What is the time frame for calling out the fact that you may have been taken by a CU Board Member

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
A board member did a multi-person submission back in early July and was gracious enough to let me add my cards to it. Results took several months to pop, but, per the submitter, the results popped and the cards were in the mail from PSA on October 5th. Last notification from the submitter was that the cards were received from PSA on Oct 25th (seriously, 20 days to received from PSA ?? ) and that they would be mailed to me in 1-2 days. That was the last response to a PM that I received, even though 2 additional requests for updates have been asked for. I will offer a profuse apology if everything works out and I get my cards, but I am past the point of being comfortable with the delays from the Board Member.

Not quite ready to call this guy out, but he does have my cards and my money and I can't get any response. Nor has he posted on the boards in a few weeks.

If interested, I can offer a time line of events, but let's go the simple route....any suggestions??

    WOW!! I would be VERY concerned! I have let people piggyback onto my subs, and I try to have cards out within one day, two days MAX of getting them back from PSA. And with PSA now shipping Priority Mail, I typically get them back in 3 days.....not 20 like your party stated!

    Just to make a note, I am in the same boat as the OP with the same group sub. My timeline of events and contact pretty much match exactly.

    << <i>How were the grades? >>



    My grades were great!! It was only 5 cards and I got (2) 10's and (2) 9's. They were on jumbo cards, so the higher grades are a little more difficult to come by. One of the PSA 10's has a very low production run (less than 100) and the other was a HOF Postcard SGC 98 crackout...both were the highest graded examples of each by at least 2 grades.

    Here's hoping that the cards get to you very soon. I would wait until the end of the week before doing anything crazy. I know he said he would mail them in 1 or 2 days, but maybe life got in the way and it took him 5 or 6 days. I think that if you do not receive the cards or you do not get any responses to your emails by week's end, all bets are off and do what you think you need to do to get your cards.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Does this person have a lot of posts on this board? Or could he be more of a hit and run guy?
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
  • nam812nam812 Posts: 10,586 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Not having your cards back after 4 weeks from the date of the pop is very excessive, and the 20 days from PSA to the submitter is likely BS.

    Name please.

    Been here a while, has less than 1000 posts, so not a daily poster, but is classified as a "Veteran". I am holding out hope that there is a valid reason for the delay and that Scott and I will get our cards, but, as most people who have replied to this thread have confirmed, there is cause for concern.

    well, guess that means that someone can take their pissy little vendetta against the member with the SNL character name and shove it sideways

    edit: I'll assume the member with the SNL character name shouldn't hold his breath waiting for an apology for the false accusation

    No apology given. I participated in the first three group subs here. The two done by Bill went like butter. The one done by the afore mentioned poster was the last one I would ever do with him.

    I have my own questions about it.

    So from that experience it is not a far stretch for me to believe that he may have been the one questioned. If the OP says it is not him, then I will take him at his word, but no apology.

  • thenavarrothenavarro Posts: 7,497 ✭✭✭
    IMO, whomever it is should make time to at least send you a tracking number you can check to see your shipment in progress. I've run a couple of bulk subs, and while it does get quite annoying answering the same questions over and over and dealing with people's skepticism, the organizer should at least keep people informed with info they can validate periodically. The flipside to that is once that info is provided and validated, they need to be left alone.

    Well, if it wasn't Gumby, and you accused him, regardless of your past issues with him, an apology is in order. If you want to lay out the facts of your bad deal, that's your prerogative, but to wrongly accuse someone of potential fraud DEMANDS an apology! If you feel that you are in the right for making such unfounded accusations and feel that you have no obligation to make an apology, then you are a tool! And this isn't about "getting a rise" out of you, this is about manning up for something that you did that is completely wrong.

    Why don't you get a little more specific, instead of casting vague aspersions against Gumby. You've been incessantly calling him names lately presumably because you've been going to town with your political posts elsewhere, and it's getting rather tired. Grow the hell up. I was was on Gumby's group sub, and my card arrived in a timely, forthright fashion. Why don't you explain what raised questions for you.

    With the work it takes to put one of these together, the work it takes to actually sub to PSA, and the work it takes to get everyone their sub back, it sounds more like he may have ran out of money to ship everything back to the original owners. Life has it's busy cycles, include that with the cost to get them back to people, that may be the biggest reason. Otherwise, only three others come to mind. He got kicked out of his house, he died, or he ripped you all off. I hope it works out!

    Toro...the "ran out of money" theory holds no water. I sent a PM to the submitter some time back offering to send more money for insured and/or delivery confirmed shipping. Additionally, it seems like there are only 2 of us that are on the hook with this submitter. There were some potentially valuable cards that Scott and I submitted, but only valuable to the Smoltz, McGwire, or Hoyt Wilhelm collectors. There were no high dollar vintage cards that he submitted for us, so that is what makes it more odd that he would try and get away with keeping them. All in all, there was not a lot of money to be gained by the submitter. As I stated earlier and others have, as well, we just want our cards.
