well, since Rob is the only one that emailed me and it looks like others are going to come to their own conclusions, i will set the record straight.

i won the card on 06/26, Rob offered to buy it from me. i told the eBay seller i would pay TODAY. i did not check eBay or these boards all weekend.

i checked my email this morning and had the PM from Rob asking what is going on... that is when i realized the seller had not only relisted the card but also filed a NPB on me

I have already emailed the seller through eBay as to why he did this after he agree to wait until today for PAYMENT. i am still waitnig to hear from him.

Rob should just buy it directly from the seller at this point, cut out the middle man.

Gotta love how the seller now claims its one of 4 known to exist, so he obviously reads this board yet forgets to mention the fact that several people with knowledge of this card have alrady definitively stated that it is MUCH more common than that.

+1. Good luck, Rob. It's a cool card just not 1 of 4. And the copies at auction were cleaner than this one accounting for the price difference. I don't see how any copy of this card would sell for $2500 as stated earlier, but I've been wrong before.

No chance for $2500 that guy who said that is a bit of an idiot, and way off on that weak guesstimate of his.

But you won the auction 8 days ago, why are you just "paying" now? When you buy something on Ebay you are supposed to pay right away or the next day. Or you should have contacted the seller immediately and explained it will take longer, does not sound like that happened.

If win something pay for it right away or contact the seller right away. Deadbeat bidder in my eyes, can't blame the seller for re-listing. And why didn't pay today? The invoice is still out there, pay it, then he'll cancel the sale.

Personally, I wouldn't be buying any cards (especially those where I was so unsure as to whether it would be more profitable to slab or not) with the intention of possibly flipping if money were at all an issue. But thats just me.
