and new to card collecting as well. I've been reading this forum as well as others that focus on cards.I have read everything that I can find concerning Dr. Koos and The Mantle Card as well as The Jackson. As a matter of interest, I have also read post from comic forums. So sad for me to think that if I'm ripped off somewhere in the future that I may become the target of people that I have no business dealings with, no personal relationship with and basically nothing more than a common interest in this wonderful hobby. In reading the hundreds of post on the few forums I frequent, I don't seem to find anyone that has actually dealt with Dr.Koos. I did find someone on a comic forum who was not satisfied and got a refund.

Again, I am new here, I have no personal interest here and,certainly with this being my first post here, I'm not likely to make many new friends here.How many folks here have had bad business dealings with Dr.Koos?
How many people here have just jumped into a smear campaign against a man that they really don't know?When I first began reading all these forums,I just wanted to learn more about this hobby. Instead, I found myself reading all of this trash and beginning to think that I must "BEWARE OF KOOS", like he was gonna do a home invasion at my house and force me to buy an alterd card or something.How much of all of this negativity is based on truth and how much is each post a facet of some kind of fecal juggarnaut? This man has private auctions. If I had all these folks chasing me around as if on a witchhunt, I would have private auctions too. How many altered cards can anyone here say that they KNOW have been sold by Dr. Koos? I'm not looking to start anything with anyone. I'm not a friend of anyone here and again ,after this post probably never will be.Because I am new to all of this,please, anyone that can enlighten me on cards, business dealings,Bad traders,I want so much to learn and do well.What I feel that I have learned most though, is that if I want to be a part of the card collecting community, I'd better watch my back.If I get ripped off, I may be deemed a crook.That there are people out there that will interefere with my business dealings on Ebay. Why, after all of that, would one want to even think of collecting and dealing online? I may be misinformed but, from everything I've read, Dr. Koos has done absolutely NOTHING outside of what is allowed on Ebay. I see daily,people who blatantly mislead for the purposes of fraud on Ebay.Why not concentrate on them? It seems to me that this man has been singled out for whatever reason, by folks that should be applauding his efforts to stop some of the fraud existing in this hobby. Since his single loss probably exceeds what most of us will spend this year on cards, why not empathize with this brother and offer support to bring those who are truly to blame, to justice? Again, maybe I'm misinformed, Doe anyone here have factual proof that Dr, Koos has sold altered cards or misrepresented cards? If so please show me and the rest of the confused newbies.
Thanks
