and a lot of the cards I list, I don't think will ever sell, because I ask ridiculously high prices for. I have been very happy with rainmenesq...very professional, so I will probably do more business with them.
Edit to add: I actually have 3 different parties that sell cards for me on a regular basis, but will probably stop all but rainmanesq. She has a lot of fb, and was prompt at making changes in the listings.
IN an effort to change the subject (lol)....
It's a heineken night.. My wife found a small grocery store going out of business and listed everything in store at 50% off on craigslist. Two cases later, Craigslist is my 2nd favorite website now!
I tell people on fcbs that if anyone wants a card, and can't afford it, that I will buy it for them with 50% down, and when they finish paying it off, i will ship their cards to them, at no profit to me.
I did this for probably 20 people (i like the number 20). Then I get someone that tells me that they need a lot of money for surgery for their son. They want $3k.
Mind you, i don't know anything about this guy, but he knows the rules. He sends me $6k worth of cards and I send him $3k for the surgery.
He tells me that He will make the first payment by aug 15. I don't hear from him, and he is very slow returning emails. he tells me he has some cards on ebay that closed about a week ago, and then he will make me a payment (expecting min $250/mo).
How patient shoudl I be? Most of the cards he sent me I think are overpriced, but still think they will net at least $3K, so I really am not worried about it, but I really would like a payment so I know he plans on making good. I am hoping he is just preoccupied with his kids health and such. I am sure he is not pulling my leg and the cards are actually "hot", but the fact that he seems to be dissing me, has me a little concerned.
I am sure it will all turn out well...
<< <i>.........rath54 along with several others buy a lot of my cards........... >>
Sean, do you still have the name and address of rath54 from when he bought the Delgado card from you in March?
hofautos does seem to contest that he is mikelikesbaseball, so if you still have your sales records from the rath54 Delgado purchase, that should put a nice little bow on this POS package.
<< <i>OK I am back to being confused again. If HOFAUTOS bought the card, how could shill bidding the card benefit the buyer (HOFAUTOS). He would only be making the price higher? I know I am missing this. Please be nice.. >>
He was the seller (mikelikesbaseball) and the buyer (rath54). He uses his rath54 name to bid which sets a price he's willing to accept for the card. If someone outbids rath54, then it obviously sells at a price he's comfortable accepting because he set the price with rath54. If no one outbids rath54 he doesnt have to sell his card for a low price because as rath54 he is the winner.
Better?

Oh, and by the way I need to correct myself again, I don't like filling out forms, so even though I said "generally", that I submitted the cards to bgs a few months ago, because I hate filling out forms, I have someone else do my card submissions as well and since Sean is a mod at beckett and can probably check, I said I submitted them, but I actually sent them to someone (i believe in NC), to submit them for me.
Speaking of not liking to fill out forms, how is thsi story, truth or crap?
Someone sees a centered PSA 9 Vladdy Refractor of mine, and they want to know if it will cross to BGS. He offers me $1000 (I think i paid $450) if I will submit it to BGS and if it crosses. I tell him no, that I don't like filling out forms. I tell him that I will send him the card for $1000, he can submit it, and if it doesn't cross, that I will buy it back. He lives in Canada and doesn't want to do that. I tell him if he fills out the form and pays for the submission, that I will ship it to BGS. That's what we do. So I wouldn't fill out a form, even at the possibility of netting $550 profit. Here's another one, I don't like cropping and resizing. I put 4 to 6 cards on the scanner, and accept the default name. I pay someone else to crop, size, name, and upload scans for me. Time is money. The list goes on.
I know Mike is saying he didn't do this, but frankly, if people buy their own card because they don't want to sell it at a low price, I don't freak out about it. For some reason putting a "reserve bid" on something doesn't bother me like true up-bidding (traditional shilling) does.
