If you can find a non-auction advertised price for less than $199 delivered, please post it (---but you shouldn't bother, because you won't find one anywhere on the web or elsewhere). My price even beats some recent eBay auction comps like the one above. (Flintboy - Too bad you can't go back in time and buy the card for less).
I am posting a card for sale in a Buy / Sell / Trade section of the forum. The cards that I offer in my posts represent exceptional value to collectors. This is why they sell so quickly. The jealously of haters does not stop me from buying / selling / trading vintage cards. I will continue to ignore your non-sense and have many successful transactions with individuals who are interested in vintage card collecting. Thanks for the bumps though - I appreciate you keeping my posts at the top of the forum lists.

Need we remind you that centering DOES play a crucial part in pricing? All PSA 8's are NOT created equal and accordingly, they do not sell at the same prices.
passing it on for a reasonable price.. and he is on the b/s/t board..
I say gitty up

Or brag about how much his occassional foolishness does for his website or how much of a bang-up business he does.
He's a bit juvenile at times (aren't we all), and I have no problem with someone trying to make a buck, but I tire of his ill comparisions and inflated salesmanship. All one needs do is read the thread about his BGS Ryan rookie to see what I'm speaking of.

I don't see how that's a problem. No harm done as far as I can tell. And as for having any inflated sense of value or quality of the cards in his possession, I'd guess 9 out of every 10 collectors and/or dealers have the same sort of bias. I say cut the guy some slack and let him post on the BST board without a hassle.
confrontation he is using the forum the way it is supposed to be.
What he buys and sells items for should be of no concern to anyone. If you feel an item is priced high, don't buy it or make a counteroffer.

Consider the $199 offer a discount for the "witty banter" that one gets in return for posting in this forum.

As far as me not posting except to buy or sell cards, I see that as a plus versus all of the venom that you spew all over everyone else's threads. Anyone who does a search on your handle will quickly recognize that you have the forum equivalent of road-rage ("post-rage" I guess).
Have you considered therapy or anger management? You might give it a try.

This guy is catching grief here because of the way he acted when he was trying to sell
his Ryan rookie.
That was the thread where he dragged me into a pissing contest with him when all i asked was what did he want for the card.
And when he responded I simply said....oh ok.
He then went on and outright lied when he claimed I edited my post, insinuating that I had changed my story.
Meanwhile the edit was 1 minute after I posted and was for a typo and he wasn't even online at the time.
As far as I am concerned he can post here all he wishes (it is afterall a B/S/T) forum and price his cards
at any level he wishes.
I think this is why he is catching grief from many here.
If one goes to the PCGS forum, there, posted at the top are B/S/T rules.
Linking to a web site is not among the rules.

It may be interesting to note that tonight a Sandy Koufax 1961 Topps #344 PSA 8 NM-MT sold on eBay for $302 (including shipping, but not insurance). Here's the link...
1961 Koufax PSA 8 Sale - $302
I'm sure our friends on this board from the Psychic Card-Graders Network will claim that is is really a PSA 9 or 10 that was undergraded (I wish I could tell that from just a small scan and no scan of the reverse side of the card --- you really should start your own card-grading company. People could save on shipping by having you grade the cards based on scans e-mailed in to you).
This is the highest price that I've personally ever seen the '61 Koufax 344 PSA 8 go for at eBay auction. This raises a bigger issue --- Does a weak economic environment help or hurt the prices of collectibles such as sports cards?
I've heard eBay sellers say that they are seeing the weakest time ever since the start of the company. However, I'm seeing prices for vintage cards remain quite strong both at auction and direct sales. Just pondering this point tonight based upon the price recognized by the auction of this card.
