Kurt's still at it?
He's both.klompton wrote:Now this con man is trying to say the film is Harry Greb Vs. Allentown Joe Gans. I cant figure out if this guy is nuts or just a crook.

Some of the fights that I paid for were missing and another one was missing the first four rounds of a 12 rounder. When I asked him about this he apologized and said he would put them on my next order. Talk about a scam. Needless to say I ate the loss and there was no "next order."
Since then Ive seen where he periodically comes up with these scams. He tries to entice purchases by claiming he has something ultra rare, like Greb-Dempsey, or Greb-Tate. Its a weak marketing ploy. He claims hes got this, you order it, along with other fights in order to make your purchase worth it) and then when someone like me points out that its not Greb he can claim ignorance and hope that you liked the other footage enough to keep buying from him. If you ever buy anything from him get his copy of Tommy Ryan-Hugo Kelly from 1907. Compare it side by side with the film of Carpentier-Klaus (which is genuine) and tell me they arent the same thing...
