Maybe George, but at least when he ran the Twitter account, questions were answered if they could be, and if not, your question was acknowledged.

The new people running it dont even bother to respond.

Perfect description of the situation; the whole Codebreaker set debacle was supposed to be handled by Matt Perrone; when Mark heard of the situation, he personally took care of it all the way through. So I can only speak about Mark based on this one interaction, and have to say he's a stand up guy.

Just heard about former Cubs pitcher Frank Castillo paying yesterday. He drowned in a lake here in AZ. So sad.

To his credit he made stuff happen, good and bad. I caught the bad over redemptions and other issues. At the end of this matter I was bluntly told that any redemption replacement or cards issue of mine would be filled/replaced with the bare minimum pile of crap possible. He is why I stopped buying Topps wax in 2009.

I am glad that he was able to corrected issues for some.

It's too bad that Upper Deck doesn't have a license. This would have been a helluva triple auto with players in their jerseys.

Never thought I would spend all day looking at the back of Dawson cards for *s and if the word Inc has a . after it or not and I'm not even through all these crazy Donruss cards yet. I left the house one time today and that was to go pick up some more 5000 count boxes.
