I have a new found bitterness toward pinholes..

And, when you bought the item, was it properly described or do you have recourse?

It wasn't the one in Heritage and I don't need recourse as I am still going to be ahead. I just didn't realize two of the three had the holes. All things considered they still present nicely and were a nice bargain (not a steal but a good bargain). I have no buyers remorse whatsoever.

Nice Leon,
Were they all from the same seller? Was wondering who got the Cobb.

Yes. After a few days and no bids he responded to an email asking if he would take an offer on the Cobb before there were any bids. He then told me he had two others and I ended up buying all 3, with the help of a board member, and eventually won the Clarke from him on ebay too. There is still good stuff on ebay.

You're lucky he didn't hold to his promise to give me a chance to match any off-ebay offers, could have cost you some money.

He also told me he pulled the auction to have the Cobb graded.

I forgive his lies though, all part of the game that is ebay. Really nice pickups, all of them!

I just asked ....wasn't my fault. Sorry if he told you stories. Once he made the deal it might have been awkward for him to answer emails I guess. I dunno.... He didn't give them away...but yes you could have cost me money and I wouldn't have blamed you. You never know how these deals will go. We have all been there...

Hi Leon- congrats on the pick up. The pinhole only affects the technical grade, those are still amazing cabinets. But I don't think you realized they had pinholes before you bought them. Still a very good purchase.

Beautiful cards regardless.
Nice pick up.

That's a beautiful pinhole!

They did not pop in my search or you would not have gotten any of them. F#@% F#@$ F#@$. And they would not have been available for a long long time.

Pinholes? Don't talk about pinholes. Are you kidding me? Pinholes? I'm just hoping we can win a game, another game. (Said in my best Jim Mora voice). By the way, I love this card! So much character when you see it in person.

You have to be quick in the wild west that is eBay.
