I may be an idiot and the whole message on the posting looked suspicious but how did this get flagged? Did PSA slab a reprint or was it a fake PSA slab?

I assumed it was just that the seller had stolen the photo and never actually had the card rather than the card in the picture is fake.

I assumed the seller stole the photo of the PSA graded card and didn't show the serial number for fear that people would look that number up and find it was a stolen scan.

I ALSO assumed that the ungraded Ruth card (the one pictured laying sideways) was a fake and THAT is the one you would receive instead of the graded card.

The -1 feedback is a nice touch.

That story almost brought tears to my eyes .....from laughing so hard ! It combined every element possible in the story of the card's history to describe the card : a deceased uncle who was a collector and Babe Ruth fan, mysteriously mailing the card home in a letter, a safe found in an attic years later, a grieving family member (a sister ), the caring card authenticator/dealer offering an absurd amount of money for the card but the seller not taking it, a request to sell the card from the deceased and the family to benefit , and finally the concerned and not too informed seller of the card giving it an overblown detailed description.

It looked like a two card version of three card monte.

But why is the buyer someone with thousands of reviews? Surely he is not an idiot. What's his play after spending $125?

There was a Ruth card with scans cutting off half of the card (the cert side). Other scans looked like the card was not in a holder. So fishy you coulda made a fine gumbo from it.
