Offered to sell me a psa 10 fleer Jordan RC for $1000. I asked for a scan and he stopped communicating.

    Thanks for the heads up. He just pm'd me saying he had a 76 Erving Psa 9 if I was interested.

    It may just be an honest typo. But the way he reached out to me, his third grade typing style, his new account, his account icon and the rapid communication until I asked for a scan, then nothing.. my BS detector went haywire. There could absolutely be a reasonable explanation for it all. That is why I said "watch out" and not to storm the tower and bludgeon him.

    He sent me two scans, PSA case cropped on both. Sent another of a PSA 10 and it was apparent they were three totally different Jordans. After he sent me his name/address, and a little internet research, it became apparent he has issues. Proceed with caution, friends.

    He just contacted me as well on a 2009 Topps Heritage Jeter variation I've been searching for. He sent me a PayPal address and offered to sell me the card below my asking price. No scan, however. Earlier I had issues with someone by the name of Greg Washington and this was reminiscent of that experience. Maybe it's on the level, but I proceed with extreme caution. Please share your experiences with this seller.

    His name is Shawn and I did a search. The info he provided is legit, but check it out for yourself to determine if you would like to do business with this individual.

    $1000 for a PSA 10 Fleer MJ rc? I think I would have known right then with no further investigation needed that something was up. ;)

    Asked him why his asking prices are so cheap and he said he's not in it for the money and just wants to help fellow collector's out.

    Asked for the cert number of the card he tried to sell me & it's already in someone's basic set. He got the number because it is pictured. Truly pathetic.

    Has anyone contacted a moderator? The only time I did, it took them a while to get back to me, so I doubt they are actively reading this board looking for issues.

    Stops communicating? i am a single dad with 2 teenage sons, one of which broke his arm at football prac last week. Anyway i sent sent scans of front and back as well as the Certification Number. I have all the PM's. He claimed to be sending me a cashier's check for $2500 not $1000. Is he trying to scam me? Because that was not what we agreed to??

    As for hearing of me on Beckett forums i was never a member there....

    And i dont believe i need to keep defending myself...

    Lous27, yes in your defense you did start communicating after a stoppage. And yes, I did say I was hoping to mail out a $2500 cashier's check. But as a single guy with no kids and no arms to account for other than my own, I am very busy and am unable to make it to the post office. How about you leave these forums for good and we'll call it square? Thank you.

    Hi everyone,

    As I've mentioned before, I have several responsibilities at PSA and I don't have the luxury of perusing the boards all day. We do our best collectively to deal with issues, but sometimes it does take a few days to get caught back up. If you have an issue, you can PM, email webmaster@collectors.com, or call 800-325-1121 to be transferred over and we will respond. If you do so during show days or holidays, yes -- expect some delays.

    To respond to the above, we first have to remind you that PSA is not here to moderate private sales. If you conduct business with each other on this board, you are doing so at your own discretion.

    However, I will also take note of the various complaints that have been made. If someone appears to be an issue, then we will take action and eliminate the problem as we want this board to be peaceful.

    I know some of you disagree with some of our decisions, and that is fine. You don't have to agree or disagree with us. You just have to follow the rules and be polite and respectful to everyone (including us) if you wish to remain on this board.

    Sincerely,
    Jackie
