@ A1, we love collecting as much as you do !
Hi everyone,
I was hoping that this issue would stay low key for a number of reasons but considering that it is now in the open I would like to shine some light on this disturbing story.....
Roughly 6 months ago, this card was stolen from a local collector
While quite a few people were sure it was a particular local collector that had stolen it, we could not prove it
The end result of this card being stolen was that a real champion collector decided to give it all up
To cut a long story short, 2 weeks ago Shannon (bogutjordan) contacted me with a story that he had picked up the KG in question.
Due to the nature of the situation I tried to play it cool saying that I looked forward to hearing more.
Then on the 28th of Feb he had the audacity to bring the stolen card into the shop. Since the first theft I had HD CCTV installed that also has audio and luckily i got some nice audio of him acknowledging that it was the exact card that was stolen last year.
For some reason he also told me he was looking at trading it to a member here on Ozcard ! It must have been my lucky day because he even said the username.
I contacted the member that he mentioned and it was confirmed that he had offered a KG logoman. Trying to gather more evidence I asked about any pictures that he might have of the logoman ! Instead of sending through a photo like he did on HK, he was directing the Ozcard member (possibly others) to view the card on my website which was featured because it was the first MOJO busted at the shop. I have since had to removed the picture there
Since the 28th of Feb, I was informed that he also sold a KG logoman on HK a month earlier
This member is also the same guy that charged one of my customers 2 x book value for Michael Beasley cards (I posted a thread here which some of you may remember) I am still shocked at some responses to that one
So here it is Shannon, I am going to give you until the end of the day tomorrow to return this stolen card and money to replace any others that you have stolen from other trade days !!! I have copied footage from every trade day
if I do not hear from you, I will be making an official report to the Gosnells police first thing Monday morning with all the proof that I now have !
I can't believe you have done this and you will forever be tainted in the hobby
Well done for wrecking the fun for others
If you want to know who to look out for, here is a pic taken in the shop in the early days
