I was somehow added to the "Cracker Jack Collective" Facebook Group maybe a year or two ago.

On Friday I posted a picture of my 1915 Mathewson with no comments just to show it off to the group. I immediately get a PM from this guy Paul Fowler asking if it's for sale. I log in today and respond back saying no I'm just sharing it. Minutes later I see that my post has been accepted by the admin.

I thought that was strange and looked the guy up and what do you know he's the sole admin. It seemed shady that this guy is out here cherry picking cards in a room of 600+ collectors (many of whom are good buddies of mine).

I messaged him (politely) asking if he was waiting until I responded to approve the post and in true keyboard warrior fashion he talked a bunch of crap and blocked me (from a group I couldn't care less about).

But this is my problem with 99.9% of Facebook Groups. They are pure dictatorships and if you ask the wrong question you're banned and no one hears about the corruption.

Leon runs a tight ship and keeps scammers out but also lets people have open and transparent conversations so we are all informed of good (and bad) places to discuss + transact cards.
