leonI feel the need to say a couple of things about this thread. First of all, for the most part, I don't want to see personal emails on this board. That has always been the rule and it still is. This is in unusual situation though. I was at a softball board meeting last night when this started so didn't see it till there were several posts. If I stopped it it would have been seen as protecting an advertiser which I will not do. So since it was going I needed to let it go. In Pete's defense on the quoted statement about this board....I sort of agree.
I know Dan, Pete, and most of the folks at Mastro Auctions pretty well. Not a bad apple in the bunch. Great folks. Every one of them. As for this situation with the back damage. If you read what Fred said, I echo his thoughts. If there is back damage on cards I do feel it should be disclosed if there are no scans. With that being said it is probably impossible to go over every minute detail of every, lower valued, pr-fr graded (slabbed or unslabbed) card. At the end of the day us buyers do need to ask the questions as Dan did. Maybe that is the lesson that can be learned from this.....best regards
