Special Thank You to Tony B. (3arod13)

[joelsabi]

I wanted to give a special thank you to follow member and ARod collector Tony Baldwin for allowing me to buy his 3 early autographed baseballs from him. We made a deal where I paid most of the money up front and he was willing to receive the rest of the payment at the end of the month.

Yesterday, I received an email that he was sending out the item express mail and that I would received them today. I hadnt even paid for the full amount yet. Well, I worked from home today and it arrived. Perfect packaging with COAs and other documentation in hard plastic topholders. This was first class care and packaging. I have never had a seller send documentation in hard plastic topholders before. This early delivery is the classiest gesture I have been given from a fellow collector and really appreciate it.

After we had made the deal, Tony told me he had been offered a considerable amount more for the set of baseballs after he stopped the auction on Ebay. Some peope would have tried to take advantage of this or renege on the deal. Fortunantly, I knew that would not be a concern with Tony. Tony is as honest and honorable person there can be in the hobby.

Tony gave me his reason for selling the item as being an upgrade for another ARod item. I am glad we share similar collecting habits. I look forward to see this great item soon.

Thanks again Tony for being in the hobby and being a true friend.

Respectfully,

Joel
