is Ebay Seller Tbarlage a board member..?

[Blunder19]

I was wondering if anyone knew who this is?

I have seen this seller week after week list singles and lots of t206s for years. Seems like a never ending supply of t206s... anyone else notice this?

I've purchased many cards from him, and he is great to deal with. Also knows the idiosyncrasies of my collection, and has pointed out other auctions and sales to help me out. A really nice guy.

never mind - not sure I'm remembering the right person...

[Blunder19]

Im tring to find out how its possible that someone can sell 1,000+ t206s year after year.

He's a member but has only posted twice and not since December 2009. I agree his constant flow of T206 inventory (not to mention the quality) is amazing.

I'd love to hear the story behind it as well.

Regards,

Scott

Bought one of my first T206 cards from him (Frank Smith Chicago/Boston). Super nice guy, ships to Canada really quick for a major seller and always provides great descriptions for his listings. I check his Sunday night auctions every week.

He is a good seller, has a great market niche, and is plenty knowledgeable, but it's pretty easy to sell 1,000 of T206's year after year. All he has to do is be the high bidder on any of the T206 lots in whatever monthly auction(s) are running at the time. Thus, he can almost have an endless supply. My hats off to him and his perseverance......he is truly the Lou Gehrig of "Sunday" T206 lots.

Lovely Day...

I have purchased a couple of cards from him also. Nice guy, helpful with questions and quality cards (mine were T206 - SGC graded). No problems at all and would recommend him to anyone who asked. His name is Tom Barlarge, by the way.

I've purchased cards from him also. Great seller.

I fondly remember alot of those Sunday nights! Large portions of my paycheck used to go to him (fast forward to today and there is nothing large about my paycheck) He is a great seller, though.

Remember that just because you sell lots of cards on a regular basis doesn't necessarily mean there your cards. I know lots of sellers with websites & that do e-bay auctions do lots of consignments as well.

[Blunder19]

thanks for the response guys. I feel good about buying from him now..

thanks

Tom is a great seller and have bought many T206's and T205's from him. I do know that he does have many consignments. And he very well should considering his great service, selection, and top $ for alot of cards. Can't go wrong with him.

I have also bought a few nice T206's from Mr. Barlage and found him to be a wonderful and honest seller to buy from. Would recommend for sure.

Tom Barlage is an excellent dealer!

I've bought more T206s from him over the past couple years, than anyone else except Bill Brodhead (bbsports) (another excellent dealer!).
