Yes, he helps me with the security camera set up also. He comes off
wacky over the internet/ebay, but is totally different in person. I don't
have an answer for why this is but I suggest everybody who is curious
to actually meet him in person at a show and prove me wrong.

Also if anybody ever wants to meet me: I am Greg. I wear a Purple shirt
at every show

I once pointed out to him that his ridiculous price on an utterly low-grade, dogshit Cobb item was like 7x what it was worth. He then proceeded to mention me in his auction listing for the item, chastising me for not knowing what the item was worth and insisting because he paid $1500 for it (he was listing it at over 5K at the time) the card was worth at least $1500. I had mentioned it was worth $500 I believe. Anyway, two years later, the card remains on eBay and when he listed it for under 2K with a best offer option no one bit. He's since removed me from his listing. I don't remember him as being mean-spirited, just a delusional idiot.

Edited to add: in his eBay listing he mentioned "sometimes even the best lawyers in the world don't know what they're talking about." So I enjoyed that.

Is he the one that pretended to be a woman and posted about the theft of your 51B Mantle? I seem to recall that but am not 100 percent on the details.

LOL, I had forgot about that, Great guy otherwise. EDIT: To add i believe he(they) also had a 3rd ID on here as larrydavidfan33, that one was really shot lived.

Probably sitting beside each other while posting about the missing(maybe) Mantle.

Joined the forum from Florida just to find Greg.

The name sounds familiar from another thread about a questionable green Cobb. I do not remember the details but it wasn't a good look from what I do recall.

I should add that if a rare card slipped through the cracks and sold for 28 bucks I have no problem with it being listed for 100, or even 1000. People can ask whatever they want. I have no idea what the value of this card is. But just because he paid 28 bucks doesn't mean it's only worth 28 bucks.

He bought a graded Cobb Green that was a fake, knowing that it was fake. He tried to sell it as a real Cobb Green on Ebay, then joined Net54 to defend himself after some members caught the fake. He offered to post a video of himself destroying the card.

We're still waiting for that video.

Those are the details I had forgotten. Probably best to avoid this seller.

Although I might not agree with a lot of his crazy/bizarre antics, it is his right to ask whatever he wants for an item. I learned a long time ago that just because something sells for a certain price at auction doesn’t mean that’s all it’s worth.

I also agree with whoever said if they lost out at it for $28 just offer $60 and be done with it if you really want it. It took more time and energy to get on here and write this post.

It's funny ... when I started reading this thread ... without opening the link ... one Ebay seller's name came to mind instantly. What a shock that it turns out that this is exactly who I was thinking off?

I’m just glad he changed his address. For the longest time he was listing his location on eBay as Cooperstown. Searching local listings was a nightmare with his thousands of items clogging the results.

If I'm right that he is NotVader who posted one of the most improbable posts in history, about joining the forum just to report what by miraculous coincidence she just happened to see at the National while accompanying her uncle or whoever it was, and wanted to find Greg to let him know, then why if Greg knew the post was fake didn't he disclaim it?

Ha. Mantle still has not been recovered. I had no involvement with the Vader woman postings but I did get a good laugh out of it.

I think this hobby/industry needs a tv show or a movie. There is more than enough content to extract from.

Personally I do not believe you.

I am sure he is nice in person. Most internet bullies have to be because they are only tough when locked safely in their basement away from the real world.

I could be way off base. But that whole episode, the Not Vader posts, the other attack on Earl Johnson, just the whole thing set off my spider sense.

[h2oya311]

amazing all the bad experiences with this seller (per the posts above) but he has 100% eBay feedback.

Charlie Sheen could play Adrian.
