What's up with this? Bad front/good back? I reported it which is always not as easy as it should be...Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/1953-topps-mickey-mantle-2nd-year-/170625753478?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item27ba166186#ht_500wt_1156

He sure has all the RCs doesn't he ! None of the backs seem to match up with the fronts. So what do they do if someone wins ? Ask for a money order or close up the bank acct and cc when they get paid. How do all these scammers get away. Not saying this guy is a scam but sure looks bogus what a sham but how do they get paid ?

I didn't look at the rest of his auctions, but the '53 Mantle is definitely a fake! The bottom red box which contains his name should extend all the way to the left border. There should be no white border there. Also, the scan of the back has multiple creases when you look at it closely, but the creases don't show through on the front.

Check out his feedback. 2 sells, the rest are buys.
The details of his buys are $1 cards and packs for the vast majority
and reprints of the Killebrew rookie, '67 Mantle, Montana rookie and '33 Gehrig
My guess would be that they are all reprints, buyer beware

The Front is obviously wrong but I think he stole a good back scan, unbelieveable how clueless the people are who are bidding on this

All he has ever sold have been a few low priced Michael Jordan cards. The rest of his feedback is all purchases.
Something bad going on here....
There is no way most of the bids are real, its hard to find that many brainless idiots to view the same auction ... let alone with $300+ cash in hand.
