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

one sided discussion

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 )

i too would like to know the details, obviously busting out of the 4 holder gets sgc off of the hook forever, no one can ever return it for a guarantee payment of difference of grades. that has to be worth something to someone. Leon, you said it would now reside in a 2 holder, but you seem to be returning it to nypl ungraded, did you change your mind? and why? why even bother contacting sgc about a new grade if you were going to return it to the nypl? leverage? can you explain? why would you care what holder it's in now if you are giving it back? if it matters what holder or grade it is in now, why didn't it matter BEFORE you consigned it to heritage? why didn't it matter then? you didn't notice the ink marks on the back and compare them to the listed criteria that sgc uses to determine grade and figure out something must be wrong? but now you do?
