Posted By: <b>Bill Cornell</b><p>Hey Leon - <BR><BR>Anyone brave enough to deny vendomecat is due for a Greater Reward down the road - that guy is like the '85 Bears of bidders. Excuse me while I go write "Blome's" on the back of all my cards...

Posted By: <b>David</b><p>Leon, on a tangent .... In one of the older MastroNet auctions, when you would type in your bid, I accidentally added an extra digit to my bid with about 10 minutes left ... I was sweating it out, but luckly no one bid in the last couple of minutes. I suspect MastroNet changed the bidding system as others had similar experiences.

Posted By: <b>James/jverri01</b><p><BR>Mike is a serious collector and a phenomenal person.<BR><BR>I am more than happy to speak positively about him. I have every reason to. We have completed numerous transactions, and he is ALWAYS fast to pay. A number of the transactions we've done have been for several thousand dollars, so, I cannot imagine anyone ever having trouble with him.<BR><BR>He's a great person to know.<BR><BR>James Verrill<BR>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>My luck I would put it back on ebay and it WOULD BRING $375.00.....I am the worst friggin (@you) dealer in the world......oh well....at least I have fun .....sort of.....would be nice to win one (good buy) once in a while.....but no....then I would break my streak.....even the stock market is starting to sound good to me....but, at least if I make a mistake on an $800 card it isn't as bad as a mistake on a a really expensive card....always amazes me to se e those PSA 8 Ruth's go so high....I mean you could spend 20k on one, consign it, and get 15k....that would be a bummer.........regards all
