OPINION - Stealing Scans & Flat Out THEFT!

LIVID!!!  SEETHING!!!  I am choked and I will not - I REPEAT - NOT let this go lightly.

I apologize in advance if my post today seems a little terse.  I received some information today that has left me very.....very bitter.


Earlier today, I was conversing with a fellow hobbyists via e-mail and the other person simply asked about a person on a hobby card board.  He was asking me if I knew of this person, if I had dealt with this person and if this person was on the up and up.

The reason for the questions.....

This post.  Made by someone named 'sidthekid87', it shows off a rather nice Kris Versteeg patch/tag card /2.  He states that he "has this for you" meaning he is "selling" it.  He's even got a price listed next to the card.

Seems harmless enough right?  Well, the person I was e-mailing with remembered that I had a copy of that card (good memory).

Here's my blog post from January.  It shows off the exact same card.  I picked it up in a trade (swapping the /2 in my 1 vs. 100 project for the Versteeg).  Here's the whole blog post.

Well, I can assure you that the card is still in my possession and is not going anywhere soon.

Sadly, someone might end up being the victim of this guy's scam.  Selling cards that he clearly does not own and does not have.

And just so there is no doubt in anyone's mind.....here this.

Take a close look 'sidthekid87'.  See the date on the screen.  Take a look at the date of your post.

End of discussion.


START OF RANT!!!!!!!

'sidthekid87'........where do you get off pulling crap like that!!!

note: I'm going to be good about following my own "no swearing" rule on this blog.  But rest assured.....I'm letting the colorful metaphors fly right now.

You have the nerve to steal one of MY SCANS and claim it as your own?

How dare you!!!!   HOW......DARE.......YOU!!!!!!!!

'sidthekid87'.......you know where you can go and you know what you can do when you get there.

And make no mistake.....I am coming after you!  I will make sure that you are not only exposed as a fraud and a thief on Blowout Cards, I will make sure that your name is smeared throughout all the hobby boards I know.  I refuse to sit back and let you try and rip people off.  Rip off decent people who are looking to get enjoyment out of this hobby.

'sidthekid87'.......your name is dirt!  And I will make sure that you are swept up and thrown out.

MARK.......MY.......WORD!

OUT!!!!!!

You have taken a hobby that I love and enjoy.  Taken a hobby where I have met dozens of great people.  Taken a community that I cherish and have made it a lot less fun today.

And I am NOT ok with that!

Enjoy what little time you have left on the hobby boards.

Screw you 'sidthekid87'.........screw you!
