About 3 weeks ago I am having dinner in Miami with a friend and his friend. The entire night the friend of my friend is talking about properties he has in NYC and Miami and whatnot. I am pretty sure that this guy is full of it but obviously can't be sure. Conversation turns into about cards somehow and I tell them about PSA and grading etc. The guy is like yeah, i have a ton of cards. "Bunch" of mantle rookies and 2 1957 topps sets all graded PSA 9. Now since we are on a topic where I can finally call him out.. I look at him and say.. You have 2 1957 topps sets in PSA 9? He says, yeah.. I say.. "No you don't".. And give him a brief explanation on why I know he is lying (pop report,set registry)..

He says, yeah i do, you can come look at them one day.. I dont push any further and we go onto our next topic..

Just thought I would share...

    Did you ask him if they were master sets or basic?

    LOL...

    I was telling my friend the whole night.. Who is this kid? He is so full of it..

    Anytime a place came up in conversation.. He had a house there. (NY,Miami, Dominican, Jamaica)

    Penelope's husband! Was it Tony the Tiger? She dated him once.

    I have a guy at work who is like that. not necessarily "topping" you all the time, but he always has a story similar to yours and has to tell it. He'll even interrupt you to make sure you hear.

    He'd probably say "I've got 2 of each!"

    Ya know Roger - ya gotta feel sorry for people like that - they seem to be so lacking in self-confidence that they have to tell whoppers - thinking that's how people will accept them.

    I'll go ahead and grant him his dilusions - since right now, it seems that's all he has? image

    Happy Easter everyone!

    Ha! I'd be willing to bet a Ted Williams pack that he doesn't have those sets.

    You really should've played back at him. When he said he had 2 PSA 9 57 sets, you should've said you have 2 PSA 9 56 sets. When he said he had a house in Jamaica, you should've said you own a hotel there. That would've been a fun game.

    Next time tell him about your 1954 Topps Mantle or your 1952 Topps Ted Williams and see how many of those he has.

    I don't know how he has 2 sets when I have 3.What a line of BS.
