Posted By: <b>Jason</b><p>I've asked him to send me a scan of the back, to see if he really has it. Only 1 feedback has been left for him in the last 6 months, so I'm a little wary.<br><br><br>Jason

Posted By: <b>Tony Galovich</b><p>Too risky for my taste<br>Not enuff feedback<br>I would insist on speaking to the seller via phone to discuss card etc<br>Anytime I am suspicious I insist on speaking to them on the phone<br>Scammers will rarely do this as they do not want to answer questions pertaining to item they are selling<br>any legit seller will speak to you

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>"Scammers sometimes offer scans of real cards that they don't own. This is often of high end high graded cards, the images stolen from a Mastronet auction or similar. When making a thousands dollar purchase, you want to be confident of the seller's reliability, not just that the card in the picture looks okay.<br><br><br><br>If a deal looks too good to be true, it usually is. You can't get a PSA 9 1952 Mickey Mantle for 1/5th the normal price or a T206 Honus Wagner for $2,000."<br><br><br><br>-David Rudd Cycleback, 2005.<br><br><br><br>________________________________<br><br><br><br><br><br>"finde"<br><br><br><br>-the seller

Posted By: <b>Josh</b><p>I wouldn't touch that listing. No question that is a hijacked picture and if the auction makes it to the end, which I'm guessing it won't, and the seller gets paid, the seller will steal the money and use a delivery confirmation scam to say he shipped the item to the same zip code of the buyer.
