A couple weeks ago, I couldn’t find a Parky Gordie Howe and thought (first mistake) that I traded it at a show. Fast forward to this weekend. I opened my glove box and, under the car registration, located the errant Howe. Can’t explain how it got there. I’m calling him the “Crop Circle Howe”. Trent King

When I was younger, I would wait all week for an auction, and win some and lose some.

Now, I still wait all week, and I lose every auction. I don't get blown out of the water. I lose by exactly one bid increment. I guess someone started collecting n284 tonight, or wanted to place reserves and placed them too high.

One of my guilty admittances is that in the early 2000's I bought a lovely NM 64' Pete Rose on eBay. After never seeing it arrive, I contacted the seller to discuss and we figured it was lost in the mail. In the days well before PayPal protection, he refunded me half and we parted ways, no hard feelings.

Almost 6 years later I tossed out the living room sofa and as I moved it out to the road heard the usual jingle of lost change. Cut open the bottom liner and emptied the expected sofa treasures of some of my son's matchbox cars, couple dollars in change, and a perfectly sealed envelope containing that 64' Rose.

I must have tossed the mail on the couch and it found it's way to the lost blackhole of stuff. Could not figure out that seller's contact info after all that time and a postcard came back wrong address.

Still feel a little guilty for that.

Um that was me that sold the Rose card! Yea that's it, it was me!
Joking aside, accidents happen and you tried to rectify by writing him. I would not feel guilty. Like I said, accidents happen.
