Posted By: BrianExpectation or not -- there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for a return. Certainly after arrangements are suggested and agreed -- there is absolutely nothing wrong with expecting someone to keep their word.

Posted By: Dan Koteleswe all can miss one here or there, but when you constantly boast that you are one of the "MAIN" pricers in the price guides ,how is it that you can price a card when you cant even tell the problem with the card. I just can imagine the phone call- hey Brian ,we urgently need you to price this card ,OKAY, Iam here for you, "oh wee". iam needed again ! Here goes McQUillen nm 1500 McQUillen em 875 McQuillen e+ 695 McQUillen e 500 McQUillen vgx 365 McQuillen vg 270 McQuillen g+ 190 McQUillen g 100 McQUillen f+ 42 McQuillen f 32 McQuillen p+ 27 McQuillen p 19 McQuillen ca 2..............ca, means COLOR ADDED ! You are more then enough expierienced to know these differences on cards. You should just say, buy ungraded at your own risk, I will not be responsible, and that should be good enough.

Posted By: joeDavid Vargha. I sure wish you were my seller. I bought a counterfeit T205 Ty Cobb from ebay id TXSM, Brooks Newell, San Antonio Texas in 2001. I sent it to SGC and it came back counterfeit, took about 1 month. He would not return my money said 1 month was to long. I called him on the phone and he told me I probably switched the card. He also told me he submitted the card to SGC and he was not satisfied with the grade and removed it from the holder. This is his description: The card offered is the T205 Gold Border of Tyrus cobb with Piedmont back. The card has **no creases**no pinholes** or paper loss. Top two corners are sharp the bottom two are lightly touched but come to points as seen on back of scan there is a small amount of border chipping on the bottom of card or it would grade much higher, the back is clean but has age toning. I will furnish larger scanson request as I know these tend to be hazy. Please email questions. buyer to pay S&H in SCD 2000 is $4250 my reserve is less than SCD ex which is $1800. Good Luck. I contacted EBAY, United States Post Office for fraud, nothing. Don't laugh but I contacted the Judge Judy show as a last resort, no result. This was an expensive lesson $1185.00. I made a mistake and posted positive feedback when I received the card. I still have the card, and the ebay listings and any other correspondense from this disaster. Anyway lots of venting, but great pitching for the Tigers today again. Joe Ty Cobb, Spikes flying!

Posted By: DRUnless the terms 'sold as is' are stipulated waiting 2 or 3 months for a return is not something I would request but not as unreasonable as granting a refund and then refusing to accept via USPS. This is unconscinable and for this reason alone will NEVER buy from Brian Cataquet. eBay sellers, dealers and collectors should be responsible for their own written words. This hobby at times really bums me out. I just recently had to file a FBI hate crimes report on a frequent poster. If we must buy ungraded cards at our own risk (taking the word of opportunists - concealing information for ones own gain), card prices will plummet. This scenario is why PSA is a profitable publicly traded company. Not everyone is a card expert and to some degree must accept someone else's opinion of the condition of cards. I would not say PSA is the always trustworthy but after reading this thread, I would much rather trust them over Brian and his supporters.

Posted By: DJI have learned one thing and that some people aren't cut out for retail. They talk a good game and have a big briefcase full of cash, but when it comes to customer service, they don't know how to treat people in the right light. They would rather ruin their reputation with this kind of behavior instead of doing what's right. Very funny myspace page and Wonka is the Lichtenstein of the VBCForum! Keep up the good work artiste'! More importantly, why is David's font constantly in blue? DJ

Posted By: DylanI didnt read every post but I think that when selling a raw vintage card of value you have to state some refund conditions. If i were selling it i would guarantee the card is authentic but perhaps go no further then that. Card is sold "as is" unless found to be counterfeit. Or state that card is authentic and gradeable and state that refund will be given if its deemed not by a legit 3rd party grader. Either sell as is and risk taking a lower profit or offer a refund under reasonable conditions and get higher bids. Its up to the seller, but most of all be clear in your refund policy. And obviously if you are going to offer a refund dependent on graders opinion you must give the buyer a reasonable amount of time to submit the card to a grading company. I think by being clear about your selling policy these types of disputes, for the most part, can be avoided

Posted By: David VarghaDJ, the color of my posts is determined by what computer I post from. I am now posting from my kids' computer. That means that the post should be red. I just wanted to check what the settings are if I post from my wife's computer. I'm back at my computer now. This is all very interesting indeed. DavidVargha@hotmail.com
