Posted By: dan mckeeDoes anyone know who is bidding on this blatant fake? The seller just physically threatened me with an email. The bidder looks like he may be legit. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200175805146&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200175805146&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123</a>

Posted By: MattI don't understand how you can claim this is a reprint when it clearly says in the title "Not Reprint" In all seriousness, please provide some tips on the '38 Goudey set to know what to look for. thanks!

Posted By: dan mckeeah this one is very easy. the background should be uncolored or the same tone as the borders. Also the print on back is the wrong color. Dan.

Posted By: Anthony S.He does say in his item description that he reserves the right to end the auction early, which suggests he might be looking for a quick hit before Ebay pulls the auction.

Posted By: dan mckeeThis is priceless! "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Nov-20-07 at 11:47:02 PST, seller added the following information: I have revised this for the Buyers...Someone is trying to get my card removed because they want me to sell it through other methods I would not do it... "

Posted By: MattActually Dan - that's a smart strategic move by the seller. I'll bet you anything that once the auction gets shut down the seller is hoping his bidders saw that revision and will contact him with offers. He's "getting ahead of the story" if you will.

Posted By: dan mckeeOh I completely agree with you Matt, very smart indeed. I just thought it was comical as he was referring to me. If you steal for a living, I guess you get good at it? I am impressed with his efforts. Dan.

Posted By: David SmithDan, If he threatened you in an E mail, I would talk to the FBI about it. I had someone send an "almost" threatening E mail to me and I talked to the FBI. They said the E mail sent to me was close but not a direct threat. If the seller is listing fake cards and threatening you, I would almost bet they have a criminal record. Maybe you can get them arrested like a couple fellow net54 members did with George Hudson. Nothing like sending a theif to jail for Christmas. Just my two cents, David

Posted By: dan mckeeDo you have a link to file that David? Here is the email, I thinnk I may not be allowed to post this but this seems threatening to me. If I am off base here Leon feel free to yank it as I respect your authority. "Its not a fake and I will beat your ass off . If you try such stuff , I will make it my vacation to track you down and beat you like a woman..Do you have that straight."

Posted By: fkwI just asked him if I won, could I please pay with Monopoly money:) I thought it would be fair, fake $$ for fake card. I cant get too crazy when I write these cons, In the past Ive been suspended 2 times by eBay (once for a month) for auction interference. Like Dan said the easiest way to tell is the background should be the same color as the border. the reprint when designed had the photo area cropped and a new white border added.

Posted By: barrysloateDan- I would say that's threatening enough. What an absolute idiot to send an email like that, all the more so because it really is a fake.

Posted By: BobI don't care if SGC, PSA and GAI all guaranteed its authenticity, I would NEVER bid on a single thing this guy offers after seeing his response to Dan.

Posted By: MatttBob - he made it onto my blocked sellers list well before that response - selling a reprint and then not removing it when notified makes you dishonest and who knows what other ways he would cheat.

Posted By: MarkCIs it possible to send more information about the counterfeit card when reporting it? When I went in to report the card, I could only send the auction number, not the information needed to evaluate whether or not the card was real. Am I missing something?

Archive

11-21-2007, 02:34 PM

Posted By: MattMark - I wouldn't waste your time - having reported dozens and dozens of fakes to ebay, I can say that the only time they have ever been removed is when leon contacted his friend in ebay's fraud department and got them removed. I think they're just too inundated with emails that they ignore any that require research beyond finding the word "REPRINT" on the card.

Posted By: DMcDFrom MySpace: "Im a Martial Art Instructer from Portsmouth Ohio. Computer Tech . Inducted into the Wku Hall of fame this year for Jujitsu 2007. I love to teach. Im a Christian whom attends New Life Worship Center." Q. What kind of Christian would write this? A. A violent, mysogynistic, fake-card selling one. (Bugger's command of the mother tongue no screaming Hell either). "Its not a fake and I will beat your ass off . If you try such stuff , I will make it my vacation to track you down and beat you like a woman..Do you have that straight."

Posted By: MattSo when he said he was going to beat you, he actually meant real kung-fu style. I think his threat would get treated with more importance if the FBI knew this about him...

Posted By: David SmithDan, Sorry, but I don't have a link. I went to the FBI Office in my city and took a copy of the E mail. In it, the seller said to stop harrassing him about his paper cut-outs of Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner because he had three Cousins who lived an hour away from me. Seeing this, the FBI said his E mail to me COULD be construed as threatening but was not an outright, impossible to miss, threat. Compare that to the E mail the seller sent to you. It IS an outright threat that nobody could question what the guy meant. Hope this helps and the guy gets what he deserves, David

Posted By: Fred CDan, He threatened to beat you like a woman! This guy is a real class act. He will take his vacation to hunt you down.... just priceless... I sent the seller an email and politely told him the card is a reprint. Perhaps if EVERYONE did this he might get the message, then again, he's a woman beater so he probably doesn't have much common sense or decency.

Posted By: MattFred - I think it would be much more constructive if we all reported the threat to the FBI.

Posted By: leonI did all I could do....even made a phone call to my inside guy...(as well as emailing). Sometimes he is out for a few days....we'll see. Generally speaking folks in martial arts are very disciplined. I am surprised that someone that is a master in martial arts would act this way...regards

Let you Dr. friend know also... - waverly101 Let me know if the FBI needs a copy. He seems to be a serial idle-threat maker! Lance
