Re: What percentage of collectors are "saps"?
It baffles me how someone could bid serious money on any item coin or otherwise without doing some research first. With the Internet help and advice is not at all hard to get.

1916 SLQ. Guy actual believes it.
https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/clt/d/sale-price-1916-standing/6382015197.html Most of the time a post like this is an obvious scammer. Sadly I think this guy is actually just not very bright OR a novice who can't accept he has a fake. I tried to explain this is a fake: and a bad one. He refuses to believe it. Sad. -

Re: Better to buy 52' Mantle in SGC holder vs. PSA? >>>
I feel you can't go wrong with either grader. Check the sides out of the cases of both of them. I have seen fake cards in SGC cases as well, but they didn't start out that way. The scammers have gotten pretty good with making up cases and flips. -
Re: When describing a raw card as the seller, do you use PSA standards?
I agree with the first couple of guys. Find a good scanner and simply load the cards. Keeps opinions out of it. If you start "grading" your own cards you'll end up with complainers or scammers trying to get some of their money back and still hold onto the cards. It's not worth it. -

Re: Crack and Sell Raw. Ethical???
Kick it up a notch. Scammer buys a SGC 70. Cracks it and sells it raw. Doubles his money. Knows that it won't crossover worth a crap, but knows newbees are looking for a steal.

Re: Makes you go Hmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????
Another scammer gone,but he'll pop up again or one like him. I wonder how many people have been scammed or better yet how many $'s have been lost to scams on ebay?? I thought ebay was monitoring the listings better now? -
Re: Attempt to scam someone using manofcoins' coin- UPDATE
I had the same thing happen to me when I bid on one of John Maben's coins. I strung the scammer along for a few emails over a few days letting him think that I was going to send cash ($1200) via Western Union to him in Spain.
