Norris Mauritson - Stole Amos Rusie, Now selling on eBay

[Alexcards]

Has anyone had any dealings with Norris Mauritson out of Olympia, Washington? This guy stole an 1887 N172 Old Judge Amos Rusie from me a number of years ago. I mailed him this card in a trade (I was supposed to get a T206 Green Back Cobb... not a good trade, I know better now). He "claimed" that he never got my card....yea right. I've been on the look out for this card for 7 years now (o.k.... so I'm a little nuts) and wouldn't you know it... it pops up on eBay for sale by... guess who? The card has a VERY unique 'fold'/printing crease along the entire bottom edge. He claims that he bought it from a dealer in San Fran 2 years ago. I had a discussion with the Cobb County Police Dept late last night and asked them to get in touch with PSA to see who submitted the card and when for grading. My guess is that it was 'not' some dealer in S.F. Be very careful if you are doing any trading or buying from Norris... I don't want to see anyone else getting BURNED!!! I did BIN on eBay just so I could get my card back but he's fighting me on the transaction and refusing to refund my money. I spoke with him yesterday and he remembers the transaction but refuses to do the right thing.

I suspect that you'll get more than a few responses to this post.

For dog's sake, return something to him. All PP needs to see is postal proof of returned item.

I don't have anything to add other than to say that I really appreciate it when people post this type of information on this forum. I know it takes some courage to call out an individual on such a public forum, but it is a very necessary public service.

I applaud anyone coming out and reporting a bad situation on the board. As in keeping with Net54baseball.com policy, Alexcards, you will need to put your full name on the board. I hope this all gets worked out for you. Thanks and good luck

Ahhhh, good old Norris. I have refused to deal with him since about 2005 and had some rather humerous exchanges before that time (humerous for me, he was totally serious). Eccentric guy with issues for sure. E mail me if you want.

Thanks for the warning. May Norris discover stretch marks on his wedding night.

So this Norris dude stole the card and waited SEVEN YEARS to sell it?

That defines patience.

Or maybe there is more to it than meets the eye?

Maybe he thought 7 years was long enough (some sort of statute of limitations)???
