Like you, I have purchased a very few cards sold by Probstein on eBay over the years...nothing recently. A couple of weeks ago out of the clear blue I started receiving 2 emails a day, every day, promoting Probstein's "high end" slabbed (mostly shiny modern) cards for sale on eBay. The emails also all include a video where Rick talks about issues like fake cards being stabbed by TPGs, etc.

I never signed up for any email subscription from Probstein, and I can only assume he was able to somehow glean my email address from eBay, or it was shared or sold to him by another hobby entity I have done business with. At this rate I am on track to receive at least 730 obnoxious emails from Rick Probstein this year. Yay me!
