Introducing: Manos: The Grader of Fate
Nevermind what has already been written regarding the "ethics of disclosure debate"! Forget about assessing whether to trust a grading company who has earned the reputation of making countless mistakes in rendering grades! Don't even waste your time thinking about trusting an Ebay seller with an unimpressive feedback rating coupled with the fact he has virtually unknown card grading credentials plus the shameless issue of having a pecuniary interest in the sale of the card in question! What's really important that something truly momentous has spawned out of this hobby fiasco that could change the face of sportscard collecting forever!
Anyone who is a fan of the truly awful early 1950's to late 1960's campy horror cinema genre or watched Mystery Science Theater 3000 knows about the most dreadful movie ever put on film: Manos: The Hands of Fate.  For those of not familiar with this film, check out the Rotten Tomatoes Reviews: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mano...hands-of-fate/ Now through the inspiration of the above mentioned cinematic catastophy, what our esteemed Net54 member Jim Manos has just achieved could generate a whole new concept in Ebay auctions: "Manos: The Grader of Fate". As we all have observed, for some imponderable reason, people will spend vast amounts of money to watch horror movies that will frighten them beyond reason. The Ebay auction referenced in this thread is only the beginning! An on-going series of auctions can be devised where sportscard collectors bid on "questionable" cards graded both by Manos and PSA that will most assuredly subject hobbyists to a reign of utter confusion, financial destruction, abject chaos and push them to the brink of insanity. Who knows, it could trigger a reality show or even a movie sequel to Manos: The Hands of Fate. Here's my initial pitch:

I bought a card a couple of years ago from Jim, it came with tape on the card. Not disclosed.. When I emailed him he said he would take money off the next card I bought from him. I have never purchased again. he does like to flip cards.

I have had a similar buying experience where I had serious problems with the transaction and the response I got was the same "I'll take care of you in our next transaction".
Well, Mr. Verkman, as you know there has been no future transactions and will never be. All you are ever getting from me is reminders of your bad customer service and not fulfilling your end of an auction transaction. It appears Mr. Manos falls under this category. Lee Behrens
