A bad ebay purchase with a happy ending!

Back in the middle of February I pushed a 2002 Upper Deck Triple Threat Gold Parallel of Fred Taylor/Mark Brunell and Jimmy Smith - you just don't see the GOLD Parallels ever especially the "T3's" because it's hard to do a title with all 3 names in it! By late March, I had to file a paypal claim before the 45 day deadline. He unwillingly sent me a refund, but I did get my money back.

Well today, May 13th, 77 days later, I finally get the package - with this sticker from the Post Office. I've done literally 4,000 transactions on ebay and still am finding out "new" errors by the PO. So #^*% REALLY DOES HAPPEN!!!

I also resent payment back to the seller.

Bottomline, as I told the seller long ago, I would rather have the card vs the money.

Have you ever received this before?!?

And the card of course - luckily not creased!

jaderock, wow that is a crazy story that went from bad to good. I must say that is really great of you to send the money back to the seller after receiving the card so many days later via problem with the post office. I totally agree on the part about the card v. the money. I never bid on a card unless I want it so to get a refund on a missing card is kind of a bummer. At any rate thanks for sharing the success---sweet card and congrats on adding that one the collection.

One more for your crazy Brunell collection. Glad to see it worked out for you. The dang PO can be a little lackadaisical at times but what you going to do?
