Congrats...Matty! The card found its rightful home...beautiful card. I agree with you in that the card is not found with perfect centering and with the registration dead on.
Translation: Matty knew a guy who knew a guy whose cousin was from the old neighborhood..
That was funny, Grote! I have certainly met some colorful characters in work, from the real-life gangsters portrayed in the first film I did to undercover cops and FBI agents to the special forces guys who are consulting me on a couple action films at the moment. Though a couple collected cards as kids, they thankfully haven't been needed in any recent card related matters, !
Congrats on getting the card. That is the dream mantle rookie for me. I am doing the 1948-1954 HOF rookies in centered PSA 4s and it doesn't get better than that for that card.

I am surprised you can threaten anything legal based on ebays policies. The seller has a right to cancel afterwards and it is pretty hard to prove he didn't sell it if he wanted to stick by that. Call it sellers remorse or what have you, but ebay allows the cancellation so I find it hard to believe they provide an option that would allow a seller to put themselves in legal jeopardy. What exactly was said legal wise to make this happen? We all need this secret if it is a viable solution.

Legal statutes > eBay policies
I get this, but what legal statute was used. I don't see how you can prove the seller DID have the card still is what I mean. Could have been mis-priced even. I feel like the OP got unlucky and mistreated and then ultimately got really lucky when the seller took him serious. I think most were just as surprised as I was to see it happen and why most also thought it was a bad beat loss when the seller cancelled the sale. Please someone explain exactly what happened and just how difficult it is to do and what minimum $ amount of value would it make sense for.

So you made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Certainly it's one of those "buy the card, not the holder" type of cards.

Legal statutes > eBay policies
I'm glad it worked out in your favor -- they are very, very, very particular quality cards you've managed to acquire!
Congrats Matty! Sweet card.

No more trading or selling with Matty after this thread - he means business
Nice job on getting after him bro!
