I have always wanted to pair it with my other two Eternal Soulfire books. The seller wanted an astronomical amount of money for it. We bantered back and forth on several occasions and finally we came to a reasonable agreement. Happy to add this Stiegerwald to the Soulfire collection..... Expand This is my book and in my possession Now, now, ivdyer... are you absolutely sure this book is in your collection and that you're not confusing this one with one of the other bazillion gorgeous sketches you own? I, too, find it odd that someone else would make this claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a dishonest seller trying to sell me a book they did not own off of eBay! This, was probably the hardest sketch to add this past year. Back in 2019, this sketch first showed up on ebay for sale. I had it in my watch list but it was a bit too pricey for me at the time (and it was in a CBCS holder which is not always a turn off but I tend to prefer CGC) so it sat until one day it was no longer for sale having been sold. I figure you can't win them all. Then fast forward this August it became for sale again. I thought maybe the new seller had it to sell so I bought it. A tracking number was provided and almost a month later the tracking said label created awaiting arrival at usps. I emailed about it and was assured it was sent and told to check tracking. I did and it said the same thing. Imagine my surprise when this same sketch cover came for sale on eBay from a different seller in a different state over a month from my first purchase. I asked the second seller I know this may sound silly but can you tell me if this sketch is actually at your house and I explained my hesitation. He sent me a timestamp photo proving he had it in hand. I bought this sketch a second time (and for a cheaper price) and when it arrived it had the same I'd number on the slab as the first auction, it was the same sketch! I asked for a refund from the first seller and the seller assured me he mailed it and he got the sketch at a con from Patrick Owsley directly telling me I must be mistaken and it could not be possible! I informed him about my second auction and told him to search it, and brought up CBCS database only shows one Owsley sketch in 9.6. Surprisingly he never responded back and ebay stepped in to refund within 24 hours. onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
