Dr.Koos...on this one. It was auctioned on Ebay, 2.2 years ago by one of E-Nets handles (forget which one). I had no idea that a SLABBED, Professionally graded card, could be altered. I thought that there was a measure of safety in buying a card that was already slabbed, over buying raw, and submitting it yourself. It was the FIRST SLABBED CARD I EVER PURCHASED. I had to OFFER it, as it WAS OFFERED TO ME, to get an accurate read to be referenced AGAINST what I paid, thinking that the card was 100% legit ($12.5K). Not having ANY type of receipt, and having FIVE people associated with E-Net present at my purchase, I needed to establish that the card would be worth AT LEAST what I CLAIMED to have paid (just as I paid for WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN UNALTERED CARD). To find out what an altered card is worth, stated as such, in a Pro Holder, would have done me no good whatsoever, as I was NOT armed with that info when I shelled out all that Cash, and knowing that in advance would have NOT purchased it. There was NO INTEREST in establishing WHAT the card WOULD go for today beyond $12.5K, just to see if the card would acheive $15K which was the goal figure determined, not by me, to support my claim of it being "a card that I paid $12,500 for", allowing for, what was decided on, to be a 20% margin of error (possible reneggers/disengenuous bids). The circumstances HAD to be duplicated as closely as possible as they were when I saw the auction, and later bought the card cash, in person. Maybe YOU can possibly explain this to the cranial gimp and the parasitic chimp (RunScott and Brueso)in binary code. I fear that guttural groans and grunts may be the only way to communicate with them. I've tried every other alternative.
