MLB network reporting that the police say no foul play and no suicide...so suicide ruled out

This is unfortunate, people do it with every sports death, it is pathetic.

At a loss for words right now.

It's also sickening that they all attempt to condone their actions by adding "RIP" at the end of their listings.

ilovethelakings · 07-01-2019, 06:07 PM

Wow. Just wow. RIP, Mr. Skaggs.

imbluestreak23 · 07-01-2019, 06:08 PM

Such sad news. Far too young

Wow!

wow indeed

Here we go with the unethical selling comments. And no, I don't think I've owned a Skaggs card but I kind of want to now...hmmmm, wonder if that's why people buy?

How long is the respectful period before selling his cards?

jdandns · 07-01-2019, 06:21 PM

Adenhart and Kile have been mentioned, and I also remember finding out the great Drysdale was gone this same way.

Rest in peace, Tyler. Condolences to his family, friends and the Angels.

Here's a card of Vlad celebrating Adenhart while wearing his number 34 (in black). The Halos will wear Skaggs' 45 for the rest of this season. Sad, sad news.

Exactly! I'm sorry, but I had an Ernie Banks signed rookie sell at a high price that sold because he unfortunately passed that day. I got the auto IP, hence the high tag because I didn't really want to sell, but if my price was reached why not.

The prices on COMC seem to still be solid. Doesn't look like too many taking advantage as of yet.

Chicharito · 07-01-2019, 06:27 PM

I have a 2013 Tier one auto of his and I would like to send it to someone who really collect him/ the Angles or appreciate the card. If you want the card I want you to donate some $ to charities ( any amount is fine and you don’t have to send proofs, just be honest) upon receiving the card. If anyone is interested please pm me.

His hometown newspaper is indicating it was a Cocaine Overdose, indicating it has inside information of cocaine scattered through out his hotel room. Kinda classless IMO of writing this.

I haven't looked at a whole lot but the legitimate autos don't seem to be outrageously priced. The IP autos though? I can see how those could be questioned.

Should be immediately fired for that article.

I pulled a Skaggs auto out of Stadium Club last week, tried to sell in a lot last week and no one bid, have no interest of listing the card, probably give it away to the guy in cooperstown i give my commons and low end stuff to.

Even if it turns out to be true?

Seems like femtanyl-laced drugs would be more likely than just overdose anyways

Welp, that will take out a majority if not all my respect/sympathy towards him. But atm I wouldn't rush to decisions before hearing words from the police/team etc,.

Yes. It is irresponsible at this point, especially with no listed corroboration or confirmation. You can even tell by the way it is written that there is speculation in it. But welcome to the gotcha century full of click bait and waiver of all responsibility.

It reads like they talked to a cop or EMT at the scene that couldn't/wouldn't make an official statement.

Exactly.

It could be true. 27 year olds just don't die without help usually.

We have seen this far too many times to just say... oh it's natural causes.
