When a member here asks for insights, you should either offer those insights or not respond. Many have offered exactly what I needed, and I thank them.

Secondly, the Elvis comment is called sarcasm. Typically, when someone offers a gazillion sportscards and is extremely visible--yet you don't know the person at all--meeting them has what I call the "Elvis affect". He could've looked like a fat guy with mustard stains on his shirt that needs to give his credit card number before speaking to a female (like most dealers I have known), he could've been Levi Bleamish, or just plain old happy, easy Brian Drent.
The point is, he's hobby famous, and I had never met him.

I don't want trouble, but will try to be understood.

**I see where I stated he sells some of my cards** This may be confusing. I HAVE NEVER given him cards to sell. He sells quite a few of the cards I make when OTHERS consign to him. His scans are poor and misrepresent the quality of the work. The cards have brought OK prices. He had no idea who I was when I stopped at his table in Chicago--we didn't get that far. He was pompous and I smiled and said "great stuff" and walked away.

Not that it bothered me but I misunderstood you originally also. This clears it up and actually makes your story funnier.

Sorry for dropping the F-bomb, but your Elvis comment rubbed me the wrong way.

Now either my reading comprehension is very poor or you're not writing properly, but your previous comment looked like you were saying that even though he was rude to you, you still handed your cards over to him.

He makes custom cards and sells them. Some people who have bought them have subsequently consigned them to Probstein.
