I said I wasn't going to post about this but DARN it. I think there could be some other issues we don't know about, and not related to this subject, but that's another story. I will say that on the face of it I don't like there being non-full disclosure of facts in an auction. It is fraudulent in my opinion, HOWEVER there could be a motive here to find out the value of the card, as it is advertised. That way you could see what damages could be, possibly in a lawsuit, if someone had it sold to them that way. I am not saying I know this for sure as I definitely DO NOT. I will also say that I don't necessarily like private auctions, HOWEVER (I keep saying that) I have mentioned also that I understand them a little bit and about 90% of them are scams. The other 10% are not....19thCenturyonly, Scott Gaynor, and a few others use them and I do not doubt their integrity for a minute.....and if someone has 600 or so feedback, or whatever Doc has, they are usually very trustworthy....so I say for the time being we back off and see what happens.....in a short amount of time (about 100 Scooby shows as my 5 year old would say) we'll know.......who on this board has not been totally wrong and stuck their proverbial foot in there mouth before? Just some things to ponder.....regards all
ps...I am not taking any side....except I will say keep the trash talk off the board, guys. thanks..
