jay behrensFrank, sounds like a typical Mr Mint stunt. He ran an ad around 1987 or 88 buying Wheaties panels for a crazy amount. I offered him my complete collection of Wheaties on entire boxes. He told me he wasn't interested because he had already bought all the wheaties that he needed. ETF? No way he as many complete boxes as I did. That's when I figured out the scam. He bought cards on the cheap. Ran an ad with an insane buy price, then used those buy prices to justify his sale prices. I never once was able to sell a card to him because he always happened to have bought as many cards as he wanted at that point. hmmmmmmm

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
