If you were paying super close attention - you might have noticed I pulled down 2 posts over the past 2 days. I don’t know what it is, but when your account starts to get a bit of attention, random people come out of the woodwork and send you stories about bad experiences they’ve had or crazy things that have happened. The natural tendency (at least for me) is to post...mostly because I think people will find it interesting but it also allows people to weigh in on the situation...whatever that situation might be.  
 
Anyway, one person sent me a post about a pair of shoes he bought that clearly wasn’t advertised as it should have been - this story further supports my narrative that a benchmark for grading (in the industry) is necessary and who, but me, would be able to provide it? Once the post had been up for a couple of hours - the *other* side of the story ended up coming out in my DMs. I won’t get into it because I wasn’t there and I’m not really tryna be that guy in the middle of these kinds of things. I’m not the guy to create problems, I’m the guy to solve them. Truth be told, if either the buyer OR the seller asked for my FREE shoe grading service - the whole issue never would have occurred. So I pulled the post.  
 
And yesterday, someone else sent me a pic of a pair of those @jbalvin x @jumpman23 ‘s being authenticated by @checkcheckapp . I’ve been arguing my point that anyone that authenticates shoes without them having been released yet is full of shit, so I was happy to repost it. Within an hour, a dude DM’d me (@hufl23 ) a link directly from @checkcheckapp showing me a link proving that the shoes did not actually pass. It was a photoshop. Rookie mistake. I guess the next time I go trusting the word of a supposed known fake manufacturer I should just remember that there’s really no honor amongst thieves. So I pulled it.  
 
Anyway, twice in two days is just stupid. Moral of the story - I get got, too. And I been doing this for 20+ years. No one is immune to the bullish!t being pulled in this ‘game.’
