Interesting that she created an account here, dropped the bomb and never returned. She even knew enough to disable the recent visitors log / features. 

TBF all my contacts that ended up being legit also found the boards, but just never made an account (as they found my username first and reached out through other channels - such as creating social channels elsewhere to message me and only used them for that single moment) so I could see someone just dumping one post if they didn't know who to safely interact with and trust...that said, she needs to come back and seriously share the rest of those text messages. 

While lots of what she said is totally true (I believe he did buy an RV, he did sell - accident or not - a customers book which was FF52, and that AF15 pic is a customer book being shown off) us knowing the context and actual full discussion is key to how customers can proceed at this point and catch the lies that are coming from either side.

The longer a story goes, the more likely that it's false. The truth takes but a few words.

Exactly. In my professional authentication I have learned that authenticity is often inversely proportional to the length of the story. Burying in BS is a common tactic to lend false veracity.

Mike could be selling books (intentionally or accidentally) and the story is 90% troll BS. Both of these things could be true at the same time.

That's interesting. She's one smart meth-head! A crackerjack!

Any master list (and pics) should be published here so the collectors and dealers can identify and handle the books accordingly.

We might need a pinned thread with all the Master lists of comic book problems the hobby is having.

At this point, it isn't just the victims. We also should have a proactive concern for any future victimization. I would love to find out this is all a misunderstanding, but misunderstandings rarely last for 10 years. GOD BLESS ...

Yeah I was thinking we could at least have some kind of thread with a vote for 2023 Industry D-bag of the year.  

Since to two are comparable I'm going to say that Mike didn't start out to be a criminal but, in the end, he caused greater individual harm than the D-bag who started out with the intent of defrauding and swapped books.

Why am I seeing the word 'crackerjack' so often lately? Is it the cool new slang and nobody's gotten around to telling me?

That's one of those pieces of information that only certain board members know.

It's also the kind of information that we can't share with the rest of you

Plus....it's the kind of information that we want people like you to know that only a few of us know what it is.....but that you aren't allowed to know what it is.

In short......a few of us know what it is......you now know that only a few of us know what it is......but those few aren't going to tell you what it is.

Hopefully that clears things up.

It's a good thing you already have a custom title.

I believe they can be changed.

But that's something only a few of us know about.

Got to say I left the Hero thread or the original Hero thread when we were still talking about baby chickens and have been pretty much ignoring all threads in favor of the reholder thread… after getting caught up on this new thread of 32 pages I’ve come to the conclusion the reholder scam isn’t really that crazy after all. Thanks Hero Restoration for adding the perspective I needed.

For the kind of people who like that kind of thing, that’s the kind of thing that those people like.

I don't. :cry:

Custom titles are like Fight Club.  The 1st rule of getting a custom title is to not talk about a custom title.

(I don't have one either, so what do I know?) :sorry:
