You explained to him the differences in grading companies and how it wasn't worth what it should be due to the holder, then let him make an offer based on your info telling him it wasn't that valuable, but you wouldn't do that in your own auction knowing that there is another "Clown" out there to buy the card thinking it is a high grade Mantle when we know it isn't. So I am missing the point here. You dare to complain about a service yet you turn around and use it in your favor to dupe someone.
If I am wrong in my views I would love for someone to try and help me see what I am missing here and owe the OP an apology. I just keep seeing a contradiction here. Am I the only one?
BTW if you have an issue with my kids touching "112 yr old cards" your the seemingly unstable one. If you want to sue me please PM me or just say so and I will post my address and times I will be home for you to deliver the summons.

I'm not suing anyone, but I've read the forums for a while and recall you've had that problem when dealing with other posters, in one case to the point where one was threatening to sue you (actually your answer is the same one as you gave last time). Maybe you should examine your approach to dealing with others.
I wasn't bragging about a great deal on a Mantle (I don't think I got a great deal, I got a fair one which has yet to pan out so there would be nothing to brag about if I was inclined to do so). I certainly didn't tell him a '56 Mantle wasn't valuable, I did explain that to me as a buyer a BCCG 9 wasn't the same as a PSA or SCG 9 (I thought it might be a 7 or possibly an 8, but also noted I gave up trying to figure out the grading companies a long time ago. That's probably why I personally mostly collect raw cards. Anyway the seller was free to do as he pleased after reviewing all the information including a graded price guide on hand, he elected to name a price for which he wanted cash. People sell their cards for a lot of different reasons, and in this case since this seller also buys cards from me, I'd have to guess it's because he wanted to do something different with his collection, but I have no idea.
And if I want to refer to Mr. Mint as a clown for selling a BCCG 9 as a PSA 9 (on top of a lot of other things over the years), that's my business. And if I want to see what other collectors think of Beckett offering two very different services, that's also my business, I ought to be able to do that without your misguided harassment.
No one's duping anyone here, with the possible exception of you duping yourself into some imaginary issue alongside your inability to let something go when it's obvious you've added facts not in evidence.
I don't want any apology, so don't waste your time bothering to solicit opinions that would lead you to one. Here's what I do want: I thought you were going to block me so you couldn't see my posts and I can't see yours, can you go ahead and do so?
