Leon, just in case our friend is inclined to tell more lies, here is what happened.
Jason initiated contact with my friend who had posted the card on ebay for me. He asked about the flip, and my friend told him he would send him an SGC voucher that would cover the cost of reholdering (I had a voucher from a prior transaction). Jason thought that was "awesome." They then worked out a deal where Jason agreed to trade four cards for the Cobb, and promised to send them Fed Ex. A couple of days later, Jason reneged, saying he had bought a car he might have to restore, and since he could never part with the Cobb once he owned it, he wanted to keep his existing cards in case he needed to sell them to raise money.
