You are assuming that the seller is the guy that got the card in the mail. I ask again, do we know that he didn't buy it from someone else that got it in the mail?

Does every seller know the provenance of every card they sell? The card could been sold by the scumbag TO Kevin

It is not only possible but probable that Kevin who has almost 12000 feedbacks and as been a seller for a good while is an unwitting victim of someone selling or consigning him a card that was stolen. Afterall, a seller has to get inventory from somewhere. To jump to the conclusion that he is the thief is one step shy of villagers storming the castle with pitchforks or frontier justice by a lynch mob. I have not heard the O/P say that Kevin is the guy that the card was sent to, just that he is the seller selling it.

I would like to add that I do not know this seller and to my recollection, have never bought anything from him.

Kevin...DId your Cobb come with additional cards? This seller has several 1907 DIETCHE cards with Lewis erased on the front.

Given that the seller has 3 other Dietsche cards(assumedly won in the same auction, and possibly the reason for the mistaken shipping), I think it's more probable that he is the person that it was mistakenly sent to. It's possible that Kevin may only be a consignor..

If you were mistakenly sent this card, and were shady enough to flip it, I'd think you wouldn't want "your" name attached to it, and woulf rather put that on someone else..

I will agree that "Stolen" is a pretty harsh description for the situation though. Unethical, Slimy, Sketchy, Assholish, yes. Stolen, no..

Fair enough.

Still, Buckler said he notified the ebay seller, so I am curious to see what they have to say when they do answer him.

In the event he is the one who accidentally got the card in the mail, and is now trying to sell it, that is absolutely pathetic.

I hope that is not the case, and that it played out as you said.

Either way, Buckler got screwed and deserves some justice.
