So much for REA disclosure on T206s...

I would bet good money the answer is yes and most likely not an opening bid either. Most of the time when Kevin takes the time to blast a card with its own thread its a card he's tried to buy...nothing new. Funny? Yes..new not so much.

One thing to note on the PSA cards with a number grade, theoretically PSA has a money back guarantee, so if the trim seems too obvious, the buyer could always try to send the card back to PSA and try to get the price he paid to REA back from PSA.

You know what, the fact that this is driving you absolutely nuts gives me incredible satisfaction. Now ladies and gentlemen, sit back and enjoy the vast array of cartoons, past emails, ancient old Net54 threads, and everything else this guy has hoarded away in his computer. I wonder if you really know how silly you look sometimes when you resort to those tactics, shows pretty poor form if you ask me. There is no disputing the fact that I can't stand you, and vice versa, but why don't you take it off the board? There is no taking the high road with someone like you, I guess you have plenty of idle time to kill....P.S.- I believe if I was going to spend $5500 plus, I would settle for a centered and non trimmed Joss....

I don't have a horse in this race, why not answer Leon's question...."did you bid on this card". Your last post looks like a pretty big deflection.

Sorry you didn’t win the Joss card Kevin there’s always next time.

[wonkaticket]

Kevin all joking and chop busting aside and yes I know were not fans of each other etc. If in fact I falsely accused you of bashing and bidding which you have done prior. I extend the following to you in terms of a reconciliation. If you’re ok with contacting someone from REA and telling them to reach out to Leon confirming I was wrong and that you didn’t bid on the card. I will issue you a humble public apology and donate a $500 to a charity of your choice.

Cheers,

John

That sounds like a lawyer who asks a question only because he knows the answer.

[wonkaticket]

Pete, not a 100% sure but in this situation happy to play the averages I'm pretty sure my $500 is safe given the track record. I'm sort of with Leon on this if anyone asked if I bid on something I could easily just say yes or no....not a hard question to answer.

However with that said I'm also very happy and willing to pony up and admit I was wrong on my guess should that need to be done.

The core of the issue. Many past and present members have tried this tactic slam a card, seller or item while bidding in hopes of driving away folks nothing new. Oddly enough it doesn't work in fact seems to draw more attention to the items. I think its a lame tactic and isn't in good form since we are on the topic of good form. In a hobby filled with fraud and doubt on certain items why create more doubt and issues with a seller or item that aren't really there or you're not sure of? Just so you can win an item? Then what when you get the item it's now all good no issues? Just seems silly.

Cheers,

John

I am still waiting to hear how this turns out...but I'm not holding my breath.

Um, with the search engines it's pretty easy to find just about anything on Net 54. If you said that in a post in the past, your post can be easily found and some people tend to have long memories. And the question is simple, did you make an offer on the card back in the day before it was consigned to REA. That is a yes or no answer. You can yell all you want but your history is out there.
