So does that mean the guy who turned his $5 card into a Mattingly, or the one who turned it to a Ryan, or the one who turned it to a Miggy Auto which later somehow became a Mantle, etc all cheated too?

You calling a lot of members shady when you make these comments man. There were at least 40 traders involved in making this competition happen. Many of which are highly respected traders. You may be digging a grave here with these comments.

For you to accuse me because I won is crazy. Especially since I offered in week one to not keep any winnings because for me it was about the fun. I should also mention the competition was not even my idea. I was asked to run it and agreed.

Guys like you are what made this site what it was for me to begin with. A class act who just simply wants to build a nice collection and be fair with others in doing so. I never expected to see eye to eye with everyone but I always expected to be considered an honest trustworthy person. If even one person doesn't trust me I take that every personal.

Good luck to you man. I hope others see in you what I did and continue to send to Canada. It's worth any extra cost to trade with a guy like you.

Again, it all comes back to not really "cheating" I never used that word, I just think we develop relationships with traders and become friends. The guy who submitted the Ozzie Smoth RC got it from me, he told me it was for a competition, I never in my life would had traded an Ozzie RC for a Andy Van Slyke Refractor in my life, but I had 3 of them and had a good trade history with him, so I hooked it up.

These are the kind of things I am referring too, but who is to stop it from happening on a bigger scale?

Cheating is a very harsh word, which is why I never used it. I just think that sometimes we are inclined to help our friends by human nature as the original poster I agreed with mentioned.

Again, this is too petty to deal with. I am sorry if I came off like a dick at any point. I mean that, but I still stand by my opinions and won't be participating in any competition like this unless it is run by Beckett themselves... It's nothing personal to anybody here, sometime you just gotta look out for #1.

On another note, I would appreciate it if you didn't leave the boards, we can agree to disagree, but it was never my intention to get you to leave. We are all here to have fun. We don't see eye to eye often and that is fine, I will stay out of your business, and try to avoid you, if you give me the same respect.
