I just wanted to respond to all of the critics out there. First of all, I would like to thank you all for your criticism. To all of good collectors who left nice remarks, it is always a pleasure doing business with you. There are a few things that I would like to clear up. This will be my 1st and only email to the forum. we will start with 1)my name and reputation in the business. Briefly, without getting into detail with my NAME and REP., READ MY "ME" ICON NEXT TO TOBEEECAT ON EBAY- THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS!! MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE LISTED FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS. 2) COMMUNNICATION SKILLS- I am sorry that I cannot get to every collector's needs. I get over a hundred emails every couple of days with 75-100 collectors asking me questions. I am only a one man operation. my main goal is to find the material and list it with the exact detail of the item for the public. that goes with my email response to you. In other words, when you ak me a question, I give exact answers. Example "Does this card have a crease?" answer "no crease on card" or "does it have back damage?" answer "no back damage". It is right to the point...I answered the question. If you have a problem with the way I answer questions, feel free to contact me directly at (718) 428-5672. 3) as for scanning an item...Since I am listing atleast 80 items a week (sometimes more) it is easier for me to get my work done quicker by combining small items on one scan. One guy wrote something like I "color enhance my scans". Look at all my scans! They have never been color enhanced...I don't know what he is talking about. That is an untrue statement 4) Another untrue statement...Responding to 823DEK, the E-103 Cobb guy (I have no clue who he is...must be new to the hobby, not a veteran)...This person is not saying the truth. I have only had 1 E-103 Cobb in my life and that was around 6 years ago. It sold to a collector for $400 in a showcase ad. who will remain nameless in California. If anyone wants proof of this, contact me directly at my #. 5) responding to BEN on 10/01...this guy states that I purchased something from him. I rarely buy on ebay and when I buy, I send payment ASAP. I do not recall buying anything from BEN. If BEN could call me and possibly tell me what I have purchased from him, then we could have a nice discussion about it. 6) Grading...I am from the old school. I have been around and picked up a lot of things from the pioneers of our business (and if it wasn't for them, there would be no business) since 1983 where I did my first show helping out a pioneer who is no longer with us. Many of them have been extremely successful. I grade a card the way I have learned to grade a card for 21 years. longer then PSA, SGC, and all the grading services that are out there and making millions of dollars from collectors who pay and rely on a 3rd party eye. Most aren't even collectors in the field. As you guys know, grading is subjective. All I could say to you is that all of my items are SATISFACTION GAURANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK!!! And last of all, to answer the topic question "Is Brian Cataquet legit?" of course I am legit...I have been around a long time and I'll say it again...SATISFACTION GAURANTEED ON YOUR CARD OR ITEM OR YOUR MONEY BACK!!!!
happy collecting to all
