Thanks mjd! So that address is assigned to Norman & Sharon Ann Turner. Both in their 70s according to Whitepages. Mark/Rowdy is listed as age 30s or 40. Based on the ages maybe they are his parents.....so perhaps we all mailed the cards to his parents' house?

Here is the address I sent to:

114 W Summit St
Bolivar MO 65613-1028 

USPS marked that as delivered in the tracking.

It's been to long...hopefully he is okay, but 1.5 months from the time this transaction was accepted with no cards in return is unacceptable. I sent three Nolan Ryan cards, one was a variation, and an 85 Fleer Mattingly. Fortunately, I probably had more in the cost of the stamp than in the cards so it's no big deal. Although, if someone knows they are going to have a life changing event then this person should not be accepting trades knowing that this event is going to impact their ability to complete the transaction in a timely manner. Furthermore, the address on the transaction has changed and the new address does not exist. This has all the signs of someone who is not going to follow through on their end. Negative feedback has been left reflecting my disappointment. Caulking this one up as my first bad trade on TCDB and moving on. If he completes the transaction the feedback will remain as this is unacceptable . Based on this thread, multiple members were impacted. 

I made a trade on the last day of his login.   Sent about 5 Joe Montana's.  Nothing of great value, but still a solid name to go after.    Marked as shipped within an hour of accepting trade.   Not sure why someone that has intentions of making the deal would put "sent" on status when it was clearly not sent yet.   Very bad trade tactic if honest.   Very suspect of the intentions though.   I will also be leaving negative on Monday.  

Add me to the list of people waiting for a return envelope (my cards were delivered to him).  This was one of my "higher valued" trades on TCDB so I'm very hopeful it's more an issue of getting settled after moving as opposed to anythign more nefarious.

Also, for what it's worth:  He provided me a California shipping address.  I mailed on 6/16. Marked his end as shipped on 6/20 (I've still recieved nothing).  

It happens rarely but we occasionally get a bad egg among our trade group. Thank you for all your replies and info I am satisfied that my leaving negative feedback today is deserved I only wish I had noticed all the red flags y'all pointed out. Thanks for making me a wiser trader. 

I just left a voicemail on the other number listed for him on the Whitepages listing. Unsure if it is his number or not (didn't say his name on the voicemail message). I'll post again if I hear anything from him.

Always gotta smile when I see people defend the rogue traders who always were or have only recently gone bad.  When a trader posts several trades as being sent, yet, no one is receiving .... that tells me all I need to know.  I recently got scammed by a trader that had hundreds of successful trades , but in the last few months he has received  numerous negative feedbacks. He claimed my parcel was returned to him by the post office and that he would resend the next day. That was over four months ago !!!! He has claimed to another trader, that he is just working too many hours to make time to mail his parcel .... then why would you keep on trading with others !!!  Stated in his profile that he has health issues , but continued to access the site and procure cards from others when he had no intention of honoring his obligations ...... I know that we all roll the dice with any of these trading sites , but it just doesn't sit well with me that some just don't value their credibility  ........ What goes around comes around 

I mailed my half of a deal on 6/16 to the Missouri address; we'd had a prior successful deal so I thought nothing of it.  Looks like I'm out a couple of Mattinglys (one a box topper, another a numbered parallel).  Mine delivered to him 6/21, I've heard nothing since.  Thx to all the detectives on the thread!

Didn't someone say the old address was listed as most likely his parents place? Anyone think of writing them a polite letter just to let them know what their son is up to? They may have influence with him that we don't.
