When you offered to trade him a lower grade card for his higher grade card, was it straight up or did you also offer cash along with the lower grade card?

It never got that far because he stopped responding, but yes I would have included cash. His end was all about keeping the set, not about the grade or at least that wasn't the impression I got from him. I'll clarify by saying I did offer cash, but it never got to an amount because he stopped the conversation.

In the USA, people are allowed to own private property. He can refuse any offer for any reason without explaining anything.

You seem to think you have a better understanding of his collection, and what matters to him (just having the set complete with some cards in lower grade) than he himself does. You don't - he gets to collect as he chooses.

He said no thanks. That's his right, and he's not being unreasonable. If you want to obtain cards, it's a better plan to find people who want to sell, rather than complain because you can't pry a card out of someone's collection who doesn't want to trade/sell.

Lucky for you, we only got about halfway down page #2 before we gave up.

So you did NOT actually offer cash alongside the card, because he stopped responding after you offered a lower grade copy.

Now it makes sense why this relevant fact wasn't part of the original telling

Yes cash and card were offered. You're relevant fact conspiracy gotcha is just that. I offered cash then a card to help what he wanted. A complete set.

The offer is irrelevant. You could have offered a million dollars, and there is nothing wrong with the collector declining and keeping his card. You have no right to it in the slightest, and it doesn't hurt the hobby that he doesn't want to sell. Call people stupid all you want. It's clear here who that applies to.

If you share with us the card(s) you are looking for, perhaps a fellow board member has one available in the grade you are looking for?

Anything Verne or Vern Clemons. I have 2 - 1923 Willard Chocolates V100 PSA 5.5 and a 5. I also have a raw 1922 W573 strip card. The colgan's and Curtis Ireland will probably never be had. I need a E120 V61 type 1 and 2. I think that's all he had. I buy anything related.

For Jerry Mehlisch he has 1 card, and it was made in 1953 for the Fargo Moorhead Twins. Jerry had the card and he was kind enough to give me a photo of it so. I could try to locate one. I buy anything related. I also buy anything Clemons Iowa related. I'll share a few photos of items I have found.
