Or does he read these boards? I would like to communicate directly with him or someone that is qualified to deal with an issue.

Does anyone have a direct email line to Probstein?

thanks [MENTION=10405]Hawk8[/MENTION] !! Hope that is not a generic email address for him
Your welcome, not sure on the email address. I bought my first card (was a 1/1 2008 Topps Sterling Jumbo Patch) from him and it came in this week and there was a card with it with that information on it.

Hey Top, I would agree but an email I received posted the same info that is also on his eBay profile page so I'm sure he: 1. won't care and 2. won't answer me from either

Fair enough. From what I have seen he is pretty responsive...
[MENTION=3275]Lancemountain[/MENTION] - Not sure what was posted in the above posts, but his LinkedIn profile has a phone number if that would help:

Some people like to group all consignors together and paint with a broad brush.
Beyond that, there is the issue that many large consignors do not police shilling as closely as some would like. There have been discussions on these boards about the challenges of such policing, but it is certainly something that makes some people uncomfortable. (The fact that many large auction houses use a similar idea to create a "secret reserve" may or may not be relevant to the discussion, even beyond whether it is something that can be monitored).
I have sold with Rick a number of times and have had nothing but positive experience and I can guarantee that on the items he sold for me there was no shill bidding. I was very happy working with him, and would happily continue to do so. In all my dealings he has been absolutely stand-up.

99.9% of what I have read/gathered/surmised is that Probstein is a completely stand up guy and I'm not accusing him of the "S" word.
You edited a legitimate response to this thread without thinking first. Just being honest with you and not being rude, your response is the one that should be removed. You are bringing the "S" into this when it wasn't there before.

I'm sure I have bought from him then without even knowing it. What exactly is consignment I never understood what that was?

Some people have a large or high end collection so they let Probstein sell it for them. Probstein has a large customer base and he will take a percentage of the end price for himself and then pay the consigner after fees
