After a few weeks he gave up on the cert but was confident that the Aaron was real and the Mantle clubhouse.
Wow...and after several pages of going back and forth with me about how the Mantle had to be real because the Aaron was real and that some "real" Mantles looked like that because not all look like the fancy ones you see from shows.
I'm wondering how, after a few weeks of not finding the cert, he suddenly had the revelation that the Mantle was a clubhouse? Some things just make you go hmmmm.

I find it interesting too, and hmmmm worthy, that someone who never posted before appears on the board with his first and only post, and states what he states.

What do you find hmmm worthy? I'm not defending his actions I was just sharing my experience. He sold me the ball originally under false pretenses (that it was signed by both Aaron and Mantle) which is wrong but in the end he righted it for me. Obviously had I not discovered the forum or done much research I would have probably found out years later that the ball was not what I expected it to be and been really angry.

My situation was unique but in the end so is everyone's, if I had paid thousands of dollars for a Babe Ruth that was fake I would be livid. And potential future customer should be aware of his actions. He obviously has not reacted to this situation appropriately and after reading through this forum I have made a personal decision not to do business with him again in the future. But I am satisfied with the experience that I had with him.

Richard - I love ya and always appreciate your help, but I gotta agree with Dan (the new poster) on this one.

People find this board all the time by just googling and if we were never going to let new posters on the forum, then Leon should just close down registration right now. Hey, we all got to start with our first post somewhere, right? I see nothing fishy with Dan coming on this thread with what he said.

There was a Southern philosopher who years ago said something about "suspicious minds" , I guess I am just naturally a skeptic when it comes to some internet forum postings.
Mr. S,,,,,,, if I am mistaken in my earlier premise, where I had expressed doubts about your story, then I do apologize.

In Richard's defense, he's not the only one who found the posting odd. The timing of the post was what stood out to me since another post had started up at almost the same time (questioning whether Mr. Prisco had re-dubbed himself and moved operations to eBay), which made me think this was meant to be a distraction. I only held my tongue because, as the gentleman's second post pointed out, he didn't paint Mr. Prisco in a totally favorable light.

Again, could just be coincidence, and my apologies to Mr. S if that is the case, but it did seem odd. Guess we're just a bunch of armchair conspiracy theorists...

Leon,
Or anyone, has there been any new info on Frank Prisco? Anybody found guilty in a lawsuit for typing derogatory comments on "swell" guy Frank? Dear Ms. Brown esq., Frank stole money from me years back, he kept my money and NEVER delivering the goods. I'm no expert on law but is it ok for a person to do that??

edited to add: Just curious, can anyone advertise a business on the PSA site as long as they're shown the money or is a background check done first? This is a serious question.
