I'll second what Barry said and will come clean to the board on something - I won one of the ungraded cards.
I won't mention which one or go into details on why I bid on it for right now. I will add though that it is one of the blank-backed cards. I did have faith in this particular seller due to his perfect feedback and return policy. I got some good advice from an Ebay rep as well so I feel good about things so far.
The seller got back to me with a very friendly note just yesterday, which, Barry, supports what he told you about not responding right away due to his bout with pneamonia. The big news here is that he offered to send me the card first, which blew me away. Very fair of him I thought so I was happy to accept his offer.
Will keep you all posted on what shows up in the mail next week.
