In his defense though, I once called him out on a card doctoring job he had done and he removed the listing and I've never seen it return.

Totally agree - I have seen him in action at some local Boston-area auctions, and usually chuckle at some of the odd purchases, then seeing them re-appear soon on the Bay, in much better condition (at least in his description) than in the initial auction.

How does he possibly have 10,500 + feedbacks with 100% positive? So much for that system providing any real way of establishing credibility...

I senrt him the following question: "It appears that this card is in agraded case. Is it and what is the grade of the card since there is no mention of it in the auction. Drew".
We will see if he responds.

He responded to me. I posed the same question as well. He states that the card IS NOT graded. So I guess that settles that! Case closed!

I tried to neg him, he never sent me a card and when I opened a case with paypal he sent a bogus tracking number. When I pointed it out to paypal they cancelled the transaction and refunded me, so I didn't have a chance to neg him.
Googling him for back articles in The Sun Chronicle will reveal more info.

I will also send the "holder" question and see if he responds.

I don't know why you guys are toying with him on the holder issue. Either 1 of 2 things happened.

1.) He bought the card and cracked (or will crack) it out of the holder for the buyer.

2.) He stole the scan for his own listing.

Either way is unscrupulous.

If you want to know the truth, just call him out on it. Don't toy with him about the holder.

What's not being mentioned is the imbecile factor of potential buyers. If they can't see by looking, that those cards aren't ex or ex plus and "crease free" etc, they are just as bad.

Slimy as this guy is, the idiot buyers (as in fake autos) are often just as guilty of not having the intelligence of an Amoeba

He ended his original auction, removed the card from the holder and relisted the card..... Still with the same auction description....
