Posted By: Al SimeoneHe is also selling a Rolex for good old Grandpa! Note 50.00 shipping on the Plank but only 3.50 for the watch worth 22,000. Wonder if thats including Ins.

Posted By: Frank B He needs to be reported to EBay immediately because he has a rolex and a computer up also and they have people bidding on the items. Seller keeping those auctions private so no way to warn the bidders. Rolex ends Mon night. If he has the Plank he should take another photo of it that shows he actually has custody of it.

Posted By: PaulWhy wouldn't you trust him. He "inheriated" the Plank from his grandpa.

Posted By: MikeI suppose if you just inherited 10,000 cards from gramps, why not start with the Plank?

Posted By: Pennsylvania TedThe Plank looks legit (front and back), so we can assume he stole the scan ? Well, what can you suspect from a seller whose handle is "JESSE J"..ames ?

Posted By: barrysloateThat card looks very familiar. Who did he steal that scan from?

Posted By: DougAccording to the rolex auction it's "for sale locally". Anybody here live in Moses Lake, WA and want to see if he really has it or not? If you check the PSA set registry there is a T206 set called Latzko's Passion that has a PSA 5 Plank in it. Unless the owner of that was his Grandpa something must be up because the pop report only shows one PSA 5 Plank.

Posted By: Tony AndreaI emailed the seller and asked for a scan of him holding the card for proof due to his feedback rating of ZERO. He replied by saying. "Dear 3-2-count, i do understand ur concerns and ill get u that scan as soon as my wife gets home and im also going to post it on ebay also - jessej3734 Can't wait to see the pictures, can you???

Posted By: Eric BThe REA Plank scan is just slightly crooked, tilting to the right on top. About 0.3 degrees. I wonder how this seller was able to duplicate that tilt so precisely.

Posted By: David SmithHe has listed a Ty Cobb with red background, eBay Item number: 260201556808. He also has a Lajoie card listed. Neither are graded (unlike the Plank, which ended early and the Babe Ruth cards). Also, his Rolex auction was removed. David

Posted By: Dan KravitzI got him to remove the plank, buy telling him I would buy it for $10,000. He agreed and asked me to send him half. I told him to take another scan with a current newspaper to prove the card was in his possession and I have not heard back from him since. Big scammer! Stay away from any and all of his auctions!!!

Posted By: Jack RichardsRegarding the word "Resplendent," my son (also a collector) and I created a word last Summer that was intended to describe anything that was indescribably perfect. The word was "racqtigent." (We considered starting it was a silent "g," but decided against it). We hoped that it would catch on with some of the auction catalogs, but so far no luck. Feel free to use it. Thanks, Jack
