Jon is a great guy. He does get a bit ticked about shipping because he told me a lot of people don't follow the simple instructions. Somewhere he used to say that he wouldn't use one of the shippers no matter what. So, I called him and disguised my voice and asked if I could use THAT shipper. You had to be there....there was a moment of silence, then he let out NO I WON'T...... then he caught on...and I started LMAO...... I have known him about 15 yrs and he has always been great. Sounds like he was having a bad on the one with Hank. And whomever said he sets up at all the Nationals isn't quite right. He hasn't set up at one in maybe 6-8 yrs or more. He used to set up with John Billingham ? and Mike ?? but that was a long time ago. I see him at most Nationals and we talk for a bit...but he doesn't set up anymore. (not sure if he will again)

I suspect he knew he was stretching the S&H to squeeze a little more out of it, and got angry to be called on it. Clearly, the guy has a lot of fans. But from where I sit, of course, if someone's a jerk to me, he's a jerk. I don't really care what anyone else thinks about him.

I will not call the guy a jerk. He did ban me for the same reason as Hank. This was before 2010 and $8.75 for s/h is still a strong amount. I am not trying to be a smart aleck. The s/h is high.

My only beef with Jon is that he started buying up all of the good lots in Hunt's Telephone/Internet auctions making it difficult for me to get any bargains.

As far as this postcard goes he's waaaaaaayyyy off...that's not Shoeless Joe....it's Josh Gibson.

edited to add...this is probably a Knights of Columbus team from Hoosick Falls, NY

In the one and only transaction I had with him, he was a jerk. I didn't like it then, and I still don't like it.

I'm with you on not liking the matter. I had previous transactions with Jon.
