Frosting

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
Every now and again, a member here will wonder if the holder is ok due to some frosting. Sometimes the slabs I receive directly from PSA freshly graded have frosting. And these tips from PSA are very helpful in determining if a holder has been compromised. Usually it's pretty darn easy to tell, if not in the pics, certainly in person.

And then there's FROSTING!!!

    Ouch.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I thought Russian sellers were known for never selling questionable sports memorabilia?

    Wow-- the scammer could at least have put in a modicum of effort. Poor form!

    I guess someone has to test the limits of the EBAY buyer protection rules.

    I thought the small strip of paper proving that he owns the counterfeit was a nice touch.

    Good thing there's nothing suspicious in the biding pattern. I'm rooting for the guy who dropped out after $0.99, anything more than that for a PSA5 Mantle rookie is just too much.

    It sure was easy to concentrate on the subject at hand when it was just an old timber wolf.

    That is true. I gotta give him props for that. Totally missed that aspect.

    A Russian official came up to a factory worker and said, "If you drank a shot of vodka, could you still work?" The worker said, "I think I could." The official said, "If you drank two shots of vodka, could you work?" The worker said, "I think I could." Then the Russian official said, "If you drank five shots of vodka, could you work?" And the worker said, "Well, I'm here, aren't I?"

    Wasn't there another Russian seller that tried to sell fake Mantles on Ebay several months ago. I hope you all are taking time to report the auction.

    Ha...

    If I was to go further down your line of thinking there might be a joke there, me being from Arkansas and all, but I better just leave some meat on the bone image
