Also thank you for clarification on the fact that although
I was not the first to inquire about the card. I was the first to say I will take it.
That is the crux of our disagreement. I believe that saying " I will take it " means I am committed to buying the card. And you disagree. And claim another layer of conformation is nesacery.

There was another thread where it was discussed ad nauseum about whether or not just saying "I'll take it" guarantees the right to buy something. I don't think any agreement was reached there, but there were plenty of opinions saying that legally, it doesn't.
In your case, the seller was already contacting others when you said you would take it if still available. If he had already messaged others who had directly contacted him about agreeing to terms, I don't see why he would have to drop that and just accept your offer. If he were selling at a show and someone else was discussing buying a card with him and you just walked over and said "I'll take it", I would consider that rude and inappropriate. I'm not sure it's different just because this happened online.
