You're just trying to tempt me to buy it from you. And it's not working. But seriously, let's keep this thread positive because the hobby deserves it.

Jeff- Please answer my question about all of the bad dealings you have had with those you mentioned. If your post was serious, and I was mistaking, please let me know. It's sometimes hard to tell. If you don't say anything then you have said plenty and I would appreciate you putting a sock in your piehole, if that is the case.

Who would have thought that it wouldn't be until 2010 that a card which has 5 corners would be discovered? I thought my pointing that out was being positive, no? New discoveries, such as these, can only foster more interest in collecting cards.

By the way, can anyone suggest who I should contact at SGC to get them to pedigree the flip?

I'm going to send this thread to Mike O'Keeffe. It's important that he write about the good stuff in the hobby instead of the few bad apples who ruin it for the rest of us.

Returning to the merits of the card, I am not an expert but it certainly appears to me from the front scan that there is a piece propped up behind the corner for the purpose of making the corner look square that now seems to have moved off at an angle. In my opinion, at the very least there is sufficient doubt about alteration that SGC should have stepped up to the plate and honored its guaranty, and I am surprised that they did not.

I'm not an expert on alteration; however, I suppose Greg would have been well-served to have looked at the card under a loupe before buying it. But who would travel out of state for a 2K card?
