Re: Historic Denial?????
If that is the case that they intentionally blocked or deactivated your account for the sole purposes of not wanting to hear your legitimate concerns, then that is unbelieveable. You would think they would want to know in order to maintain a good reputation.
Word of mouth is a powerful tool. Don't people realize that the more they do these type things, word gets around. It is really worth making a few dollars up front, to only find yourself not being able to sell much later.
I think there are just to many people who jumped into this hobby only to make a dollar. They lack knowledge, experience, and most of all, they just don't care. How they sleep at night I'll never understand.
Sellers should be responsible to ensure they know what they have and what they are selling. Although the buyer should do their homework (which I just learned myself), it should mainly be the sellers responsibility to ensure what they are selling is legit. Too many excuses these days.
Hope it isn't what you think it might be. If so, then this again just confirms how much I''m beginning to not trust anyone in this hobby.
Keep us posted.

Re: Historic Denial?????
i have not read anything that would lead me, to making a purchase with an auction house. i have never and will never consider that option. is the sole purpose of contacting an auction house with a question or a legimate concern over authenticity? or are some just policing the hobby? i wouldnt get on the high horse after this forum was letting game cut yankee shirts being sold here. yes i know they were clearly noted as game cut....... but we all knew what would happen latter.... the response WE CANT CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS LATER. was lame then and im still angry about this. maybe someday youll be writing to these auction houses about some game issued yankee shirts that were hawked right here under your nose have a good weekend Jeff

Re: Historic Denial?????
I like the work you are doing Eric. It's obvious you're putting a lot of time and energy into this...and at no profit for you. Even if they think you're a pain in the ass gadfly, I do not understand these tactics. Not allowing you to view the auction from this forum and not allowing you to contact them is facist. I have considered bidding on a few of their items in the past, but their recent behavior is unprofessional and absolutely ridiculous. I will never do business with them, period. Tony is right, word of mouth is powerful. They really sent a powerful message to the collecting community and it wasn't a positive one. They are the only ones damaging their reputation and business.

Re: Historic Denial?????
Eric-
A fellow co-worker sent Historic an email seeking specific info on one jersey that appears to be extremely suspect.
There is no way that this individual is connected to GUU, or is trying to reach their site via GUU.
It's been well over 24 hours, and no response has been received.
A class act.

Re: Historic Denial?????
I received an email from James Brown from Historic Auctions offering to re-send activation if I was having problems logging in.
I appreciate Mr. Brown's offer and would love to log back in to get my questions answered.
It was nice to hear from Mr. Brown who has yet to respond to my emails about Historic's auction policy or even questions about items in their previous auction and undisclosed conflicts of interest.
Perhaps now we can get those answers and the others we're looking for.
I'll keep you all posted.
