Merry Christmas to everyone else.

Ok....just so we're clear, Mr. Culpepper, you do not acknowledge Mr. Probsteins existence and, thus, do NOT participate in his auctions. I can respect this stance and thoroughly enjoyed your delivery

Reading everything, it sounds like he's merely a funnel of material with no filter. His theory is "I do volume. My value is that your item will be seen.
Take it or leave it. I'm too busy to hold your hand and follow up when a buyer isn't happy. PSA grades 'em--not my issue. I have more items to list. Move on."

I get it.

If you are interested in a card he is selling you need ask a few questions about the item and be sure to let him know you are very interested in the item. It makes a big difference if you do this.

That's eBay's value. Probstein's value is for those who don't have time to list, are too lazy, and/or are laundering bad product.

Not much to add other than I've won several items and always received them timely and well packed.

He can also help sell your card over and over again.

For example, this Acuna Heritage red auto numbered to 15 sold on:

Nov 28th

Nov 20th

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-Topps-...p2047675.l2557

Oct 21st

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-Topps-...p2047675.l2557

So as you can see, his auctions are a good option if you don't get paid or if
you decide you just want to resell what you just bought. Keep on listing!

Your point is well taken. On another issue; I totally get and can appreciate that people collect what they like and it's none of my business--I really do, but 3k for a brand new card of THAT guy surprises me.
Remarkable.

Holy smokes!! I just realized it's Tony Aconte!
It's been like 15-20 years! Always one of the good and sane guys with a great eye!
