You're an attorney, Peter. Isn't that hearsay?

Sure, but if I were prosecuting this case I would have the invoice and the direct testimony of the source. So in effect I am vouching for what I could prove if I had the same abilities to secure evidence in an actual case. And anyhow Brent's failure to deny when confronted also might be independently admissible as an admission.

Are you saying, David, that you don't believe me? I guess you must not since you keep this up. Do you really think I am going to come on here and lie about what I was told, or about the reliability of the source?

Peter, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I believe you may have been given false information. You still have no hard evidence that Brent won the card at REA, other than what people have told you. Do you think that just because enough people tell you something that it's true?

On the other hand, Cortney has said (and these are direct quotes), "Brent won it in REA (yes, that is highly documented)" and "I'll continuously oblige anyone who's paying attention with some new facts and "hard" evidence."

OK, so oblige me. Where's this "highly documented" "hard evidence" that Brent bought it at REA? He said he has a screen shot. Either I'm overlooking it (and if I am please point me to it) or he hasn't posted it.

David I am telling you my source is absolutely reliable, among the most respected figures in this hobby. I am not going to give him up right now. Use your common sense. Brent and Betsy have been waging a PR campaign to try to counter Cortney's assertions about shill bidding. Without commenting on that issue, don't you think if Brent hadn't bought the SGC 50 they would have denied that? Au contraire, they essentially admitted it by pointing out that they sometimes buy cards for clients. Go back and read their posts.
