To me a very sad part of this
Unrelated to any issues with Dave Forman, but a possible issue with Legendary/Mastro.
I set up at a very small local card show in the DFW area today.
Leon stopped by to drop off flyers for Grand Slam Bids and to take in the show atmosphere.
While Leon was at my table, a nice man came by and asked my opinion of Mastro/Legendary. Whilst I did not hear most of the conversation, from what I gathered from chatting with Leon later was this man bought a clock for about $300 in which the auction description said was working.
Well. when the clock arrived in the Dallas area, it was no longer working and this man, who happens to be an attorney, was upset at how long it took (or may still be taking) to get back his money on that item.
Needless to say, just hearing that story 3rd hand was distressing (one never likes to hear complaints about anyone) and I hope Doug can get his ship turned around even more if possible.
I do want it understood, that obviously I could have, and should have contacted Doug before making this post -- and that is MY FAULT for not doing so. And for that, I do owe him an apology.
Doug has emailed me since, and has assured me that this issue was squared away. And if this was not a well balanced post about what I percieved, I do apologize to Doug --- it was not meant to further toss anyone under the bus, but was, as I pointed out, an issue that I got to hear about locally. I will also check with Leon to make sure that there are no more issues about this clock from that collector as well.
On a different note about Doug, he has been a long-time hobbyist, in fact somewhere in my home there are old Beckett book surveys that he filled out way way back in the day.
Regards
Rich
