I got screwed over on the BST today!

Thank you for perpetuating the stereotype that everyone that deals in sports cards is just like the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons.

I'd be upset as the buyer as well but I hope I'm not the only one that finds posting PM's troubling.

On most message boards I belong it's against the TOS to post private messages in the public forum.

I don't find it troubling whatsoever. I think as much information as possible is needed.

What I find troubling is that there have been other problems in the past with the same seller, but this is the first time it's been mentioned. These are the kinds of things that the board should know about so we can make wise informed purchasing decisions.

posting PMs is wrong (has been called out on other threads before) as is calling someone and IDIOT in a thread. Packs handled that admirably.

[vintagetoppsguy]

Posting of PMs is permissible in "extraordinary circumstances" as stated in the rules. I think when a member gets screwed over it's an "extraordinary circumstance"as it doesn't happen that often, but that's just my opinion.

Sometimes people make allegations and the only proof for or against them are in PMs.....not fair to not allow in those situations.....or in situations when someone says one thing then they appear to change their mind even though were defending an initial position.....

Conveniently left out your insults directed at me because of my harmless opinion on a baseball card transaction. Cool.

And off topic, any luck getting Mr. Culp to come on up for one of my shows. Eddie has a photo of him (not a great one as he is in a windbreaker) but we got something. ANd we'll obviously be able to come up with cards.

Let me know and see you next month.
