    Quality Comix vs. Greg Jortner - Important Information For The Community

    in Comics General

    Posted

    Hello Boardies,

     

    I felt I needed to respond to this because the Sparkle City name is now being brought into question. I hope I can provide some insight.

     

    Before the recent timely bump, the last post in this thread was nearly 5 years ago. Greg joined Sparkle City almost 3 years ago. In the time between this thread and his hiring by SC, Greg worked with/for multiple large dealers and some high profile and respected boardies.

     

    Please let us know who these people are, so we can judge for ourselves if they are "respected". For all I know, you might think Doug Schmell is a respected dealer.

     

    When I started to consider working with Greg he provided current references and was given the stipulation that his past issues would have to be resolved. To my knowledge, they all were (if you have unresolved issue, please contact me directly and I would be happy to mediate). The issue with Brent was resolved in approx. 2008/09 when he was paid in full plus interest. The details outlined in this thread regarding that situation represent some of the facts, not all of them.

     

    Then please set the record straight and tell us the missing facts.

     

    Perhaps one of Greg's biggest mistakes was not responding to this thread when it first happened. The information in this thread is incomplete at best. This is not to say that Greg acted as I would have or allow in the scope of my business in some of these cases, but to my knowledge not all information here is accurate

     

    Then please set the record straight with accurate information.

     

    and everything has been resolved, most were years before he joined us. In a hobby where we have dealers who have been proven (not simply alleged) to shill their own auctions, embezzle funds, swap out books, peddle Frankenstein books and exploit gaps in CGC grading as well as use strong arm tactics Greg certainly is not the most evil man in comics.

     

    :facepalm:

     

    Keep in mind that there is always more to a story than you may know.

     

    Then please take this opportunity to set the record straight.

     

    Anyone who has dealt with Sparkle City, with Me or with Greg in the past 3 years can hopefully provide some relevant feedback as to the professionalism, service and integrity of the Sparkle City Comics organization.

     

    When I read the kind of feedback I've read in this thread from people like Steve Borock, Mark Zaid, and Blazing Bob, I tend to believe them a bit more than a person's employer.
