1933 ebay Ruth take a chance
Someone 'bought' this card.
seller asked me to send him a pp gift at a good price....i passed.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1933-Goudey...rdt=true&rt=nc |
I don't get it. Aside from the useless pictures, what's the issue?

100% Feedback, yes...but I never deal with someone with as few (45) feedbacks as he does...certainly not for a 'big dollar' card. There's enough clearly legit cards out there that anyone with half a brain should be able to avoid listings like the one the OP mentions. ...of course, if you do only have half a brain...go for it...P.T.

For those who have read Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", perhaps the seller's user name, Col. Kurtz, might have been a small clue all was not kosher with this offering
|
You might also notice on the front picture appears that something was whited out on the flip...
|
So you "bought it"? Why else would he ask you for PayPal gift?
|
I certainly don't claim to know more than the other members on here. But the card looks legit to me. The flip checks out and there's even pictures of the card from a previous Heritage auction. His previous, positive feedback all seem to be vintage card related as well. I admit, the Paypal gift thing is a little wonky. But, I'm not convinced this is a scam.

Flip aligns differently in the Heritage one, no? And different back holder. |

Unquestionably a fake card as it's in a fake holder.
I hope no one on this board has bought any of this crap. The Lou he just sold is obviously fake. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1933-Goudey...p2047675.l2557 |
He is offering to meet my friend for a cash deal...so nice of him..
|
As it is misrepresentation and fraud for thousands, it may actually draw police interest. I would give them a call.
|
It's a shame ebay has no meaningful fraud reporting system.
|
Gut instinct immediately said no. If you have been doing this long enough, its almost never wrong. The picture, lack of feedback, unknown seller, & even the description didn't feel right.
