Wow - You miss a day on the board and look what happens. Chan's explanation of why he created those cards isn't worth the bandwidth he used to post it. The fact is, like most of us all have stated is that it is simply pathetic and, professionally speaking, I would love to use it in cross-examination.
As a collector, though, it is sad and I tend to agree with Barry about the repercussions of this fraud. Just like a "certificate of authenticity" is only as good as the ethics of the expert signing it, this is a reminder that a graded card is no better than the eyes, expertise and ethics of the grader. Sad all the way around.
Two further thoughts:
Jeff - If Chan tries to retain you and tries to pay you with a Cobb back, you might want to think about that...
And, I think proper casting for the telenovella of this fiasco means that Bond73/Chan be played by... Alan Rosen
