Yeah, my world is all hypothetical while you spin one contrarian fantasy after another which never results in anything concrete other than more blathering posts amounting to nothing.

I'm not the one with a potentially stolen card for sale. I'm not the one claiming to do more than 99.9 % of people in this hobby in terms of fighting fraud. While conveniently failing to do basic due diligence on a major ticket item that had serious potential issues. Issues by the way that you were made aware of a year ago by federal authorities. I'm also not the one taking gifts and praising a known major hobby fraud for his generosity.

Like so many before you and so many more to come. I'm so proud of you for doing the right thing after it's made public and no longer under the carpet. May I strive to have your integrity one day. Make no mistake Leon the only spin and charade I see here is coming from the greater Texas area because it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

The issues I was made aware of a year ago had been cleared up in my mind. When I saw the new information today I took immediate action. What more do you want? Why this crusade? You are acting like an idiot. The authorities I spoke with today didn't indicate they had any issue whatsoever with me. I am good with that. I am sorry I don't live up to your high moral standards though. I will strive very hard though....

So what's happening with the card?

After I speak with the NYPL (hopefully tomorrow but very soon) a determination will be made. It can't be put back in once pulled so we are making sure it was in fact stolen before we pull it. I wish I had seen how that mark was portrayed today, earlier. Such is life. I just bought a card....(and this was the 3rd time it has sold in auction since 1996)

On the bright side there is an open bar at the Net54 hors d'oeuvers dinner

It's not my standard Leon it's yours the rest of the 99.9% of us are just sitting on the sidelines while you fight the good fight remember. Luckily I'm not involved fraud or shady stuff because you would "be my worst enemy" or something like that.

I'm just sort of shocked that Chris let alone Nash was able to research a six figure card with limited access in a matter of seconds and raise these questions to you, so you could act so quickly to correct. Again sort of surprised nothing else prior to this gave you reason to act or research this thoroughly before listing with an auction house for sale. Luckily the auction covered all the bases huh?

"There is surface marring or erasure on the back in the same upper quadrant. This could be a library stamp, a collector stamp or the mark of some retailer."

Yeah I guess I'm just an idiot who doesn't get this hobby...you know me.
