That makes total sense. I am friends with Barry and used to consign cards to him.
Edited to add that John's comment and my reply make more sense in the context of my later post about the card:

I bought it back a few years ago (it was reholdered at some point in between, I don't think they had the PSA stickers when I had it graded).
