Brad seems to do a lot of business here without issue... maybe his offer was a typo.

Buzz off dude?
I am only asking logical questions.
Leon said he was a member here. Pencil1974.

And, don’t send me PM’s. Just post of here.

You gave his eBay name, so I guessed it happened there.

Inspector Cluso. And if you would quit typing and click the link I added above you would find Brad's profile.

Ive conducted NUMEROUS transactions with Brad over the years and never had any issues. 10% of the price of something means one less zero. Is it possible he missed a zero?

Takes a lot of balls to come on here and call Brad a scam artist. Brad is 100% legit. I think you should report your concern to Eric.

You should see the PM’s he is sending me.

I only asked a question, now I have offended him.

And won’t post it on here for all to see.

Bryan, I won’t “ fetch” it. If you won’ t provide details, well, ok then. It is your issue to deal with.

Sorry guys this our friend Toppsaholic being a dick. What was his name, Mitch or Matt or Mike, he had several of them.

He's a bit touched and not in a good way. So if you look at the guy who is talking and just put Toppsaholics name in his place I think we have wiener.

Hope they ban this guy. Better yet, I hope this thread is deleted so future google searches of Brad's name don't turn up this nonesense.

As for the libel lawsuit Brad, I'm pretty sure suing Toppsaholic would be fruitless since he probably lives in his mom's basement. At best you can garnish a couple of Phish albums, an old bong, and his bicycle.

Ok its one thing to be a bully behind the scenes, which what ever I'm cool with. But straight up on the headline is pretty ballsy lol.

Was he banned from here or did he stick around?

I guess my other question is who is Brian Taylor? Shill, real person, if its a tough guy attitude, wants to fight about anything, then thats just Topps again. He gets angry quick, and probably turns green too.

I just called Bryan Taylor's phone number on file. His voice mail picked up and he said it was him. My guess is that is this person's name. We can take it further if need be ..I wouldn't put it by a good scammer to have a fake voicemail set up. It's not that difficult. IF this OP doesn't come back and deal with it then the thread can be dealt with on it's own, I wouldn't want a troll slamming someone and having it on our board for searches. We'll see how it goes.

I have done deals with Brad - big boy deals - and have never had an issue. I am hoping this is just miscommunication/ a mix up.

No miscommunication, I have no idea who Bryan is. A few of us have it figured out be a friend of Topps or Topps himself. Once the Libel word got tossed around though he sort of calmed down....

I am not toppsaholic but I'm glad to see word of my post travels fast ! Amazed all these people here saying PENCIL is a good guy to deal with them how is he offering me a 20000 card for 2000?
People are telling me it's fake

My name is Bryan not Mitch and I am not joking about this matter. I guess I should post his correspondence? And a pic ?
Will u still doubt me then ?
This guy already sold this card once now it has reappeared I found old threads HERE ! WOW

ooh, i love Big Boy deals. the best is when they give you a free piece of pie with the purchase of an entree.

of course, the pie isn't really free. Big Boy makes it up with the buyer premium.

Bryan, I assure you that every one of us would change our position if you post convincing proof. None of us want scammers in our hobby. But please, don't just talk about the smoking gun: show it to us.

I'm interested to see it just to see his Photoshop skills. Since I use Photoshop at work I'm a bit critical but its what I get paid to do.
