Probstein F'd me again!

[Johnny630]

The Personal Accusations on this guy are horrible. I don't like it, who personally really knows him??

What happened is not cool, he isn't shipping, he isn't packing, I'm sure once you actually get to him he will make it right.

Leon. My name is James Nahigian. My son Paul and I have been enjoying father-son collecting for almost 20 years now, since he was a little kid. We have nothing to hide. He was the actual victim as the Probstein purchases and eBay situation described were on his account. I have stepped in to assist. Only trying to get suggestions to resolve so we are not out of $1,100. To some that may be a trivial amount. To us (him in particular) it is not. Also, wanted to disclose this negativity re eBay and their seller. It is 1000% factual.

ps - I believe my name is atop the thread....I further believe it is my duty to protect my son. I have nothing to hide.

Can this community help out somehow? Anyone have any thoughts?

I've had a few auction winnings with Probstein and all went well.

The assumption is that this is a graded card. Make sure you have the picture of the card, the auction item description and cert number.

Keep an eye out for the card being sold on ebay or an auction.

A few possibilities:
1 - The item was not shipped and is still at Probstein's. In this case you can only hope the item is located and shipped to you with a huge apology.

2 - The item was accidentally shipped in the wrong package and the recipient wasn't honest enough to contact Probstein. If the person that possesses the card is stupid enough to sell it on ebay, you'll see it and you'll have something to start working on with Probstein (like was the current seller of the card a recipient of a recent Probstein auction winning).
3 - Shipping department associate pocketed the card and will keep it or try to sell it.


I would have to believe that it wasn't intentional on Probstein's part because a big seller wouldn't want something like this hanging over their head. Did you research how many other claims are similar to yours for Probstein? If it is a one-off event then it'll be hard to prove any wrong doing by Probstein. If it is a common occurrence then all you can do is hope ebay sees this and Probstein launches their own internal investigation into this.

This really sucks because if the card doesn't show up, YOU get screwed, royally.

I sure hope it's still at Probstein's and they locate it.

Good luck!

I would think you could get through to him if you call and pretend to have a large collection for sale.

I buy a lot from him never had an issue not receiving what I purchased and honestly when he describes as high end I usually agree with that assessment so my experiences in no way echo yours. Sorry you had this happen but it hasn’t been my experience with Rick.I also recently noticed his emails were going right to spam because I did have a question and sent him an email and when he didn’t respond checked my spam and there it was. Did you check your spam folder?

Your name is already under your ID. Didn't need to know your son's name. My post was only directed at those without a fun name. Thanks.

Just for the heck of it, I went through this thread looking at names. There are currently 12 different members who commented on this thread who aren't using their full names.
