To add to this, he contacted multiple larger sellers in the hobby during the gold star bubble. When he made his rounds to me, he tried offloading them for “a clean €100,000”. I love how he said “clean”, when he was literally selling stolen goods. The best is when he dropped this gem, “for all we know the value of unseen forces gold stars could double in 3 years”… Well here we are, about 3 years later, and they are a third of their value from 2014.
I don’t think you can put the genie back in the bottle with this situation. The fact these cards left the factory is the problem. Sure it is better they are with a business rather than the epitome of a flipper. However, the pop report is already bloated. Anyone with any knowledge of the situation doesn’t even look at these cards anymore. The guy single handedly ruined the English gold star dogs. It is such a shame this situation occurred.
