1938 Goudey Proof

Rob:

With all due respect, you found this thread a month ago. It contained all the proof necessary to make it clear that these "cards" were phony.

The expert who graded these cards disassociated himself with them without giving you any information whatsoever, which should really be all you needed.

On the 14th, you were asking this forum if you should go back to Global and ask for your money back, and on the 30th you were leaving positive feedback for the seller (4 days after Tom posted the scan of the magazine cutouts).

At some point between December 14 and December 30, you decided that all the expertise on this board was incorrect, and that the card was good enough to leave positive feedback for the seller. What changed your mind?

In the first place I do have a life and am not on this board very minute of my life like some of you guys. Second I did not see the picture of the scrapbook until today again my fault that I was not watching every move on this subject but had to pull myself away so I could busy myself with my family. As for the positive feedback you can see all I put was interesting card. Some of the people here did have doubts about it. Some thought it might be real but today when I saw it in the scrapbook I knew for sure it was fake. So you must forgive me for not getting on here more often. But I contacted pay pal and they reopened the case and they said that they were looking into the one he has up now. If the person that has that scrapbook could possibly put up another picture but with the whole page I would appreciate that greatly. Rob

Rob, I think you're misunderstanding me.

I'm not asking what happened between December 30 and today.

I'm asking what happened between December 14, when you were on this forum asking where you should go to get your money back, and December 30, when you left positive feedback for the seller.

On the 14th you were convinced the card was bad.

On the 30th you left positive feedback.

Something changed your mind in that 16-day period. What was it?

I ask because feedback stating "THIS CARD IS A FAKE" might have prevented others from bidding on the next ones that the seller has offered. He's put a total of four on eBay now, knowing each one was a fake.

Instead, there's positive feedback, which doesn't warn potential bidders.

So I'm curious as to what made you decide that the cards might be real?

PS - For the record, I DON'T have a life, but I'm still not on this board every minute of it. Sometimes I look at porn.
