I once bought a card from him that he listed and priced accordingly as a VG-EX. I bought it, noticed there was a giant vertical crease down the middle that you wouldn't notice in the listed images. Sent it in to PSA, came back a GOOD+ 2.5. I was still completely fine with the grade and didn't mind the crease and the overpriced value because the card had outstanding colors and registration. But I messaged him after the PSA results simply to tell him the disparity in grading. I was friendly about it, told him I still was going to keep the card, and my intention was just to give him the heads up.
But no response. Ever. Even after a second email. I was so annoyed that he wouldn't simply acknowledge the situation. Not even asking for anything. An underwhelming "oh ok" would have done. I refuse to buy from him to this day. |

I have purchased a few cards from him with no issues. On occasion I see some of his listings and feel they are a bit too pricey for the grade, but that is strictly personal preference. No big deal.

I purchased many cards from him in the past, though not lately. He's GOLD as far as I'm concerned: Always highest quality!

in grading and communication. I think Mike lost active interest in the hobby a long time ago and is now going through the motions with the inventory and customer base he has had for a long time. Not a lot of energy there for things like proactive customer service-

I've never had any issues with Mike although it's been awhile since I've dealt with him. Back in the days before eBay he'd publish catalogs on a monthly basis and would run monthly auctions where cards would start at opening bids of $5. Much of my collection came from those auctions. Mike, along with Tom Witek, would spend as much time as required on verbal descriptions over the phone until I was satisfied. Never had any issues with sending something back if I didn't like it. Right now, while the business bears his name, I wonder how much he's even involved any longer with day to day operations.

I also have occasionally bought from Mike. Never any issues.
