<p>[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1017519, member: 2972"]p.s. I like Shane, I really do, but let's be real about experience level. Shane's no expert, or I'm William Sheldon. Shane is a relatively new collector who has branched out to selling low-end toners on eBay in the past, what, two years? I remember meeting him at FUN 2007. While I will not reveal the topic of our discussion (I remember it well), it was pretty evident at the time he was just learning the ropes (as was I). That's taking nothing away from him or his experience/skill, or the quality of his posts, but rather simply suggesting that there's more than a bit of truth in GDJMSP's post:</p><p><br /></p><p>"People have to be careful about who they give credit to based on postings in coin forums.
