That's interesting. His son didn't know how much his dad paid for the cards? And if he assumed they actually paid for the Cobb, it would be reasonable to sell it for nearly $200 less? Obviously son is experienced at buying/selling too, and I wish them the best in their family business.
You know, when people commit theft, they articulate to themselves beforehand why they are committing theft. But most importantly, they develop contingency plans in case they're caught.
Using this example, if it would've been theft, the thief may plan to say, "oops, didn't realize that very important and expensive card was mixed in with my other less important cards. Typed it up and scanned it but low and behold I didn't realize..."
He may plan to say, "It wasn't me! My daddy did it!"
He may say, "It's the auction house's fault! I didn't pay for it and didn't want it but they sent it anyway. Finders keepers!"
And again, these things are planned in case the thief gets caught, and if this was just a case of ignorant people
, ignorant of having a Cobb rookie by mistake, country bound or not....if it was a theft, the thief was busted and had to rely on the contingency. So glad it's going to be rectified at Kevin's convenience, and very glad this isn't going to be a theft. But more than anything, I'm glad Chris saw his card listed for sale well below what he paid for it.
So, Rick, while you may be immediately pleased, I see things differently. Too much TV I guess. Thanks for posting. My dissonance has not decreased yet, so forgive my blabbering. And here I was thinking the modern man would rearrange the scenario in order to help another bad guy be a victim. That's it; no more tv!
Sorry that happened to you and your son, Kevin! What country Kevin? Business or vacation? Looking forward to hearing about it. Be safe brother!
