Sorry if this is a little OT, I do not usually out fraudulent auctions since someone usually beats me to the punch anyway, but I just wanted this one to be known.

http://cgi.ebay.com/1964-Philadelphia-10-Alex-Sandusky-Colts-MINT-SGC-96_W0QQitemZ260585799542QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Foot ball?hash=item3cac1fbf76

I won the exact card listed on April 5th , arrived shortly thereafter and is in my collection. I ran through one of my searches and found the exact same card listed by a different seller. I emailed the seller asking what was up, and I am awaiting the response.

This was my email:

"Hi,

The scan used for this auction is the exact SGC 96 that I won on April 5th and am now in possession of.

1271176-002

Can you explain this listing?

Thanks - Rob"

Has this happened to anyone before? If that's a dumb question, sorry in advance for the ignorance.

Rob

A mistake, like this one, no doubt.

See his one negative, for the past month.

I wonder if the scratches on the plastic SGC holder in this auction match the one on yours ? Otherwise I would think someone is making fake SGC holders (either this guy or the one you bought it from).

I believe it is the same holder I have as well. I recall using Goo-Gone to rid most of the scuffing/residue. Either way something isn't kosher here...when/if I get a reply I will be sure to post here.

The seller, Jed, is a good guy. I'm sure it is just a mistake....sellers often have scans of old cards and don't realize when they use the wrong one...I've e-mailed him myself.

Very well could be a mistake, I could see how that can happen. There are 4 on the pop report, so it is a definite possibility.

His records may also just have an error in it and he may think he still owns it. The guy moves a lot of inventory, so mistakes are bound to happen. I promise you, this guy is definitely on the up and up.

I too have met Jed on a couple occasions and he is indeed a good dealer. As was stated, he runs a ton of inventory so he may have an oversight. Also, don't expect a quick response from him. He does a lot of shows and his eBay operation I would imagine he does not necessarily check in every day...

Just to follow up so his name is cleared, since Rob sort of introed this as a "fraudulent" auction, "I do not usually out fraudulent auctions since someone usually beats me to the punch anyway, but I just wanted this one to be known."

....Jed responded to my e-mail about this auction...

"Thanks! Must have double listed in my store some time ago!"

....and then he immediately closed the auction. Jed's a good guy, just overworked. Rob, did he contact you as well?

If he is using Turbo Lister it is easy to accidently hit the upload button twice by mistake. I recently listed the same Goudey Indian card twice by mistake when I hit "add to upload" twice by mistake. I felt like a real idiot when I sold the same card for the second time and I didn't have it in my possession.

Chances are your item is listed by mistake.

Yes Jed did contact me and told me it was listed by mistake. All is well now...

Thanks - Rob
