msg number 1...
Dear tsalem,

SIR ...I AM A VERY BIG FAN OF THE A&G PRODUCT &
THIS JUST SO HAPPENS 2 BE 1 OF THREE3 THAT I DON'T HAVE YET & DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT EXISTED. CURRENTLY MY STATUS OF LEAVING THIS NURSING HOME IS UNCLEAR, AS I WAS RECENTLY SHOT BY A FAMILY MEMER & PARALYZED FROM THE CHEST DOWN. ALTHOUGH I SHOULD BE LEAVING BY THE END OF MAY. IF NO ONE HAS BOUGHT YOUR SET BY THEN, (WHICH I HOPE THEY HAV'NT), SORRY, BUT I REALLY WOULD LIKE 2 FULFILL MY A & G COLLECTION, U CAN COUNT ON ME 2 AT THE VERY LEAST MAKE U A REASONABLE OFFER. HOW DOES THAT SOUND, AS RIGHT NOW I'M 48 YEARS OLD AND WHO WOULDA EVER THOUGHT THAT I'D BE STARTING THE BASICS OF LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN. PLEASE RESPOND..THANK U,,TIMOTHY

Here was my reply...
Thank you for looking at my auction. If this set is still available when you get out, I look foward to your offer. This is the ONLY 2006 allen ginter mini no number set known! (2 cards shy) Thnx Tom

Msg number 2 from him...
Dear tsalem,

I don't remember Tom if in my last email that i told u i was recently shot & paralyzed, by my wifes brother, & then he killed himself. I probably didn't because unless somebody asks me i just don't tell them. Anyway, my life is just now in the basic stages of restarting 2 learn how 2 do the simpliest things. Like feed myself, learning how 2 straight catherize myself, pull a tank top over my head etc. This is 1 of those things where u think it could never happen 2 u
kinda things. why tom do nowadays people want 2 take somebody w/ them, instead of just taking there own life. And beleive me u never know who it might be either. 4 example the psychatrist who shot up his army buddies in fort hood tx, remember that. Anyway 2 be totally up front w u, i will never again be able 2 afford a set like yours. Besides i'm gonna get out of the hoby anyway. Although Tom if your interestead in trading 4 my collection which as a seller u could make double what u r asking 4 your set, another email2 come

I did not reply.

msg number 3 from him...

Dear tsalem,

as i was saying Tom, i've got alot i mean alot of good stuff from autos 2 paralels, serial #'d graded rookiues leron james, jordans, complete sets, tons and tons of rookies, and w/ that would come about 100,000 more cards. let me know if u r interested. -please respond 1 way or another/.thanks 4 your consideration. Timothy

I did not reply to him.

Msg number 4 from him...
Dear tsalem,

TOM DID U RECEIVE MY LAST EMAIL? I CAN BE MORE SPECIFIC IF NEED BE. THANKS AGAIN,,GOD BLESS,,,TIMOTHY

I did not reply to him.

Msg number 5 from him...

Dear tsalem,

SIR Did u not receive a total of at least 3 e-
mails from myself 2day or am i confusing u w/ someone else. I don't think so. In fact i know so. Why is it that u have yet 2 return a message from myself. You know something my friend, it really irritates me when people say, "I didn't have time 2 call u 2day", when in actuality it only takes "LITERALLY" about 8 seconds 2 dial the
phone # and check-in, say your allright, "I'm gonna be a little late", u see where I'm headed as your not anywhere near dumb nor stupid. Although just in case u r missing the point here I'm referring 2 the same examples I've used up above, but in the sense of an email. If me being paralyzed & can type w/ a straw,(which i have 2 do, due 2 my paralysis) it takes me 4ever & a weekend 2 get out a message 2 u. All I've asked u 4 is a response 2 my previous emails. If in fact u havn't re-checked your emails, (which i think is highly unlikely, then please 4give me & accept my apology ahead of time. Thx alot,,Timothy

I did not reply to him as I just got these msgs because ive been out all day coaching my sons baseball team.

All I can say is now I know why someone shot him!

    I really shouldn't be laughing this hard at this...

    Since getting back into this hobby as an adult i've come to realize there are quite a few loose cannons who frequent the shops and local shows i've been to.
    I've seen some dandies and not surprised anymore, the crazy crap you read on these boards from some obnoxious poster just might be one of those quirky special people.

    This hobby hits home with all types of characters, just remember we all come together as fans of the cardboard and should be respectful to each other.

    I'm curious as to which family member shot him and why?

    << <i>I'm curious as to which family member shot him and why? >>




    Wife's brother. Because he didnt want to buy all the serial # parallels and autos. (Ok, made the last part up)
  • I've never heard the term "paralyzed from the chest down."
  • I think I am starting to understand the why part of it!

    "...This hobby hits home with all types of characters,...."

    In my experience, it has little to do with the card hobby.

    I list in dozens of categories and get crazy/lonely folks
    trying to talk to me EVERY day.

    EBAYers, in general, are nutz; not because they are
    collectors, but because they are part of the full pool
    of humans.

    LOL@ "full pool". I like that! Kind of like the term "unwashed masses" with less of a condescending overtone.

    Are you cereal?

  • If that dude is 48 and e-mails like that, I feel sorry for him image It sort of reminds me of the desperate folks on Craigslist that try to move 1987-1992 cards in bulk. The desperate type that says stuff like this...My grandmother's sick,I lost my job.. yada yada yada talk... Some are telling the truth but others are just using the "oh poor me" line... It sounds like a 13 or 14 year old kid too me. Who know's
