How to crack a $50,000 to $100,000 card.....

[sago]

The issue has been discussed ad nauseum in other threads. The search tool is your friend. The fact that it is being returned to the NYPL feels like the main point of the thread. Cracking the card is just an interesting and entertaining side note.

Some people are never satisified, but I am sure that matters little. In the end, a class move.

Now that is funny. The threads on this have hardly been one sided, lots of members have been beating up on the owner of the forum about this card.

I don't have a strong opinion on this mess one way or the other, but I've been around bulletin boards/forums for 15 years and I've never seen a board owner allow the members to discuss as openly as this issue has been discussed. I mean look at your posts on this thread, you are adding nothing to the discussion other than negativity and your posts are allowed to remain.

You can argue the process but bottom line....the card is back with the rightful owner, and the only party that is out on this transaction (AFAIK) is Leon.

+1 Time to stop with all the negativity!

Wow. I can't believe how many people must have lost money on this deal with all the ill feelings. Didn't know so many were involved in this transaction.

a lot of people and the truth is hidden in all corners nary to see the light of day.

Jack Handey ? X Files ?

Did Leon send them the Hope Diamond too ? He is on a roll

Bugger the NYPL. They obviously are swimming in cash.

Why else would they fly someone to Dallas to pick up the card when it could be guaranteed safe, if not timely, delivery by Registered mail?

If Registered was good enough for the Hope Diamond . . .

Would you be willing to share the details of the return Leon?

I'm curious if you were able to consider this a donation to the NYPL. Hopefully you were able to get something out of it (if only a couple tickets to their gala )
