Input needed on a developing ebay buyer situation

[hcv123]

I hate when my imperfect human side shows - especially so publicly. While the whereabouts of the listed card is still unknown, based on the fact that I did purchase the card in question in 2010 (Thanks again Pat), I'm going to presume this is my mistake and do what I can to make it right.

Man I love this board.

We all make mistakes Howard good luck getting the situation straightened
out.

Just to make sure I didn't make a mistake I went back and double checked
to make sure it was the card you purchased and it was.

Here's the VCP listing with the scan of the card with that cert #.

1969 O-Pee-Chee Roberto Clemente PSA 7
eBay: 4/9/10 | Seller: theboymonk | Buyer: favorite_things | BIN

Thanks for the confirmation, Pat. That's the thing that made the most sense. Glad to see I wasn't running down the OP. Logically, the buyer doing something wrong or attempting to scam wasn't realistic in this situation.

It helped me ask the more objective question - What would the buyer have as a motivation to do what I accused him of doing. I agreed with your conclusion that it didn't make a whole lot of sense for the buyer to be doing a switch - just not a whole lot of potential upside even though it meant I must be wrong. Still working on the mystery of what the heck happened to the card that I had listed.

Hey Howard,

Not to regress things, but one possibility no one has mentioned is that you sold the lesser #144...sometime long before and hence forgot about it, whether to this buyer or someone entirely different, but that eventually made it to him and now a scam begins...

Or maybe he sold the better card long ago but posted the wrong image on the latest sale.

Fair inverse; probably I was subconsciously assuming Howard wouldn't have sold off his good one and have kept a crappier one for himself!
