Default General ( non controversial ) Probstein Question
Just a general question that came to my mind as there was a lengthy Probstein thread a few days ago. Now with PWCC, they have a website, really seem to market themselves as the premier internet consignment option for sellers, etc...

How did Probstein become so big? Was he a prominent dealer with vast inventory before the whole internet thing? Does he have strong contacts within the hobby? Did he just go for broke and decide that offering a service selling cards on consignment on ebay was the way to go? ( If so, kudos for becoming a top dog in a very competitive industry )

Just curious, have never bought anything from him, just seems to kind of be a tremendous "American Success Story" if he has built this whole thing from scratch.

I'm semi new to this concept of consignment with cards. Why do people consign? Why don't people just list it themselves? I don't understand...

Good question. If someone here doesn't know, and you're curious, I'd just ask him. He's always communicated pretty well with me.
