Would love to see a spreadsheet after the auctions end comparing end prices to vintagesnowmobile's listed prices.

Not what I expected to see on eBay tonight.
I feel like this is going to need a thread all to itself.
It’s mesmerizing just to scroll through them on the app and watch the gold go by.
I will enjoy watching, and good luck to everyone who goes after their guy!
(I guess there are 130+ mirror blues as well, but...)
And go...
In 2001 Playoff had a 3,000 count box half full with 1996-97 Select Certified Mirror Gold HOCKEY cards. They were all serial numbered to /30 each. They just sat on a shelf by Noel Linox's desk (my current assistant and Former CS Manager). I worked there from June-October. In Sept. for a week I had to go to NY for a court deposition (against a former medical field employer). When I returned the box DISAPPEARED. i GUARANTEE every card in that box was sold "OUT THE BACK DOOR" to Dave & Adam's Card World. This is what I busted Larry Blackwell for (former Playoff President and MUCH YOUNGER kiss-butt boyfriend of owner Ann Blake).
When I kept fighting with Blackwell about all the STUPID decisions he was making that would hurt collectors, he finally downgraded me to an "outside consultant", but I continued working there for a couple of weeks until Ann Blake returned from vacation (she was literally "on vacation" nearly the entire 5-months I worked there other than a random day here or there!). As soon as I got back home to FL, I sent her an email blaming Larry Blackwell for stealing 600-count boxes at least weekly that he was selling to Dave & Adam's for pennies on the dollar in exchange flor DACW buying many more cases of future products (which made him look REALLY GOOD to his girlfriend).
This was when Ann Blake cut all ties with me because she obviously didn't believe me, but I had PROOF in two places that I decided not to tell her about because I didn't know whether she knew about what Blackwell was doing or not.
Then their own Manager of Security did her own internal investigation into all of my claims (which I put on my website the instant Ann Blake but me off) and found proof that Blackwell was stealing from my former department. Then Magically Larry Blackwell got fired just weeks after Renee Greenlee (Manager Of Security) produced her reults to Ann Blake in 2002. Then Ann fired Renee days later!!!
There was employee theft going on at Pinnacle like crazy as well. When I first started Carlos Torrez (former Playoff CS Manager & current 2001 Product Manager) asked me if I had any info about the stolen 1998 Donruss Signature Significant Signatures of Nolan Ryan and Ozzie Smith (there were others I discovered too). So when I found they guy who had EVERY SINGLE missing Significant Signature in 16-minutes with his full name and address on eBay, Carlos hugged me and couldn't stop thanking me. He said "I spent three years trying to find who stole those cards with no luck!". It turned out that Pinnacle's truck driver (who drove all the leftover products from Pinnacle to Playoff when Playoff bought out Pinnacle in 1998) was stealing tons of cards like crazy for years! Yet Playoff never had him arrested even though a long time CS employee from my department (Stephanie DePaul) announced that she knew for a fact it was the Pinnacle truck driver who stole all of those 1998 Significant Signatures in 1998!
THEN WHY THE HELL DIDN'T SHE TELL ANYONE THEN? And people wonder why I wanted to FIRE EVERYONE working in Playoff's Customer Service the instant I took the job??? So it's very likely that anyone selling huge numbers of these VERY RARE Mirror Gold cards bought them from Pinnacle's truck driver. When Playoff bought out Pinnacle, they fired this truck driver. That's when he started releasing all the stuff he stole tro hobby dealers across the country.
There was another seller on eBay about a year ago who was selling over (80) different non-graded 1997 Mirror Gold Football cards all ending on the same day too. I clearly remember because I wanted the Trent Dilfer and was outbid the last second for $18.17.

I look forward to your obfuscations, delusions and fictional depictions of your heroic actions. Don't forget to bring up Gary Carter and card donations.
