Bob ManningI thought everybody might enjoy some good news about the hobby. It seems to be loaded with more than its share of honest and very patient people.
About a month ago I won, from JacSports, a T206 PSA 6 Shad Barry in an eBay auction. After waiting a couple of weeks I contacted the owner, John Cherpok, to ask if it had been mailed. It had been paid for Nov 7, mailed the next day. John gave me the trace number through the USPS, but nether of us could find it. Finally, John suggested that we treat it as lost and that, though he would take a financial hit on it, he'd be glad to give a full refund.
THE NEXT DAY, yesterday, I received a note in my town mailbox. It seems somebody back in the bowels of the PO had been collecting something they called "overflow" since Nov 15, though there were many days since then when the box was empty. Sure enough, in the overflow bag was my card, along with several (now overdue) bills.
Of course I emailed John, and he was as gracious as if nothing at all had gone on. So to JacSports, and all the rest of the sellers out there who work patiently and politely, a vary big THANKS.
And to The US Post Office in Davidson, NC ..... PPPPPPPHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTT!!!!
