BOTNI will try to address this nonsense point by point. I will admit upfront that dealing with a crazy man is not one of my strong suits.
You wanted an explanation from SGC? Did you ever think to contact them? It was my card that I brought to their attention with your help. Not sure who they needed to talk to about this but I know they would have answered any question you had. I think it would go something like this: WE MADE A MISTAKE AND DID NOT SEE THE ALTERATIONS. THIS WILL HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. THAT IS WHY WE OFFER A GUARANTEE ON THE CARDS WE GRADE.
Since you admittedly save every e-mail do you have the one that I sent to you last week where I said that I GOT THE FEELING that SGC may be sending me a check and not the card? The key words, I GOT THE FEELING-very simple English, Scott. It just so happens that Sean wrote to me a few days ago and said he was sending the card back to me per my request. I would not call that a lie, Scott. Maybe in your world all things remain constant but in the real word, in which most of us live, things change as time moves on.
You (and your collectors with more credibility then me) are beyond help if you actually think that any grading company who actually offers a guarantee is going to take a risk of charging $10 to grade a card knowing that there is a lifetime liability on the card should it turn out to be altered. A rationally thinking person would know that the company will make every effort to limit it's downside by not holdering a card. It does not take many errors like this to put a company like SGC out of business. I cannot believe that I am actually addressing this matter with you.
Once again, if I thought or knew that this card was altered, it would not have been submitted to SGC or GAI. If I want altered cards to grade I will send them to PSA. They do not seem to have any issue with grading them, although at this point I do have an issue with knowingly selling one. I consider SGC and GAI friends and would not want to do anything that harmed their business. Which is why I told them not to send me the $700 for the error. Again, your conspiracy theory that you have spun from your own paranoia is not permitting you to see reality. Honestly Scott you are embarrassing yourself now.
There is no diversion on my post. You are the one from the onset of posting about the E95 card who refused to come clean with the information you had. Why protect the guy who you sold it to? Very strange behavior for a guy who calls himself a watchdog. By the way, it was you in an e-mail to me today who said your issue is with the guys who are doctoring cards not the companies that graded them. So why mock my wanting to know the travels of this card?
