I concur with this. Not really sure why people called him out. Here's a big problem I see with this, other than the fact that the initial respondent calling out this promoter for using an eBay auction that included two OOP sets that are collector's items at this point - as there is, I assume, no plan to reprint them, is that we don't know if the promoter listing them paid for them from someone else. With the secondhand purchasing of cards that has picked up steam here over the last 18 months, whose to say that the seller wasn't just trying to get back what he put into them. I mean think of the prices we have seen on eBay. Theatre of Pain, two cards, B&W for COTG, were listed and sold for over $78 with shipping and tax. Nine months ago they were still available on the FG website, you just had to email Todd and he could tell you they were available. Cost: $4 plus shipping and tax, so less than $10. Again, the OP may have just been trying to make his money back on the sets that he purchased, not realizing that Grant sends them out for free. It's moot now, the promoter pulled the auction, but again, he shouldn't have had to, especially since the first two sets, which were sold on FG and are long since OOP, were well worth the price. To be as transparent as possible I would buy theatre of pain for that price. Right now if they were available Email todd@filsingergames.com. He may have them in stock, along with other SE/LE B&W cards (Kati, Halcon Oro, Varsity and Sabre). I am saying you could possibly get all of them for like $20 shipped and with tax.

The lot of cards includes the first two official CWFH sets, both out of print and considered collectors items. Well worth the OP’s asking price. All the unofficial free boots and free LOW cards made this a steal. I concur with this. Not really sure why people called him out.

Yes, I bought the first two sets secondhand from another promoter here and was just trying to recoup those costs. After giving the Galactical exclusives away to demon bunny, I still have the OOP sets if folks want to make an offer for them.

I don't feel shamed at all you didn't read my post very well. I wasn't calling for his auction to be pulled. I was asking for it to be changed. He had free cards that were given to him for free, for sale. That is not okay ever in my book. I even mentioned in the post that he should take those out and put in the LOW cards in its place he was offering as a bonus. Filsinger games as far as I know has not come down on it. But profitting on the back of someone else's idea always bugged me. Grant would probably tell me to calm down as he is a good dude and this is all to do about nothing. I'm not a good dude, I wanted to fight on his behalf without asking him. Guess that puts me in a similar boat. I should have minded my own business. Sorry this little rant has gained traction. It's computers man........COTG wrestling rules!!

It's computers man........COTG wrestling rules!! A good portion of those bootlegs cards I actually bought second hand from the same promoter here as a lot but it's all a matter of perception apparently. It's moot though; those cards are en route to the UK now. All these cards were doubles anyway; I was just trying to move them all in one lot since I'm moving and didn't see the need to haul unneeded cards to our next location.
