Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>Wow. The trifecta. A stolen scan, "Grandfather's cousin," and an "emergency." Plus the ever popular "I am by no means a card expert so I'm kind of ignorant about it actually." I love ebay.

Posted By: <b>David</b><p>Amazing. Usually scammers try to build thier feedback up first. He bought a couple tin signs and now is going for a grandslam.

Posted By: <b>rand</b><p>i dont know, but it pisses me off to no end when i see this crap!!! i have no idea what the legal ramifications are..but maybe there is a way ebay can make a new member have to give their driver lisence # or some form of identity that if they try to sell an obvious fraudulent listing that they can be turned in with "intent to fraud" and possible mail fraud for recieving payment out of state. also when a newby signs on, maybe their listings get reviewed and they loose their account immdediately when this arises. Ebay is a multi-billion dollar corp, cant they come up with something? besides hidden bidder id's that took them 10 years to achieve??

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>very nice of his father to gave it to him <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Hey... looks like he will accept offers to end the auction early.<br /><br />Maybe a Monopoly 'get out of jail free' card would do the trick?
