1907 Dietsche Ty Cobb - Fielding and Batting

T206Jim · #1 04-16-2017, 04:41 PM

I am the buyer of the Fielding Cobb. I believe Lou should be getting credit here for doing the honorable thing. He posted a fair price commensurate with the most recent sale of the card, accepted the first response, left the price up for all to see as many here have requested in recent posts and has stood by his commitment in the face of criticism.

Pricing of rare postcards is an art and not a science; obviously based on the posts here, he could have backed out of his commitment to me and potentially realized a greater profit, but this is not the path he took. I appreciate that and believe that this is the type of member/seller we all want to see here on Net54.

+1
That was my thought, he posted a price and honored it.
Didn't hedge on the sale when it soon occurred to most that he could have net more. How many others would have done the same. Most I hope.

Just am noticing all the banter back and forth. I thought, being "the schooled
seller" that I might comment. Despite the fact that that was a pretty obnoxious comment, I absolutely should have done more homework. All I had to go on was the REA sale (and the 4 ct Somerset lot) but as Orly mentioned, mine was considerably nicer. Live and learn. Maybe when I grow up and learn about sportscards, I'll be sharp enough to sit at the big kids table LOL. (Who'd know that I have been doing this full time for 30+ years

And thanks for the kind comments for those that noted that I honored the first offer that came in (despite realizing before I confirmed it that I was low on the price). I've been doing this way too long and value my reputation too much to play games.

Never a wrong time to do the right thing Lou.
