Perhaps someone should get all the victims together and start a dialog with Jack and Gary about what is going on? I would think if enough people contact them they will move in order to keep customers coming back rather than lose business in a hobby that has thin ranks already.

Well at the risk of starting a bon fire. I read what was posted by Micro and he indeed ask for PF's, original used/damaged or NOS; however, later he only states that "used or damaged will be kept". The post never mentions specifically NOS PF's again only damaged or used which to me indicates he had no intention of keeping a PF that is NOS, "undamaged or used". Ask yourself who would send a perfectly good NOS PF to him to keep, only expecting to receive (even if perfect) a repro PF??? The Nos would be worth much more in a game than any repro ever would. Compare buying any muscle car or anything else, original is king to vintage and plays a vital role in value. I think he is welching on his promises, IMHO. If anyone thinks it's a good deal to get a repro in place of a NOS in comparable shape, I may have a couple repro BG's I'd like to trade for comparable NOS's....what a deal!

Might be better to pressure where you purchase, get your distributer to alert Stern and JJP about what this guy is doing. I'd like to think the distributers are the heartbeat of the industry and people listen to what they have to say.

I can't agree with any part of that as being equitable.... First who in their right mind would trade a NOS PF for a Repro? Okay so the NOS may get scratched. All I can say to this is that you have just sent this to a PF producer, they CC as part of their everyday business model! So they lightly sand it, CC, buff and send it back. The hardest thing I'm having to understand is how many have posted stating they'd except a repro in place of the NOS, somebody help me with this.

So under your definition allowing someone to use your car (albeit on loan) as you say, would not constitute theft if they just decide to not return your vehicle all because you loaned it to them of your own free will. Perhaps not theft in the car case but certainly a crime even if just joy riding. I have a hard time with that premise.

Proof is in the pudding so there isn't more to say until someone is contacted and told it's shipping.

I was wondering the same but it may take longer because I think it's coming from across the pond correct?

Perhaps the purchase you made was the difference, if you did them at the same time (transaction)
