MWBob,
I encourage you to stay. As I wrote above, I have always had pleasant experiences doing business with you and I would NOT HESITATE to purchase more vintage material from you in the future. In fact, I would trust your opinion about many vintage cards more than I would trust the opinions of many so-called hobby "experts." That being said, I'm not trying to make a judgment about this particular situation because I just don't know enough about it.
Also, please keep in mind that there are some in the hobby who have attempted (and still attempt) to paint a MUCH WORSE picture of me than anyone here has painted of you. If anything, that has made me MORE aware of customers and encouraged me to work EVEN HARDER to satisfy those who choose to do business with me. Just like there will always be that PSA customer who becomes upset with me if I want "full SMR" for a well-centered 1954 Bowman Mickey Mantle because I'm hesitant to break a complete 1954 Bowman Baseball Set (true story), I'm sure that there will always be some who will question how you grade cards. But that's the nature of this hobby. Two different hobbyists might look at the exact same situation, yet come to completely different conclusions about what transpired.
I encourage you to stay, Bob. I've always appreciated your great sense of humor and I believe that you have much to contribute.
