I, too, have dealt with Brady and consider him a friend and even a mentor in the hobby as he has been a sounding board on major purchase decisions. He has an incredible collection and has been very reasonable in parting with a few pieces that have since become the best items in my collection. While the prices listed may seem strong, the quality of cards is incredibly high (try to find an uncentered card on his site), and, as we've discussed about others, he's free to set prices as he see fits. He's not a dealer, per se, as this is very much a hobby, so I'm not sure he's really trying to sell, but I do know he loves the interactions with with fellow hobbyists and enjoys striking a deal where it makes sense.
To the OP, you should neg the hell out of your eBay seeker. Clearly a fraudulent sale as it's clear that card was in someone else's possession.
