BobShane- I think you are being unfair. Those dealers who come here and post are held to the same standards as collectors and/or investors who post here. Barry Sloate, Steve Verkman, Scott Brockelman and many others dealers post here and are subject to the same scrutiny as anyone else.
This board and its posters represent a knowledgeable and dedicated part of the hobby, paticularly with respect to pre-war cards. The board is also important in doing whatever it can to protect the unwary collector from being fleeced or cheated, whether it is on ebay or an online auction, etc. I think it is a cheap shot to denigrate the posters here by criticizing them and yet championing the "feelings" of someone who has criminally defrauded, cheated and stolen money, including, if the article is proven to be true, the sick, elderly and infirm.
