EBAY Pickups - Building My Phil Hughes Collection

Made some nice purchases of Ebay recently to help build my collection.

Card: 2008 Upper Deck Heroes Jersey Autograph Red #113 Phil Hughes #24/25
Price $14.50
Great addition to my heroes collection I currently have 8 I feel this was decent price and haven't seen this one listed recently.

Card: 2007 UD Black Triptych Triple Autographs Gold Spectrum #HMP Phil Hughes/ Andrew Miller/ Glen Perkins #5/5
Price: $22.25
Amazing find I was willing to go up to $30 on this I think it was a steal @ $22. I don't think I'll ever see another of these again.

Card: 2007 Sweet Spot #135 Phil Hughes AU SP
Price: $16.50
I might have overpaid for this card as I have been trying to get this card for months I didn't want to pay over $15 but felt that I have bid on this card so many times and lost I had to go for it this time.

The paypal account is kind of empty after these purchases but I hope to fill it up real soon.

EBAY: BUY, PAY, WAIT WAIT WAIT......PLAYER GETS TRADED!

So on November 30th I purchased 2 Phil Coke cards in a lot on EBAY. The lot included a 2009 Sweet Spot Auto #/699 & Ticket to Stardom Rookie Blue Parallel #/99. I won the auction at a very reasonable price of $1.28 and shipping was decent at $2.95. I won the cards on Nov 30th Paid for the cards minutes after the auction ended. Here is where the disappointment comes from the seller who doesn't ship the item till December 12th it doesn't arrive till the 15th. Should I leave neutral or negative feedback for this seller? He never contacted me to let me know that there was going to be a delay. He also states in his auction that item will usually ship within 2 business days of receiving cleared payment. My payment cleared the same day his auction closed. I sell a good amount on Ebay and work about 55 hours at my real job and still find time to get all my packages to my buyers in a fast time period. To make matters worse during that time period Coke was traded to the Tigers. He was great out of the Yanks bullpen last year and I will miss him. Done complaining for this moment....
