After passing on a trade with Tom I later regretted not making the deal for one of his beautifully restored HEP games. I reached back out and made a deal with him to have the game shipped.

This transaction with Tom was great. I was buying from out of state and had a local friend go to inspect the pin.

I put most of my collection up for sale recently. Tom reached out immediately about the two most special games in my collection. A HEP WH2O and a highly restored TOM that I did personally.
