Recently I made a deal with a good board member I have done some things with before. He saw a card on my site for sale, said he wanted it, and all was good. I told him I would double check to make sure I had it, but it was not marked sold on the site or my spreadsheet, so we were probably good to go. I looked for that darn card (a T209-1) for hours. I actually cleaned up my office and my card room trying to find it. It seems the more I get stuff organized the more I can't find anything. (not sure why that phenomena happens but it does). Our deal was for 2 cards and the other one I had in my palm so we were at least good for one. I must have picked up my stack of for-sale T cards 10 times, thumbing through them, but to no avail. Finally, on the day I was going to throw in the towel, I went back to the pile of T's once more. I flipped through them again (maybe 20 or 30, raw and in slabs in the same pile).....Nadda.....I laid them down on their backs and viola....there was the darn T209-1, in a top loader, stuck to the back of an SGC graded card. It fit perfectly between the 2 ridges in the holder and was stuck to it. The board member emailed today saying he got them and thanking me again. I was sweating it for a few hours though.....Any more stories out here about operational mishaps? regards
