I just got a call from Scott Norris. I am told that this is a father - son situation that went a bit awry. The father and son have different last names but the same first name.. The son is the one that didn't get back with me. The dad, wanting to keep his son in the loop, used his son's email address last night. But I just confirmed a lot of information and feel comfortable now in letting both back on the board. There are 2 Mantles, one graded and one not graded. The non-graded one is being sold raw and is guaranteed to grade numerically, I am told. So after about a 20 minute phone call with the Dad apologizing for his son, I think we are good to go. It is still caveat emptor, as always, so please be careful.

PS....for safety on this deal, I will be happy to be an intermediary for shipping the card and money.....if anyone wants to do the deal that way, I will help.....

Did the dad write both emails for both users? Those emails both use the same phrasing.

That didn't go unnoticed. I am still not 100% sure of this whole fiasco. That being said I had him on speaker phone, with my wife listening too, and every question I threw at him, he answered without hesitation and with an answer that is plausible. My wife said she thought he sounded legit. Like I say, I just report it as I see it. Everyone always needs to be careful in transactions, regardless of my or anyone's intervention or involvement.
