Found this in my inbox today from Rob (Hi Rob) thought this was intresting to say the least!

"He has promised to reveiw it and get back to me. He indicated he has never been contacted or has to his knowledge seen this particular card."

PSA I think owes you and REA an appology Doug and us an explination…seems Joe is having some memory problems. This just into my inbox…from Rob Lifson..with his permission to post Leon.

Dear Mr. Wonkaticket, I have been directed to the Net54 thread regarding the Nodgrass card, specifically the recent post by Leon for Doug Allen. With reference to the sentence that suggests that REA did not contact PSA about this card, there appears to be a misremembance. In addition to referencing this card (and its status as being sent to the grading company) in a public interview with the Sports Collectors Daily published on November 1, 2007, REA also has emails, witnesses, phone records, and Fed Ex records that prove that we did communicate with PSA and send the card to them for review specifically because it was not real and we would not auction it.

As I read the post above, it is saying otherwise. I am writing only to correct this error. Also, attached is a copy of the executed PSA submission form that was sent back to us with the fake Nodgrass card when it was returned to REA by PSA (we then sent the card back to the consignor, and we have the Fed Ex records, as well as correspondence, documenting this return as well).

You are welcome to post this email and/or and the attached PSA submission scan if you would like, to clear up any misconception regarding the claims that have been posted implying that REA did not contact, email, personally speak with PSA, and/or send the card in for review, as we did ALL of these things, and we can prove it.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Wonkaticket, In addition to the PSA submission scan, per your request is am forwarding this second email (with REA's scan of the fake Nodgrass card attached) that REA sent to PSA prior to sending the card in for review via Federal Express, and you are welcome to use this to further establish that an error has occurred with reference to claims implying that REA did not contact PSA about the fake Nodgrass card.

Hi Joe! Here is a scan of the T206 nodgrass so you can check the cert # and see who submitted it and when in case this provides valuable info. I'll get this out to you today for tomorrow delivery. Here is the name and # of the consignor (below). He was fine with us sending it in for your review. The guy he bought it from was a guy named George Hober (don't know him but apparently this is not isolated with this guy). Happy to be out of the loop on this - the owner of the card's contact info is:

Nate Racine

P.O.Box ***

Zephyr Cove, NV. 89448

775-***-****

and his email address if you need it is: nbracine@****.net

Sincerely,
