If my wife was ill the last thing I would worry about is cards....
That said, if it happened to me I would ask a trusted member (for me it would be Andrew) and send all the cards to him to sort out and get back to their owners. Dump all the cards into a priority box, send it out, and forget about it. Let your friends help you out in your time of need....
With that said, that said, ;) If he is still buying and selling on eBay, shame on him for not taking care of it himself.

I have had a ton of bad things happen in my life but I always handled my responsibilities. I don't wanna sound like a jerk but this is used way to often around here as a crutch. Pick up a phone and talk about to guys who are concerned. Its not that difficult.

Preach! What a joke, obviously the guy continues to live his life and the lack of response is flat out inexcusable. Good luck to all involved in this charade.

Does anyone live remotely close to Brunswick, MD? I'd be willing to contribute for gas money, as I'm sure several others would. Just to go check things out and see whats up.

If it helps, I will be about 45 minutes from there on Friday. I dont mind going a little further just to check on things. IF a mod wants to give me the word, I'll make the trip. I hate seeing people sitting empty handed with nothing to go on.

Ok, I feel bad for people who have lost cards. I really do. (Especially when each of your cards are more $$ than any Gwynn I got! :lol: )

But this is getting exciting... :D Go TomMurry, Go!

The ball got rolling on police action about two weeks ago. We have been examining our options and gave talmer one final chance after we heard about his wife's surgery. But with no response, we r set to file the paperwork or give his local pd a call by the end of the week.

Appreciate all the support. I fully believe this will end up fine for us involved, but it may take some extreme action to get to that point

As an outsider on this sub, although I've subbed to talmer twice prior without any issues, I still fully expect he'll do everyone right.

Def more worried about the health of his wife but someone above posted that he's buying/selling on eBay while this is all happening is what's troubling me... ::facepalm::

I'm sure all will work out and it sucks that all this trouble has to be done to get it resolved..

Damn like most I was hoping this would be fixed by now. Is he really selling on ebay right now? Or was that an example?

He bought a '52 auto the first week on Jan and one other item. Far less than his normal but still activity.

I figure if he's 'ashamed and could just turn everything over he might do it if someone picked them up from his house. Again, ill already be in the area.

I agree with this approach. Just politely knock on the door and explain that you were in the area and wanted to take this problem off of his hands. Frame your explanation for being there as you're a friend trying to help keep the police from knocking on the door.

I would even have someone call him and let him know that someone is coming by to get the cards, leave it on his voicemail when you'll be there and that if he can't or doesn't want to be there that he can leave the cards on the front porch or somewhere safe, yet accessible.

I just figured since I don't have a horse in this race it would be easier rather that someone pissed off at him.

No Tom

If anyone goes to his house it needs to be someone involved in the submission or the website.

If someone came to my door pissed off, you could forget about me answering. People seem more interested in getting their stuff back than anything else. You obviously don't know anything about Maryland police/highway patrol. People will be waiting a year before they hear anything. Maryland has more serious backlogs of crime to worry about right now than sports cards.

Have you guys had any indication that he's alive/active anywhere at all?

I was told his facebook page is alive and well also.

He last posted during the AFC championship game on 1/22. Appears like either he knows he ripped people off (I dont feel this way), or he's embarrassed and just doesn't want to come clean or feel the backlash
