Avoid this Ebay seller vparamv_3
 
He uses a shill bidder (currently with 143 FB's) for just about every one of his high end vintage cards. Bidder "143" is always near the top. If 143 accidentally wins an auction the item is ALWAYS relisted. What a POS

Here are some examples. All wins by "143" and all relisted

Here are some examples where "143" finished just out of the money

And you may notice on the "out of the money" finishers the buyers with 1770 fb's has 100% bidding with this seller... may be a second shill account...

Good point
Didn't spend a lot of time looking and only noticed the "143" bidder.

I obviously don't know but my thoughts are how many in South Korea would have had actual access to these cards?

If none were shipped there for retail ever I know its not out of the realm of possibility that the seller collected them at some point in his life, but seeing more and more coming from these areas all the time, it screams scam/fake to me.

South Korea is a regular stop for many US Military stationed overseas. So many may have collected in the states, then took their collection with them on deployment.
However, the Asian market is pretty huge for modern baseball and basketball cards. And yes, many modern fakes are coming from the same region.

Thanks for the heads up on this.
