I don't know what has happened with David or his auctions. I used to really enjoy bidding on his cards and buying cards from him in the early and mid '90's. His cards were always well graded and he was an invaluable source when I was building my first T207 set. I began hearing rumblings from collectors about 4 or 5 years ago and had a bad experience myself around then. Since then I haven't purchased any more cards from him. I don't know what has happened as I found the David from 8-10 years ago to be very friendly and a pleasure to work with but now he doesn't seem like the same guy and I hear reports that his cards are severely overgraded and he doesn't seem to care about his customers like he once did. My last transaction with him was a problem and he failed to respond to any of my emails for a refund on card which had been horribly altered. A real shame...
