<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1335908, member: 31533"]Yes, from what I've read on CT there are people who have gotten burned. He sells with nary a mention that he's purchased a note for say 100-400 $, works his artistic talent on and about two or three weeks later, sells it as if it was authentically in that condition for anywhere from a 1-3,000 or more. He makes no real attempt from what I've seen to change any serial numbers, and although you can't track the provenance of all his bills, there are a few that you can. They certainly can go from a low to middling grade to high quality very fast. And he's good at fixing pinholes, faded paper, etc. He irons and cuts also, as neccessary (trims edges if he can). It is artistic, but IMO very unfair to the actual collector who thinks they are getting the real McCoy as far as being in pristine or near pristine condition. I'm surprised as well that there's not been more of an outcry, but ???? I don't know why that's happening.
