    i hate this seller with a passion, just because he has the audacity to call literally every single card he has a gem mint 10, regardless of how chitty the card is..

    he's been on ebay for years now.. i wish i had the august 2001 beckett, i wonder what kind of article it is that mentions him..

    Funny you mention this seller.

    I was watching one of his PSA items (PSA Robinson). As you can see, he's sold a few PSA cards in the past month:

    Seeing a bulk of his inventory being "Graded Rookies Authentic" spooked me off. Probably would have won too....
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    i love this feedback on a 87 marino card left on 3-12-07:

    "hard to believe a full 10 but close enough"

    did the buyer look at the card before purchasing it?

    .....in the unlikely event that you are not satisfied with your purchase, simply pop open the holder, remove the card inside, insert the card YOU think should be a GEM MINT 10 and return to us and we'll sell it in our next big, big auction......

    I happen to have this issue, and I thumbed through it 3 times before I finally found this on the bottom of the next to last page... it was one of four Web sites mentioned under the heading "Sites to See"

    By mentioning both Beckett and PSA, he's keyword spamming. We should all report his auctions.

    This guy has been around for a while. He is based out of Michigan here and all of his cards no matter what are 10s, have never seen another grade from him. I believe it states that his company was mentioned in Beckett?? Would like to see if that is true.

    Guess I should read all the posts here before posting, sorry for rehashing what everyone else stated already.

    This guy would give Rosie O'Donnell a 10.

    You got a problem with that? If you do she may just come over to your house naked while you are watching the Super Bowl!

    The article does not even talk about the grading part of the company, and if you go to the web address it just takes you to his Ebay store!! I wish I knew where is was working from, Royal Oak is not that far from me.image
