This no longer a joke

I enjoy reading and learning about vintage cards here. I have not been on much the last 2 weeks because of the "Koos" saga. Can we all not find something more educational to talk about. The bottom line is that no matter how much everyone -itches at Koos, the fact remains he will not back down. He has a right to sell a 3rd party graded card WITHOUT any legal recourse (we all know that) whether PRO slabbed it or SGC slabbed. Yes, I think I personally would stay away and yes I would not bid on Koos' auctions, but the guy is not out of line as far as his auction. I think he has a 'potty' mouth at times, but he is being mobbed. If you don't like it, don't bid on it....plain and simple. I bet everyone here on this board atleast once has sold or bought "junk" on ebay. I can find 99 out of 100 auctions on ebay that consist of fake autographed memorabilia....those are the real crooks. Go after them. PRO auctions speak for themselves. There is a reason it is slabbed by PRO and not SGC or PSA. I own PSA and BGS(BVG) trimmed cards as well. The Mantle does not look trimmed to me, but I would not put anything past PRO. Give this guy his space. You all are focusing energy in a dead end road. Koos- Good luck with the Mantle. Some of you people have too much time on your hands. Go get a work out in! A weight room does good for frustration. Some of you are heading for coronary disease before 50 I am afraid!
