Any thoughts on the best way to handle this situation? FYI, please see my previous post "Help Requested | 1933 Goudey #92 Lou Gehrig."

Here is his email to me, received just a few hours ago.

Generally speaking it's against forum rules to post emails without consent of all parties but I think for the moment I am going to make an exception. regards

This sounds like outright fraud to me, and I know if I had lost $4K to someone and he tried going to the well again for more money, I would have the authorities involved.

A legit seller of such high-end cards would NEVER resort to these tactics to sell them; there should definitely be law enforcement brought in to deal with this guy.

I replied that I would be interested in talking to him tomorrow and that I would like to receive scans of the cards referenced. Will keep the boards posted on what happens next.
