Hey Leon -

Anyone brave enough to deny vendomecat is due for a Greater Reward down the road - that guy is like the '85 Bears of bidders. Excuse me while I go write "Blome's" on the back of all my cards...

Just curious. He sure has been bidding early and often lately.

Hi Kevin

His name is Mike Shwartz. He's a great buyer and collector from New Orleans.

I've had several good dealings with him, as well as e-mail exchanges discussing vintage cards.

Leon, on a tangent .... In one of the older MastroNet auctions, when you would type in your bid, I accidentally added an extra digit to my bid with about 10 minutes left ... I was sweating it out, but luckly no one bid in the last couple of minutes. I suspect MastroNet changed the bidding system as others had similar experiences.

Mike is a serious collector and a phenomenal person.

I am more than happy to speak positively about him. I have every reason to. We have completed numerous transactions, and he is ALWAYS fast to pay. A number of the transactions we've done have been for several thousand dollars, so, I cannot imagine anyone ever having trouble with him.

He's a great person to know.

You can always sell me the Blomes back for $375 which is what it should have sold for anyway

My luck I would put it back on ebay and it WOULD BRING $375.00.....I am the worst friggin (@you) dealer in the world......oh well....at least I have fun .....sort of.....would be nice to win one (good buy) once in a while.....but no....then I would break my streak.....even the stock market is starting to sound good to me....but, at least if I make a mistake on an $800 card it isn't as bad as a mistake on a a really expensive card....always amazes me to se e those PSA 8 Ruth's go so high....I mean you could spend 20k on one, consign it, and get 15k....that would be a bummer.........regards all
