REPUTATION.....
"A good reputation is an enviable honor. It cannot be bought, sold, traded, or otherwise acquired part way through life, or in the midst of a business career. It is elemental, and exists or does not exist at the beginning. A good reputation grows. It starts with the first person to whom you are known or with whom you deal, and expands throughout your career as you come into contact with more people. It must be maintained at ALL times or it ceases to exist".
The above, is a quote, made by Mr. Q. David Bowers in 1955. The good, honest dealers have been around awhile and will continue to be around for us.
The lying, coin doctoring, Telemarketing, crooked, plastic pushing, Bs, Slimey, Scumbag, crooks, will come and go, rather quickly. Once they are known, spread the word. The good guys are rather easy to spot, the bad ones will hide and try to blend in, but like a coin that has been dipped wrong or puttied, the defects will surface and then dealth with!!! Zerbe.

Right! You've never seen entire TV series built around coin dealers have you? But Lawyers, that's entertainment!
The bottom line is, the thousands of collectors are not keeping this guy in business. It is all the dealers that continue to buy from him. It is the grading services who continue to accept his thousands of crackouts. If I have to be the only thorn in his side, then so be it. I have plenty of time and resourses to continue this little expose. Maybe Coinworld or Numismatic news will pick up on this issue and do a story, and hopefully mention names.

Lawyers. I hate them even more.

Hans Tulving. Many long term collectors associate bad things with his name (and I am in no position to judge if those were correct). Today, many of us on the boards have had multiple transactions with him, and have nothing but good things to say.
I used to get his flyers. You could tell the guy was up to something fishy. "Everyone who is investing with me is making great money."
I'm glad he's been reformed.
Which goes to show you, none of us are perfect. Some of us make egregious errors and get whacked upside the head for them.
Consider the Israelites. A good example of what exists in most of us.
We're good. We're not so good. We're bad. We get whacked. We're good again.
Reminds me of my kids.
