Most of this Seller's high dollar raw cards are Fakes. Please be careful.

These are three of the four reprints he sold, the other was a $450 Cobb. Buyer Beware.

8k+ for three fakes, not a bad day in the office. Ebay loves it as long as they get their cut.

Yep, the W520 Ruth for $1700 was disputed with the reason being "I want my refund", do you think that has anything to do with this thread? The buyer did crap his pants and start claiming that the card is at PSA as we speak (after he opened the dispute obviously), but it's a legit strip card. Sorry. It is. The Paige is legit. The Ruth apparently came back N4 and the buyer was automatically refunded (I couldn't because I was already suspended, otherwise I would have refunded him myself). It came out of my PayPal Plus Cash Account. But these kind of assumptions and other garbage is so dangerous, especially when I have a track history of selling A LOT of expensive graded cards. Not just the Tier 3 HOFers or whatever. I've sold multiple PSA A Ruth and Cobb Strip cards. I sold graded t205 and t206 Mathewsons, Cobbs, etc. This was a mistake.

Poster beware; I'm obviously going to take action to protect myself.

Leon, I believe the posts by user "danmckee" are explicitly written about me. There needs to be a way made available to me to seek recourse for the defamation caused. If a single one of those 4 cards isn't a reprint (Ruth Strip Card will absolutely come back legit, Paige buyer had no problems, Cobb came back only because of the guys on this board)...point being they're not all reprints and as a result, I lost revenue, reputation, and potential future earnings. As I said, I will be sending you an email to discuss this further. If you hate me, that's fine. You have an obligation as the moderator of this forum to keep the posts within it legal and not slanderous towards another individual.

PS - if you guys wanted to go after someone, why wouldn't you go after Toppsaholic? I paid the guy 2x more than what he wanted when I made a mistake purchasing an item from him and he still harassed me with private calls. I got over 60 in one day, literally. None of that stuff is looked at as lightly as "danmckee" thinks. As the moderator, you should know that. I would like to have a chat before going to vBulletin and trying to solve this ridiculous problem superhero mckee created for me. He'll pay for it (literally, with money), but it's not a good habit to get into. Keep the posts on the forum legal...

Let me get this straight....

Dan buys a strip card that is fake, and he is refunded by you. Dan tells us about this experience. It's a true statement.

Dan tells us about the cobb being fake. PSA sends back as fake. True statement.

Am I missing something here? Both of these statements were true. Dan, and everyone else, please keep reporting on your true experiences so that this Board can continue to make educated decisions with whom to do (or NOT do) business with. Thank you Dan!

Hi soccerfan9264,

I'm glad you're here to clear the air and defend your good name.

I can't speak to whether or not you've sold any fakes, but one thing I am curious about is your alleged connection with accounts on ebay who allegedly engage in fraudulent and unethical buying behavior. For instance, several months ago, there was an ebay account named "steplout4" who was reportedly (as I heard from numerous trusted ebay sellers) purchasing cards and then filing disputes with ebay as if they were unauthorized transactions, thus getting a refund without having to send the card back. More than one of these cards was then subsequently sold by you. Both you and steplout4 had listed your location as Bellmore, NY.

In addition to that alleged connection that others reported, one that I can personally attest to is that another account located in the NYC area purchased a card from me on ebay. Over two months later, with zero messages beforehand, this buyer left me negative feedback on that card. Being a good and ethical seller, I immediately messaged the buyer to find out what the problem was and offered a full refund with a prepaid return label, only to be told that it was "not really worth me shipping the card back out," which I thought was an odd reply. I checked completed listings to see if this buyer had already resold the card, but no, the card in question had actually been sold by you, about a month before this buyer had left his negative feedback.

I can imagine it might be very distressing for someone of your good character to have any alleged connection with unsavory activities like what I describe above and that you might want more information. Just say the word and I'll be glad to post everything I have (e.g. screenshots, messages, relevant names and addresses), as well as asking other involved parties to come and give their accounts, so that you and anyone else who's interested can do their own investigating.

I look forward to your reply!

That's the experience Dan told you about? That one is absolutely true, as is the second (which I told Dan about), but how much other garbage was fabricated? Other cards that were totally fine that he claimed were fake? Some BS about shilling...? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own set of facts.

Funny thing about business, if you're surrounded in turmoil and controversy there's usually a reason for that. I've also transacted with Dan and it was smooth professional drama free experience. In business as in life, character counts, a lot.

Have no comment on the eBay listings as I never saw them prior to you pulling your account. However, if you're concerned about your reputation as a dealer I would be more worried about damage control than hostilely threatening potential customers with legal disputes.

If I understand correctly, you are admitting to have sold at least 2 fakes, is that right? Wouldn't a better approach to clearing your name be to address that and explain that they were mere outliers instead of threatening lawsuits?

Something like

"Hello, you are correct that I recently listed a few items that were deemed not authentic. This was simply an accident that comes with the territory when you deal with vintage raw cards. I have made the buyer whole and will go to great lengths to make sure something like this never happens again. My reputation is very important to me and I have a long solid track record of transactions over the last 15 years. I hope the members of this forum realize my honesty and won't be reluctant to deal with me in the future."

would seem to go over a lot better than lashing out. I understand the frustration you have with sales being pulled on ebay due to this thread. Again, I never saw any of your cards so you may have a very legitimate reason to be upset. That being said I think you'd be better off by being a little less combative.

Add me to the list soccer fan. Your cards are shit and that’s my opinion. Still uncertain if you’re a con or just clueless? Once some of these buyers realize they bought reprints they’ll be coming back for a refund down the road. Many people contacted eBay over these worthless “ treasures”. And make sure you keep all the scans to prove you wrong!

FWIW search Toppsaholic on this board you'll see he's been raked over the coals.
