Greg,
I have seen your recent posts on Sports Collectors.net and I am possibly the person you are referring to. I recently wrote to Mr. Bednarik and received back my signed index card in addition to a 1948 Leaf and 1961 Fleer. I am sorry if you are upset, but I will not be sending you back these cards. I am not dishonest, but there is no way you can prove the cards are yours. I feel that Mr. Bednarik sent me the cards as a gift because of the nice letter I wrote. He would not have sent them if he did not want me to have them. If the cards did originally come from you, I am sorry, but I also feel that ownership is 9/10ths of the law. Once you send something through the mail, it may or not come back. I hope you understand my stance and wish you the best with your collection. I have never had cards this nice before and I have even been thinking of exclusively collecting the older stuff from now on.
Good luck!
Brett

HOWEVER, if it really is from him (I highly doubt it), he is one of the biggest a$$holes in the collecting world.

<< <i>Do you have any doubles of other auto'd Bednarik cards you could offer him if he will return your cards? >>
I've offered to give him 2 signed Bednarik cards, but he has refused thus far. He offered to send me his index card. How generous.

Some folks might be comfortable negotiating with SCUM,
but I would never do that.
I would crush the SCUM with a lawsuit.
His "prove it" comment is nonsense.
His gross admissions against interest would almost "guarantee"
a win for the plaintiff in Small Claims.
Additionally, your pre-auto scans would ID the cards.

<< <i>Care to post his email address?? >>
I'll PM it to you, but I won't post it here.

Do you have scans of the cards that prove you had them? Obviously I believe you, I'm asking so that you can use them to nail this guy. Man, I am so pissed off just reading what he wrote to you. It makes my blood boil knowing that they are creatures like this in our hobby. Unfreakinbelieveable. Sorry you've had to go through this.
Do you have scans you can show him of the Bednariks?
Did you post here about sending them to him?

If the guy who emailed you is not spoofing you,
he needs to be taken down.
..................
As noted, posts about his THIEVERY should be made EVERYWHERE.
First, make sure the email is genuine.

If some A$$HOLE is just making up the name (BRETT) and sending it to you, our emails back to this same loser will not do much good. But what the hell!

To be honest, the name sounds very familiar but I can't place where I know him from.

To hell with mail bombed.Storm is right he needs a good lawsuit to set him straight.I am sure if he is served with papers you will get the cards without having to go to court.

The first step is to find out FOR SURE if the guy who
sent the email is just spoofing.
Hi,
The image you sent doesn't really look like the one I am familiar with. I am sorry, but we are going to have to agree to disagree. Since the card is worth more than I thought and I have 5 other Bednarik autographs, I may put this one for sale on Ebay. If I do, I will send you the link and if you decide to bid, I will waive the shipping charges if you win.
Thanks,
Brett

Why do you disagree with sending him some Emails? I think many voices bring more credence than just one. Not that we should be negative or nasty, but those of us that have had positive transactions with Greg can note his honesty. It may not prove succesful, but I don't see how it would hurt.

IF the guy is just a spoofer, mail blasts will do no good.
IF the WRONG person is mass-mailed, it can harm Greg's potential
case against the real perp.
IF Greg is SURE the guy is for real, mass emailing is fine; absent any threats.

The BT emails don't ring true to me. ONLY a total idiot - or a prankster - would

Well then he is a scumbag as well.
That should give you a location of the sender.
<< <i>When someone sends you an email, can't you trace the whereabouts of the email?
That should give you a location of the sender. >>
Not really...addresses like @yahoo.com and @gmail.com are routed through the home IP of the server they're located on.
The email address is a tough one.
There's a Brett Shane Turcotte that resides in Orange Park, Florida who is 19 years old .... (904) 272-9673.
There's a Brett Allan Turcotte that resides in Austin, Texas who is 47 years old ... (512) 383-5534.
Not sure if you can use this info or not .... sorry to hear about the mess!
