Posted By: <b>John</b><p>Nice card just some toning I would guess..<br><br><br>I would have bid if the seller hadn't banned me from his auctions...LOL<br><br>Because you'll ask here's the story...<br><br>The seller only originally took checks, a check of mine was lost and didn't get to him I was in Asia at the time. So once I was made aware I DHL'ed him a check overnight only to find out DHL didn't deliver to PO boxes. I emailed him and said please give me another address the check is in your neck of the woods I can have DHL drop it off anywhere.<br><br>He declined....so the check came back to me. No down close 40$ shipping to get a guy a check for a less than $70 card I had to re-mail him a check. The seller was actually quite rude and pushy about the whole thing I thought. But I let it go even gave him good feedback he never gave me feedback at all.<br><br>In fact I think Scott Levy emailed me and we both had problems getting him payments, now I see he takes PayPal. I only noticed I was banned when I went to bid and eBay prompted me with a &quot;the seller has blah blah blah from his auctions&quot; I emailed him to ask why he never responded...I thought this all was very laughable. <br><br>I guess business is good enough he doesnt need any extra bids etc. <br><br>Kudos to him no hard feelings I'm sure he's a stand up guy etc...<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Scot</b><p><br>I find it curious that the card has huge borders, yet doesn't fill the holder. Most of my T206s with big borders fill the PSA holder completely. Can somebody post a scan of another Shag for comparison's sake?

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p> Here's a few more big borders....<br><br><br><img src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q257/hogan6g/Scan0015-13-1.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><br><br><br><br>My scanner sucks... And I lack Wonka's talent, but the raw card does have slightly more area, so I guess the registration was a bit off that day.<br><br> Be well Brian<br><br>PS I have seen this only quite a few Piedmont 350's...<br><br>PS The card still looks funny to me and I would pass... And I'm pretty sure I haven't been banned yet.<br><br><br><br>

Posted By: <b>John</b><p>Brian don't mention Adam or I or you'll be banned for sure....<br><br>Love big border cards, funny thing I used to have quite a few of these also P350 traded most all of them away cause I thought they looked funny.<br><br>Now I kind of like them and wish I had them back....Great cards Brian..<br><br>P.S. Brian you can always send me all your cards and I'll scan them for you I could be like the Kevin S. of card scanning...let's start with that Red Hindu Johnson of yours...I should have a good scan too you in say 10-20yrs.<br><br><br><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/piojohn3/collection/t206settrial/websize/batch1.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br>

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br> Hi John,<br><br> Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm going to buy a new scanner and take a few lessons from you....<br><br><br><br> Be well Brian <br><br><br><br><br><br> PS I've got about 80 of these monster borders and about 90% of them are Piedmont 350's... <br><br> PS I could never sell my Johnson....<br><br>

Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>Guys, what could be wrong with it? It is in a PSA holder. What could be wrong with that?

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br> Hi John,<br> I threw you a 3-0 85mph fastball right down the middle and it took you longer to hit it out than I thought....<br><br> Be well Brian<br><br><br>PS I threw you one earlier, but I think the coach gave you the take signal.

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>I think the card is fine. It looks like it is missing a blue layer of ink. Compare the &quot;R&quot;s on the uniform. As for filling the PSA case, it may actually be in a larger holder than the standard T206. They finally developed a slightly larger one for E cards; they replaced the much loved condom holders used previously.<br>JimB

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br> Hi Jim,<br> I agree with you about the holder, but I still don't like the card....<br> Why would you ban some of the most knowledgeable T206 collectors from bidding in your auctions???? Red flag for me...<br><br><br> Be well Brian<br>

Posted By: <b>John</b><p>He banned knowledgeable T206 collectors, and Adam and I unreal! LOL<br><br>Not all P350 are big borders I traded this card away to Bill Mastro back in the 80s. It was P150 and had really big borders. Not sure whatever happened to the card. I thought Id get another one with normal borders doen the road. Now I wish I kept the card as I still need him to complete the set.<br><br><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/piojohn3/junkforumimages/small/Untitled-2.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br>Bill did call me a few weeks later with a much nicer one with perfect borders but it was too much money...oh well live and learn<br>

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br> Hi John,<br> You get Sirius and XM for the same price....But the undercoating will cost you something... North of the Mason-Dixon.<br><br> Be well Brian<br><br><br>PS That Cobb/EPDG would look better in my collection than yours...
