Probstein123 Experiences

I think Probstein's biggest "problem" is that he treats cards as run of the mill consumer goods that he's passing along in routine commercial transaction and doesn't seem to give two shits about what he's selling. He doesn't talk breathelessly about "assets" "appreciating" as "investments," doesn't talk about "portfolios" and "rates of return," and doesn't wax poetic about magical "pasteboards" being the best example "extant" bla bla bla. I think the fact that he doesn't act like he's selling sacred holy artifacts just rubs some people the wrong way. Oh, and he tries to sell things at high prices. Imagine that.

Very entertaining and likely accurate portrayal!

It may be accurate but does it make a difference ? If you want someone to be passionate about selling your cards then the consignment route is not for you. Set up your own account on a selling site or sell privately. Its a business for him and he does well at it.
