Norman Showers
 
Does anyone know this guy who sells on eBay as finds2life? He sold me an ‘E96 Proof Donovan’ card. I just got it back from SGC because they said it was neither an E96 or a proof. He refused my request for a return through eBay but I have contacted PayPal because they have a 180 day coverage policy.
I might mention he has listed 3 or 4 more ‘E96 proofs’ on eBay so be careful.

If it is the same Norm Showers I bought a raw NRMT+ T205 Cobby from him, when grading wasn't as prevalent, and sent it in and it came back recolored. I had to take $3500 in over valued cards of his, I didn't want, back as a refund. I think he worked at a prison and lived at home...or lived at the prison as a guard or something weird. I don't know him well at all and haven't communicated with him in since that last deal. We had done a few before that. Good luck....

This one of the pictures cut from the notebook covers that were images of E95 and E96 cards, I'm guessing?

That’s my guess. Apparently I know more than the head grader st SGC when it comes to caramel cards because he thought it was skinned. Lol. I told SGC I felt like it was cut from a notebook cover. I think it’s probably worth only about $20 as a novelty.

Wow that sucks. Sorry to hear. How is a guy like this still sticking it to people after all of these years?

These are 100% the E95/E96 notebook covers, not proofs. These have been on eBay for a while, I think I even let the seller know what they are but apparently he didn't change anything. These used to belong to a board member.

if that's what they are, they are "worth" more than $20 each

Norman Showers sounds a lot like Oklahoma rain to me.

"Norman Showers" sounds like a scene from Psycho.

Or something they had at Hastings.
