That would put an end to this.  Let's see if JJJ takes you up on that offer?

You want my ebay ID? Gee, I wonder how that would work out for me? I don't need a magic 8-ball to figure out my future on ebay after that.

No one here that actually knows what they’re talking about thought that DD was sidelined. Most people familiar with the business for many years are well aware of KSH and figure it to be one of many avenues he uses to go about his ‘business’. 

+1 Then I'm not the first to think of this. Sales on 1 or many more venues other than KellySH on ebay. Why the heck was my stating this same train of thought considered suspicious? It's not only possible. It's probable, considering how many selling resources there are on the net.   

And then, say you're a seller that doesn't mind dealing with the  if it puts cash in your pocket if you're netting an extra grand or more, or much more per month, Maybe there are sellers that are selling his items and taking a commission or partnering up with him that full well know exactly who they are dealing with and just don't care? And maybe the items are 100% legit, all pro graded. 

Please tell me that somebody else here other than Satan thinks of these obvious possibilities.

You have to see the position we're in-youve shown incredible investigative detective skills here on the boards but when it comes to Cupcak gosh you just cant see anything wrong there.  Its like believing sherlock holmes couldnt solve encycopedia brown puzzles.

You needed me to tell you about Cupcak? What could I have possibly added? Was it a big mystery that he was a scammer, just waiting for me to solve? Or was he fully baked, a dead duck by the time I started posting here. You needed me to pour the gravy? What did you want me to investigate that hasn't been covered. 

Outta' here for now. I actually have to go to work. Please gather up the accusations and I'll reply when I return.

-all possibilities of him being a bigshot and not suspicious in his ebay sales of raws.
You didnt posit any possibilities of him being a broken down loser and a scammer.
It was a glowing review of sorts.

Not even of sorts. he could be a broken man. One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. Penniless. Helpless. Miserable. No polo ponies. Has to roll his own cigarettes and eat dog food. That's possible too. But with hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory on ebay, I thought that it's far more possible that he sells elsewhere too rather than possible that he's penniless and broken and praying for a quick demise. Don't you think?

I dont understand what you mean.
Anyone who was thinking clerly that wasnt you would say they were you?

Why would I admit it to him in an ebay message and then come back here and say I'm not KellySH? This is nuts that we keep going over the same old thing from different angles. Whether the angle changes or not, it's the same old thing. If I'm KellySH, where is my message from Domo? And Ireplied toa message I can't receive because I can't sign in to someone else's account. And then ifmIadmitted it to Domo that I am, why am I back here denying ever receiving a message that I can't possibly receive because I cant sign in to KellySH's account? This thinking should be clear.

He would defend himself as a legit bigshot.

And I did that? How? By opening eyes to more possibilities? 

On 11/3/2021 at 8:06 PM, kav said:

This is actually the best evidence you are not Cupcak/KSH-no way he would reply like that.

But how does this help when this is the only possible answer that anyone thinking clearly could answer with?

My last sale on ebay ended with someone claiming a CGC 9.6 book I sold them had been cracked out and replaced with a lower grade because there was no way the received book was 9.6

Whether that person was mistaken because of being misinformed, or trying to scam a return, I stopped using ebay

That's what stops me

Nothing will stop Dupcak because that ego will simply not allow it

Why would your buying experience on ebay stop you from selling on ebay? Two different things.

"Man Cupcak could have been a big shot"
"How do you know he' not?  And his selling only raws on ebay isnt suspicious-maybe he sells slabs elsewhere-and maybe he-"

You gotta admit it sounds like something Cupcak would say.

I don't know what things he would say look or sound like.

I decided enough is enough and sent a message through Ebay earlier today to kellyssuperheroes.

I asked him point blank if he was James J Johnson on the CGC message boards and he just replied back that he was.

I'm not sure where we go from here......but it feels a little awkward.

 

Good for him. But if I'm supposed to be the KellySH you messaged, I sure didn't get the message or reply to it. And if I'm him, why would I reply and admit it, then come back here and say I never got the message because I'm not KellySH? Logic is a rare commodity here. What a horrible was to test to see my reaction. Like Carl said in Slingblade,"It ain't got no gas in it".

He said the biggest dealer in the hobby. Not a big shot. But face it. everything I right is seen under the lens of KellySH, "That's exactly what he would say" even if the stretch is an impossible leap. 

Would it be better to turn off half of my brain and say, "Ebay has to be the only place he would sell. I'm sure of it". He couldn't possibly have other resources. It's impossible"? 

On 11/3/2021 at 7:49 PM, Dr. Dank said:

Guess so, if you're Dupcak

So Only if I'm Dupcak. That's the only way I can think that he may have selling resources well beyond simply the ebay ID we know about? I'm actually flabbergasted that nobody else thinks like that here. Do you sell on ebay? If you wanted to sell on ebay, and also every other platform on the net, what would be to stop you from doing just that?

On 11/3/2021 at 7:38 PM, kav said:

Not really-we all thought his wings were clipped.  But laying it all like that it sounded like-well.......

So his can be the only wings selling merchandise? How many years is he in the business? People in business make connections. Associations. It helps when $$$ is involved. Most smart businessmen have a lot of different irons in different fires and share many beds with other businessmen. This is a revelation to all about business? It's not possible that KellyS sells raw on ebay, or ebay and elsewhere, and slabbed through majors? Comics, cards, signed cards, original art, etc., all submitted and sold by aliases through the grading services for that area either in partnership or for commission? Why am I the only one here that is looking through a keyhole? And I have to have a big ego to see what may be the big picture?

There is a gigantic ego behind that facade 

Not really. It's ridiculous to think that it's not possible. You don't solve great puzzles by thinking inside the box only. What I wrote is impossible?

Nobody else thinks of these things? That's the first thing that came to my mind when I read "He could have been the champ". My first thought, "How does he know that he isn't?"

It was strange to us in 2005 when Robojo sold ‘9.8’ and ‘9.9’ keys on eBay, but didn’t deal in or use CGC.

We’ve seen this movie before.

But whatever the movie is, if it's made in 2005 I'm not part of that cast. I joined in 2017. Am I really expected to be up on threads 12 years removed? I should hope not. I can count the times I've used the search engine on one hand, and up until this past week, not at all.

" he would have been THE BIGGEST dealer in the hobby today.

How do you know he's not? How do you know that he hasn't been selling through all the major auction houses under aliases for decades? Other names, other addresses, how would they know? Submitting to CGC, PSA, PSA/DNA, etc. through aliases? How do you know where else he may sell other than ebay? How do you know he doesn't just sell comics, but autographs, sportscards, non sportscards, original art and much more? Are we quite sure that ebay seller KellySH is his only resource to sell?

He gave us a thesis worthy of a masters in Post Office shipping and delivery using eBay to prove that the Dazzler 1 (effing Dazzler 1!) Joe Peck bought couldn’t have come from KSH but is too stupid to not make the KSH/Dupcak connection and call that out for what it is?  Um, yeah.  Ok.  
 

I can make the connection. When I refer to KellySH, I'm referring to all. But since it's KellySH listings I've referenced in the majority of my posts, I think it's easier just to write KellySH than KellySH/KSH/Danny/Cupcak/Cupack/Hemmer/etc., etc. each and every time. By writing KellySH instead of writing out all the names here all of you use, I am referring to that "all the same" entity falling under the KellySH umbrella. That said, what would you like me to do? Use the 25 different names and spellings I've seen in this thread, or jst refer to KelySH since that is the entitiy on ebay and may be less confusing and easier to write than the 25 different names separated by forward slashes?

If Dupcak's still roided out we may struggle with those. 

 

How you feeling, JJJ, mate? 

I feel great, thank you for asking.

Tonfulle-known forger-gets excoriated
Cupcak-known forger-'dont know him as a person-nothing bad to say'

You may not see any current Cupcak forgeries so you 'dont know anything about him' and 'cant comment'.
No way to like, check his past or anything.

So again if tonfulle stops posting forgeries and just stuff you see as legit, you wont have anything bad to say about him?

His autographs were excoriated. Not him, personally. Would you like for me to excoriate KellySH's autogrpahs, that IMHO are all legit.

They're listed. Ask Beckett or PSA for quick opinions. If any come back as probably not authentic, we'll both excoriate him, how's that? But if you do that, and seek that secind opinion through Beckett or PSA, I think you're going to be very disappointed with the results of them being deemed probably authentic. Try it. Ask about 1 or two. $10 per opinion. Just send them the item number and $10 and they'll give you their opinion. If any are fake, I'll seek him out and nuke him with you, how about it? 

And to be  most accurate, I stated that the Dimaggio may be a TTM secretarial signing for him in the 1970s, a common mistake for an autograph seller to make with TTM autos (through the mail)..
