fa·ce·tious /fəˈsiʃəs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[fuh-see-shuhs] - –adjective 1. not meant to be taken seriously or literally: a facetious remark. 2. amusing; humorous. 3. lacking serious intent; concerned with something nonessential, amusing, or frivolous: a facetious person. >>
Let the record show that I don't, for one minute, believe you were making a subtle stab at humor when you offered up that reason for not grading the card.
But I am happy to humor you, and so I'll ask it again (is this the fourth time? I've lost count). If the Greene was 'perfect in every way', and 'mint', then why didn't you submit it yourself? >>
PSA 9s were selling for $150 on eBay. I had 3 PSA 10s and 6 PSA 9s at that time, all from my personal submissions.
The card was/is being hoarded in RAW condition by a particular eBay user that was bidding $130 or so on the card. It wasn't worth my time or effort to have them graded, as it costs around $11/card for me with shipping both ways. So I set my reserve for $129, made $110/card after eBay fees, and called it a day. To avoid eBay fees, I sold the remaining copies off eBay for a substantial amount. If this is confusing, please ask the question again, and I will do my best to elucidate.
Thanks for asking. As always, I appreciate your interest/concern. >>
OK. I'm not sure I buy all that, but I will say that this is at least a legitimate reason. You probably could have saved everyone involved in this discussion a considerable amount of time and hassle if you'd simply offered up this explanation in the beginning, which makes me a little skeptical about it's truth value, but hey-- what's done is done. And, as you've said before, this really isn't an issue in which I have any personal investment.
As I said in my prior post, best of luck in your card dealings going forward. Here's to hoping that 2007 is more even productive for you (and everyone else here) than 2006.

What exactly don't you "buy?" If you can pinpoint your doubts, I will do my best to clarify.
In any case, it appears that you do have the ability to be nice and fair. Thank you for your semi-kind words...

Steve,
I just, for the first time, looked at your "Mars Attacks" set. VERY nice set indeed. How long did it take you to complete it? Feel free to PM me...
