Hi Chris,
Most of us already know that Joe is a great guy, as well as a quality seller.
We also know that SGC does a fantastic job of reviewing anything that they have graded.... So I guess my question is.... Why go public on the board when this could have been solved offline? I routinely email SGC, Leon, sellers, auction houses, etc about questionable items before posting anything in public, as I do not wish to call anyone out without 100% proof...
Personally, I don't think you handled this one very well, as you have no proof that the card in question used to belong to you. Sure, Mother's bread Plank's don't grow on tree's, but even I've seen more than 4-5 over the last 15 years....
Be well Brian
PS I'm not trying to slam Chris.... I'm only asking everyone to have a bit more evidence before they slam anyone in public.
