Posted By: <b>Donald Johnson</b><p>Hello,<br /><br />I'd just like to write about what a great guy Barry Sloate is. I don't remember if you read a thread about a month ago about a SGC 60 T206 Cobb that I had purchased from Ebay:<br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1178368679/Burned+on+Fake+T206+Cobb+in+SGC+Holder" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1178368679/Burned+on+Fake+T206+Cobb+in+SGC+Holder</a><br />To make a long story short, the seller, either on purpose (or inadvertantly) sold me a laser copied Cobb that was inserted into a real SGC holder.<br /><br />As part of the appeals process to Paypal, a letter from an expert in Vintage cards was required. Barry was nice enough to take the time to write the letter free of charge.<br /><br />After a month and half, I glad to say that I finally got my refund from Paypal!<br /><br />Thanks Barry!

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Carefully split it open, removed the good card, slid in a copy, and somehow resealed it. What a guy!

Posted By: <b>Steve f</b><p>"I woke up one morning and looked around the room. Something wasn't right. I realized that someone had broken in the night before and replaced everything in my apartment with an exact replica. I couldn't believe it...I got my roommate and showed him. I said, "Look at this--everything's been replaced with an exact replica!" He said, "Do I know you?" -Steven Wright<br /><br /><br />Great news Don. Barry WTG!

Posted By: <b>Jim Dale</b><p>Did the seller admit to this? Did the seller think he was selling an authentic card? Why does the seller still have a perfect feed back?
