i have permission from Ryan to put his answer
Ernesto,
Thank you for your message. I appreciate your gesture of good will. All I ask is that you remove my name from the eBay listing. I would not be interested in buying the cards for myself, nor would I be interested in selling them as I am still not confident about their authenticity. I have not called eBay yet today. Since you sent this message, I will not be calling them. I am glad, because this is something I was really hoping I wouldn't have to do. I am not trying to ruin your business, even though you do damage to mine when you imply that I have endorsed cards that might not be real. My reputation, professionally, is important to me. It's one thing to attack me personally. It's very different went you start impacting my professional reputation, and that is what you did by putting my name in your ebay auction. That's why I was so angry about it.
It has always been about whether or not the cards are real. I wish I had the opportunity to look at the cards in person. I don't need you to end your auction or send me the cards, especially since there is already a bidder. But perhaps you could let the winning bidder know that I would very much like to view them in person. In fact, I would be willing to pay a small amount for that opportunity. If they are real, I think it's fantastic and would like for them to known as real. I never said they were fake. I've only been saying I have many doubts about them. I do think it's very possible they are real.
So, thank you for your message. Hopefully we can treat each other more respectfully moving forward.
-Ryan
