Hmmm,
Thats too bad. I just reviewed the emails I have and was hoping I had a telephone number for you. All I have is an email at [email protected]
Hotmail accounts always concern me as the are somewhat anonymous. I know he called me and I found it strange that he said these were Alan Johnson Stage 1 heads....what??????
All I can offer you is to forward pictures he sent me, but as you have the heads first hand, I'm not sure if that helps you.
If its any help to you, my research has found that most Big Chiefs with time on them are running with cracks around the guide bosses.

Regards,
Tom

Is there a way to post photos on this message board? I reread the ad for the Big Chiefs and had to chuckle. If you could see the photos of the actual heads, you 'd know right off this guy is a scammer. First off the ad reads 40 runs..told me he got them in a trade but could'nt remember where. This guy did'nt even know exactly what the heads were and went on to say they were Alan Johnson heads.. Photos are file photos and if you saw the actual crap, you'd understand why.
It's clear to me these were harvested off someone junk pile..how do own a set of high dollar heads and not know what they are???
Good luck.
PS...email me at [email protected] and I'll share a tip with you on how to get this guy talking...helped me with a guy that refused to call me back.
