I agree!!!

Larry,

PSA reviewed the card to determine if it was authentic or not ( a fake ). That is all PSA did. They did not regrade the card. The card was graded years ago so there is no need to regrade the card, and PSA applied a new label ( as evident with the PSA hologram ) and holder. The registration number did not change.

You've been on the board for a number of years and know that grading is subjective. We have all seen cards graded 5's that should be 7's, and 7's that should be 5's.

What ever the case, the card graded what it did at the time.

Mike has a nice PSA 6 Aaron, that MOST of us would love to have.

He appears to have gone above and beyond to relieve any doubt about the cards authenticity.

Obviously you are completely unaware of the actual situation...NOBODY claimed the card wasnt real
And it was not sent in for that purpose..if it was sent in at all..which i doubt...PSA GRADING GUARANTEE....read it...since hes selling the card anyway psa would happily give him current market value if they made a grading error....if there is someone on this board who believes that card is exmt....i have many many baseball cards in that condition id like to sell for exmt prices....

Why would you doubt that this card was sent back in to PSA? Even after it resides in the new holder with a brand new flip? Even though Mike was never mentioned in the OP, he has been since and the back story made public, and you are still accusing him of not being upfront and honest - time to apologize.

He did not grade the card. PSA did.

At this point, the grade is not the issue. PSA graded the card, reholdered the card, and it is what it is.

You can't passively state "there may be a fake PSA 6 up for sale on the board". That's just shenanigans and in absolute poor character; not becasue you posted it, but becasue you won't stand behind your accusation. Just becasue you didnt directly point it out, does not mean you are not 100% implying that that is the particular card that you are referring to. The only credence is that you only stated that it could be a fake (becasue you have zero proof that it is). In that case, I think that you are justified in trying to solve your doubts and relay them, but you better be able to walk the walk and you are now playing dumb.

You called him out, so now you have to either prove it, or at least say that you can't.

How would you like it if someone said:
"There may or may not be a 52 Mantle SGC 6 floating around the boards that is most likely a fake. The price may or may not have been dropped a half dozen times. If said card and post existed, it's obviously not being sold becasue it is probably a fake.".
I'm sure you would be pissed as just the slightest amount of doubt in the authenticity of a card with turn off any buyer.

In one hand, pointing out possible counterfeits/fakes/scams is important. However, you can't be frivolously doing it (not saying that you were). What does need to happen though, is when you have been proven wrong, you need to make it right and say that you were wrong; not cower behind your keyboard and playing ignorant and dumb.

im still waiting for the proof
he is refusing to show his receipt for sending in the card for review
instead he shows a probable fake email.....if you send in a card for review they get it just like any submission...look at it and send it back....an apology email?..and they dont reholder for free...that card would be an additional 35 for reholder
if his story is true...then with the reholdered card he received a copy of the invoice and receipt
lets see it
as for the flips...aaron rookies ruths and mantles are the most common cards being switched...people should be on the lookout.....that card is 3 grades off
thats sets off a red flag....doesnt mean the flip is fake....but id be cautious

Still waiting for proof? Mike doesn't owe you anything. I would have told you to f off a long time ago and mind your own business. He has chosen to take the high road and has shown a lot of class in the way he has handled your ridiculous accusations. Perhaps you could learn something from his example.

The apology email appears to be simply for a delay in responding.

The card has clearly been reholdered. The fee for this service is $7, not 35, for a card with a declared value under 5k. Whether or not you feel the card is over graded is irrelevant. I think your sgc 6 Mantle with major centering and tilt issues is over priced and over graded. But I wouldn't start a thread about it.

Why should you need to see a copy of the invoice and receipt when he's posted the before and after flip pics of the card? You'd have to be blind as a bat to not see that they are the exact same card in two different pics; one without the hologram and one with. They are the same card and the hologram proves that he resubmitted the card.

Stop with the witch hunt.

reholder is the cheap part, the shipping/return shipping+ inusrance probably cost another $50

Clearly, an expert like you realizes I had 2 day Super Express service for $85, and not just a reholder. They would not label it Super Express for a simple reholder. So, there you go.

Right on, Mike. Life is too short for such unnecessary chafing.

You did the stand up thing the stand up way, and happy to hear the card was solid.

Ignore the noise, and enjoy the day

Best,

But something tells me that if Larry thought the email was fake, he'll probably think the screen shot is too. I doubt Mike will get an apology.

Agreed. Anyone ever see the "... so I'm selling it as a reprint..." qualifiers on ebay. No one had to infer anything because it was already implied.
