I agree with Fandruw as well. Maybe not with the way he said it in the Henderson thread. But it wasn't too difficult to find on ebay once manofsteel started contacting everyone who needed a redemption card and stated he had multiple sets. Also, was very curious that he had multiple Andruw's for sale but yet none were available on ebay at the time. As soon as he sold me one for $8, one finds its way to ebay and promptly doesn't sell for the minimum bid. And who is selling it, manofsteel. I am all for people making a buck. But the way manofsteel went about making his bucks was a little deceiving, especially on a board where many of us help each other for free. So if you want to bust anyone's balls, look no further than manofsteel. He tried buying the original seller on ebay out and thought he could rape the board player collectors before listing them on ebay. All the while, knowing he had way more sets in hand than there were player collectors on this board. Unfortunately for manofsteel, the original seller had way more sets than he originally told manofsteel. Now Fandruw has some sets and thus the drama. **End of Cliff Notes on the Redemption Sets**
It's very strange that on a board full of prospectors, where there are daily threads made by people boasting about how much money they made flipping cards, I am just now learning that making money is a bad thing here and everybody just gives everything away for free.
Bizarre.
AndruwHRJones, I am starting a collection of my new favorite Yankee, Andruw Jones. Will you please send me some free stuff to get it started?
I guess you missed my point. I wasn't expecting him to give the cards away for free, I just didn't appreciate the deception and greediness he displayed with me PERSONALLY. I offered him $5 for one of the Andruw's he had. That offer in my opinion was more than fair considering how the market for his cards are these days. Had I known what price manofsteel had paid for a whole set, I would have thought the offer was WAY MORE than fair. So I get a reply from manofsteel saying he wanted $10 would go $8 for me. Now, I agreed to pay the $8 as I still assumed the card was rare and that there were not going to be 20-50 more sets flooding the market. Noone put a gun to my head, I agree I made the purchase.
My issue was with how he went about selling the cards to members of this board. Maybe he treated the Henderson collectors with a little more respect and honesty, I am not sure he can say the same for the other members he approached. As for his sales on ebay, by all means, those are fair game and I wish him the best. I just think using these boards to deceive and make money on the members is shady and low.
And I guess you don't know me well enough. I would be thrilled to find out another member of these boards were collecting Andruw Jones. I have a ton of duplicates just waiting for the next serious Andruw collector I find.
