To answer your questions...
"Why wouldn't you discuss all of your points with Tom privately, either by e-mail or phone, instead of airing them in public? And why wait until the final hours before the end of the auction?"
My intention was not to even communicate with Tom at all on this forum. My original posting was to alleviate some of the concerns that Robert (Bigb13) and John (Wonkaticket) had expressed in the posts immediately preceeding Tom's post titled ""Private Listing" is a Mistake that I am unable to correct." I wanted them, and others, to know that at least the lead bidder on this auction was legitimate, so there shouldn't be any hullabaloo around whether the bidders were suspect. Since it is a private listing, no one has any idea if the lead bidder is someone like me with a lot of feedback, or a zero. If anything, I am encouraging further bidding as I think Tom is a good guy and this card is a worthwhile investment.
