Sorry guys my day job did not allow me to follow all of the dialogue today. To be honest I can't possible read it all. Let me make an additional comment based on what I have had a chance to read.

Since my dialogue on this forum months ago I have met extensively with Joe Orlando and Dave Forman. As a result of this dialogue I totally understand what PSA and SGC consider alteration to cards and neither myself or anyone from my firm will ever engage in the alteration of cards. We will disclose alterations that we note in items that are consigned to us and will continue to scrutinize cards submitted to us that have already been graded by an independant service. I refuse to say anything else on the subject. If I indicated there was a fleck of tobacco on a card and I flicked it off there would be 20 posts about how inappropriate this is. Everything I say here is taken totally out of context and blown out of proportion that is the reason I choose not to answer specific questions on this subject.

Someone I respect contacted me today and told me to stay off this forum. They told me I can't win. I totally disagree. I believe the majority of the people who read this forum understand that I am trying to be honest and responsive. Everyone who knows me understands that I am a person who considers much of my business success to based on ethics and integrity.
