Here is an update:
No word from my seller. Tomorrow is the day that I am eligible for a refund. I might have jumped the gun a bit soon, but PWCC had my 54 Irvin for sale last night and I bought it for $28 +4. It was $31.75 + free shipping from the other guy so it looks like the price was probably right - especially with PWCC's reputation of getting a premium on the price. If I am surprised and the other one comes, I guess I will just have an additional copy. Irvin holds a special place for me anyway as I got his autograph on a ball (along with Brooks Robinson and Tony Olivia) in 1984 when I was 12 at an old timers game when I used to live near Indianapolis. It was right after they opened up the Hoosier dome and before the Colts announced their move.
I also have the same '54 Topps card autographed as I bought it from LOTG right before Monte passed.
All's well that ends well. At least it was a $30 card and not a $300 or $3000 card!
