Message:: [QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 354221, member: 12965"]Now those are great items. Informative, well put together, and a lot of knowledge went into them. And I agree whole-heartedly, there are far worse scammers on Ebay and I do put a lot of effort into ridding it of them. I will state now, for the record, that Mr. Potter is not that low. There are people that believe a sin is a sin, no matter what the sin is. I believe that while a sin is a sin, there are different levels of sins, just as there are different levels of scams. Mr. Potter's penny is a "baby" scam while many of the scammers on Ebay do things that are MEGA scams, but even some of the major scammers offer some items of value, like Mr. Potter does. I liken Mr. Potter to celebrity endorsements, who will sell items that relate to them, all for a buck. Does his penny really add anything to our numismatic community? Can it even be called a true variety? It isn't anything more than sorted pocket change.  He should stick to doing the other wonderful things he does, because his penny is a "blimish" on his reputation. Ribbit,Toad :smile Ps: Does anyone know how old Mr. Potter is? It was over twenty years ago he sent those three pennies in. Was this nothing more than a childhood dream finally fulfilled?[/QUOTE]
