I have had 1 deal with Jorge-an even up trade-a c46 for a ObaK with red back. The trade went well. After we agreed on the trade, I mailed his card the next day. I received mine from him in about 2 weeks. I think the deal was good for both of us. I would trade with him again. I will use caution with a purchase -this thread has come up more than twice...

You should put more value on your reputation than a piece of cardboard.

I've had deals with Jorge turn out positively as well. In each instance though I had to really be patient with payment as he often took months to pay for a card. I also had to really be persistant with follow up emails or else the deal would have surely fallen through the cracks. I like Jorge but I think he gets in trouble on the board pretty easily.

I also support placing this notice on the main page, which I know is not easy for Leon to do. However, this way, people who are currently working with him will be aware of what's going on, others can take caution and like Leon said, additional stories will probably surface as well.

I do like Jorge though and we want to keep him on the main board for sure. I just hope he can get things straightened out at somepoint with regards to his buying and selling.

I agree with all those that can see, and understand the problem here.
Jorge is not one of those that gets up in the morning with a plan on how to screw fellow collectors. ... the man is a good guy.
What we're seeing is one of the symptoms, and results of The Monster Insanity.
The monster has been around for one hundred years, and I have a feeling that it will be around for a few years more.
My point being ... be patient amigo ... there's no need to bite off more than you can chew ... it'll be there for the next feeding.

Jorge, hopefully this will help.
I started re collecting after 50, rather late don't you think?
Contrary to popular belief, modest means, but lots of researching, and lots of balls.
What was in my favor was, I could take chances, and no one but me would be affected ... that helped my insanity a great deal.

Be cool Jorge, the idea is to maintain your hobby as a sublimation, and not make it another added problem to forget.

Does any one know when the next Monster Anonymous meeting will be?

I also started re collecting near 50 and started the Monster from scratch. I don't think that's old and better late than never. Wish I would have collected cards and not ex wives in my younger years.

Collector of ex wives, I hope that you did a little better with The Monster, than what you did with all your ex wives.

You missed my whole point, and I'm beginning to understand the wives.
