    And a relativbe bargain when you considere how much the infamous 78 and 79 wrappers and gum sold for! Selling the gum is just garbage, plain and simple.

    The seller left a phone number in their description... maybe someone can call and ask them why they choose to be a part of the problem.

    On a different note, he says it came from a case. I'd love to know what batch# as his cards were killer.

    I guess there is jerk for every topps issue.

    Very bush league. Pun intended.

    Is this fool a member here?

    Obviously, calling these jerks out has little effect on them. Their greed is just disgusting. This just goes to show if you are going to collect something, in this case unopened, educate yourself as to what to look for to spot the fakes before you plop down your money. A true collector doesn't need a ton of wrappers and gum so you know with 99.99% certainty where these are going to end up. But if you're a member here chances are you already know this. If only there was a way to get this out to the general public and the beginning collector. They are the ones that are going to get burned.

    Just saw it this morning and came on here to post about it. Not surprised Jim was all over this. I guess when your name is "Mini"Duff, you are the first to know.

    Everyone has their own moral compass and, unfortunately, some work much better than others. As prices continue to rise for unopened, I think we will see this happen more and more.

    That's lame and yes from this seller is surprising.

    This guy has single handed doubled or tripled the POP report this past year for 88 Score Glossy Alomar RC in PSA 10. Went from POP 8 to 29. He endlessly lists them :-(

    so...would it be okay to sell one wrapper at a time or 5 wrappers at a time???

    what is the magic number? just no gum, right...

    My two cents, one wrapper at a time or a small bundle of the wrapper variations (i.e. different mail in offers on back) for a given year would cause no issues.

    No gum would be key, especially the wider gum. It's an obvious reseal when they put the 80s gum in a 70s pack.

    He removed the gum. I know of at least one message he received requesting he do so.
    I commend the seller for taking action and putting priority on he hobby over his economic gain.
    Well done.

    Very nice to see.

    I have had several great dealings with this seller.

  • mattinglymint23mattinglymint23 Posts: 1,261 ✭✭
    I think it just goes to show that a sole proprietor can be reasonable and will be commended for seeing the light and doing the right thing.
    As opposed to, say, a collective of collectors.
    Today was a good day.

    I don't have to be told to do the right thing....just saying.
