The nice thing about paper, is the SN, you can&#039;t easily pull these games with paper, which is partly why he got caught so fast. The other reason he was tripped up was due to his lack of knowledge for how many examples of that note are known to exist and thinking he could get one by on the collectors here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Call it what you will, but his reputation here is now suspect to me from here on. Had he prefaced that the image of the note was not his own, and simply expressed his desire and aspiration to make this note his (conceptually) most&nbsp; prized note or just generally written that he admires the note, even&nbsp; if he doesn&#039;t own it, then it would have been excusable... however he went to the effort to lift the image from CoinLink/Heritage Auctions and post it on his own Photobucket account (a copyrighted image nonetheless) in order to <i>pretend</i> the note was his own by covering the image url back to CoinLink/Heritage Auctions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look how many replies followed in favor of this note after seeing that posted, it&#039;s no wonder why, it&#039;s a marvel, a dream and a hugely important, rare and elusive note for any collector. This isn&#039;t April Fools day. His deception <u>is</u> an insult to those who have spent extensive time learning, saving and spending hard earned monies to acquire their own notes of &#039;prized&#039; status and shared them with the online forum here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
