Weird series of events with Joe's Vintage Auctions

Rob,

I'm guessing your tracking number was: 9400109699939664719300

The reason I'm guessing that is because I live in Robinson, IL, and that tracking number is the one that is tied to the package I received from Joe's last week. The only thing that was in my package was the T206 common that I had won in the previous auction. Nothing else was in the box.

I'm guessing that the tracking number for my order somehow got copied to your order as well. I wish you luck with finding your card.

Mike

First off let me say that I have bought from them countless times in the past, and seem to win something every auction...everything couldn't be smoother. A couple weeks back I saw a 1949 Bob Lemon SGC 55 Joe's was selling on Ebay for I believe $120...I emailed them and asked if $100 would take it...they came back at $110 and I decided to pass. In last week's JVSC auction I won the same Lemon for $95. Instead of shipping it to me (Middlesex, NJ...where they always ship my winnings to) it got shipped here:

Now it looks like the same exact card is back up on Ebay.

I have contacted them to see what happened, but wanted to get some opinions if this seems fishy, or if I am jumping the gun. My first instinct was this seems a little off, but I never had any issues with them before.

Thanks,
Rob

Hey Mike,

That is correct! The tracking numbers got mixed up, apparently my card is on it's way to me so all should be good.

Just curious: You made this post on a Sunday night around 11:30. How much time did you give the seller to respond to your inquiry before seeking public opinion?

Hardly any, was just a couple strange coincidences highlighted by myself not checking the entire cert#. Was certainly not trying to be negative...lesson learned.
