CyI've had two experiences with Mr. Craik. I bought an E95 Wagner that looked VG on his website. So I agreed to buy it and paid a VG price for it. If I sent this card to be graded, it wouldn't have a prayer at getting a PSA 2, not a chance.
I mentioned this to him and he said he didn't take returns but he would give me a refund to make things right. It wasn't a refund that would bring the cost down to a Poor grade Wagner. It was very minor.
Then I won a graded card on ebay from him that was stated to have no marks, a clean front. It turned out that there was a pencil marking on the card. It was totally unnoticeable on the scan. I contacted him and his E-mail wasn't friendly and he stated that the auction said no returns on graded cards. But I insisted. I told him that he stated that there were no marks so he misrepresented the card. And just like in this case, he deducted the ebay fees and the shipping cost from my refund.
But it isn't over. Then he placed the card back on ebay. I know that he could have had his ebay fees returned from ebay because our transaction didn't finish. I am not sure that he did this but he's a sharp business man. You figure. If he did, he was double-dipping in that fee.
The next week after he received the card back from me, he placed it on ebay with the same scan that didn't show the mark, same statement that there were no marks. The card sold.
Jerry, I believe you 100%.
