Broadway Rick has a famously bad reputation. Every time his name comes up, people have bad things to say, and nobody has anything good to say.

My own personal beefs with him are as follows:

1) He took advantage of me when I was a newbie, giving me my first real really bad experience as a card collector.

2) He admitted to me on the phone that he rubs wrinkles out of cards. "It's just something that dealers know how to do."

I think that if you buy PSA-graded from this guy, you will probably get good stuff, but even then I would be worried that he altered a card and PSA didn't catch it. There was a $500 card up on eBay yesterday that I kind of wanted, and I didn't bid on it, because Rick was the seller. It made me feel GOOD to know that I cost him some money.

I would not only not buy raw material from him, I would not take it from him for FREE.
