Assuming the auction is not still in the 15 minute rule and Bill ends up having won it, I have heard JP would be willing to drive to pick up a cash payment.

Greg, there are no cash payments in the hobby. Such payments would suggest that perhaps sellers might not have records of their sales and might be hiding such information from the IRS. When I was at the National no one would accept cash and checkbooks and credit cards were being flashed left and right. I'm sure that JP and the rest of the dealers out there wouldn't want to have an IRS problem.

Jeff you mean if a dealer, like JP, were carrying around a duffel bag of cash at a show he would not just take it to the bank to deposit it to his account?

It is indeed a perplexing decision when to regard someone who for past indiscretions and has paid their "debt to society" to be considered trustworthy.
Fortunately, Professional Sports Authenticators, (PSA), the guardians and protectors of sports hobbyists for corruption, fraud and all other nefarious activities brings clear and concise moral guidance to these issues. JP Cohen is a PSA Authorized Dealer. According to PSA's rigorous and stringent standards for authorized dealers, one critieria that must be met is that an "Applicant and key employees must not have been convicted of a felony in the past five years". http://www.psacard.com/about/faq.chtml#faqid71 Can anyone here enlighten me why it's 5 years and not 4 or 6 or 10? What happens at 5 years that makes someone trustworthy beyond reproach? I do rest at ease recalling Collector Universe president and PSA founder David Hall's famous quote, "We are dedicated to protecting collectibles consumers from fraud and misrepresentation in any form. We also fervently value our brand name. We will continue to work to protect collectors, and our own reputation, zealously." |

Dan it's probably somewhat arbitrary but I also wonder how rigorously it's enforced?
