Another Lampson Gem!

[hblakewolf]

How about this gem from Lampson!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Ken-Griffey-2001-Cincinnati-Reds-Game-Used-Worn-Jersey_W0QQitemZ270373965336QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item270373965336&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A3%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Not only is it void of the usual extra length tag found on Griffey gamers, but how about this for a description of the numbers, "Stitching on numbers is looser than factory norm suggesting possible local affixing"



Add this to the other clasic "Lampsonisms"

Re: Another Lampson Gem!

Also interesting is that the seller notes, "I am forced to sell a few items from my personal collection. My loss is your gain"

I doubt Mitch will see a "loss" on this shirt that just sold in March 29th 2009 Vintage Authentics auction for $474.70 (which includes the buyers premium!).

Howard, I am confused?

What is your point? You don't like that the seller bought this recently and now says they need to sell items? What is your point?

Oh by the way, did you email the seller, Vintage Authentics or Lou Lampson about your concerns with the letter? You mention issues that per forum rules must be asked prior to posting.

You say it is void of an extra length tag so did you email any of these three about your concerns before posting questions on here? Are you not familiar with the forum rules found in these links?

Is it possible to attach audio to your posts? If so, I think we need to attach a siren to Joels. I'm sorry, but its getting old, what did the seller say?, did you email your concerns?, what did lou say?, and so on. If you don't like the job that the people that run this site are doing, let them know (which I know you have done several times). If you dont like their response or lack of response to the situation, dont visit the site anymore. I believe in rules too, but seriously man, let the mods do their job. Again, I'm sorry, but enough is enough!

Re: Another Lampson Gem!

I'm with Joel on this one, seems like lately there have been too many "Sherlock Holmes" wanta-be's on here (no one in particular) calling out people and items for sale. Nothing wrong with that as long as you are 100% sure of what you are claiming, no room for opinions when trashing someone...having said that, as per "FORUM RULES" before trashing someone and or their items, CONTACT THEM FIRST. You may be surprised and get a valid explanation on why ... they may not know the problem with their item in which case you would have done your job in pointing it out and they would have the opportunity to address the issue. It may just be an honest person with no malicious intent unaware of the problem... Makes sense don't ya think? Administration is not always available right away to monitor as they have been very busy with their new ventures (Platinum marketing, Forum Store, etc) No problem in pointing out the rules. Just my humble opinion..

Re: Another Lampson Gem!

When Joel seriously asked if the poster tried to reach the unreachable Mr. Lampson, he pretty much undermined his point. I suggest if Joel feels a rule is being violated that he report the post involved to the actual mods instead of playing vigilante mod.

Like I said, I'm all for the rule. I just dont think its Joesl job to enforce it. I believe if the poster doesnt include the response (or lack of after the mandatory time period), the post should be deleted and the poster suspended and then banned for repeat offenses.

I'm sure that Lampson or Vintage Authentics can be reached, if not sooner, later. But reachable or not, that is the protocol as established by the adminisrators of this forum, contact the people in question "before" you post....it's not a "feeling" Joel has, it's the rules.

George, can Vintage be reached? Sure. But Mr. Lampson? You must know better than that.

While Joel is accurate, as you are, as to the rule, I think it's his persistent obsession with playin' vigilante Sheriff here that's causing some backlash. As I said, if he wants to report a violation to the mods fine, but stop playing mod.

Why do you think Joel is trying to play a role of a vigilante sheriff? Because he chooses to obide by the rules of the forum? It's unfortunate that these rules are seldom enforced and many members know that, allowing them to post their opinions here before even questioning the seller. Maybe Joel is just interested in hearing the auction house's or Ebay lister's answer to their inquiry? Which is why he asks what their reply was. Don't you think that would make interesting and educational reading here? Nobody has seen every one of Griffey's gamers to say that they all had an extra length tag. It's very common, but certainly not concrete. To state otherwise would be irresponsible. I'm not indicating that you should agree with me, rather just look at it from this perspective.
