Oct 10th would be in the future. Unfortunately it is always a possibility about what you are saying...The questions are rather perplexing given the value of the sale....If I am buying a 30k+ card I am not coming on a chatboard where I know 0 people and asking if it's authentic...from a good seller in a PSA holder..I have to admit it doesn't all add up very well....who knows??

Sorry, meant to say Oct '10 (Oct 2010).

I always get confused on that, because in Canada we list day/month/year. So I'm either born June 12 or December 6, I'm just not sure

I joined this board originally to ask if a card was authentic. I never did ask.

gotta give the guy the benefit of the doubt. if i was making a large purchase like that, i would look for opinions here too. if he is working with the seller, so what???

Actually, no, we don't have to really give the benefit of the doubt. I would say it's open for debate at this point. And depending on how he would be working with the seller, advertising on the main forum is not allowed. There is a BST pages for that and there are banners that can be bought. We are "advertising friendly" on this board but not in the main forum. So, he could be breaking the rules and that could get him banned. You asked so..... That is what. regards

Added to say that if the original poster is truly looking for an honest opinion, then of course, that is one of the main purposes of this forum and is permitted and applauded........I just want to keep everything in context.
