The one I traded Ben on the left has the famous "scratch" on the top left corner that I have seen on a few E104-1 Macks. Also, it was much darker. |

someone was using that card to shine shoes, or as a doorjam that kept getting moved around, or it got mashed down in someone's pocket, washed a number of times---and THEN: someone found it and said "OMYGOSH--it's Connie Mack! |

I think the dead give-away in difference is that the upper left corner on the one Mack is just a little more chewed than the other. |

Now I see what really happened here. Ben got bored one night and started chewing on his E104 Mack. When he realized what he had done, he was so emabarrassed that he made up this whole theft thing just to come up with a different explanation for what happened to his Mack. But we're all too clever to fall for that old scam. |

If the record still isnt straight with those people who started these rumours, I ask you to identify yourself - either here, or via email. If you can gossip about me in the chatroom, you should feel comfortable directly talking to me about it as well. I would have thought that having nearly my entire collection stolen would have been enough, to have to deal with this as well is pretty horrible. |

Ben- Although I don't know you personally I'll never forget the sheer terror of your network54 posts the hours after it happened. No way you were making all that up. It's like being violated again to have people doubt you. That's my gut and I'm sticking to it. |

Thanks for the support guys. It's good to know that the people spreading rumours about me are in the minority. I have moved on, but this kind of an accusation really does sting. Dan (new guy), I appreciate your remarks as well. Here are the threads that will fill you in on the details about the theft. The first post was made just minutes after I had discovered what happened: |

Ben, shortly after reading your posting many many months ago...I decided it wasn't such a great idea to openly display my valuable cards on a shelf like I had been doing...I moved them to a safe deposit box and now share my collection through scans and webpage. |

I still think that you will get your cards back Ben....or at least some of them. I just think that many of those examples are too nice to slip by the number of people who are aware of your collection when the person who stole them decides to sell them. |

If people want to question you....****'em, they're not worth knowing anyway. As for posting a copy of the police report, that's unneccessary in my opinion. Don't let a few rotten apples spoil anything for you, life's too short. |
