This listing had all (well almost all) signs of trouble:
1. The card LOOKS fake;
2. The seller's feedback is WEAK at best. Last 50 or so feedbacks were for items that did not exceed $50;
3 Price not in line with previous sales:
4/30/07 eBay View Auction $1,602.77 (Don's card)
12/10/06 eBay View Auction $2,247.00
12/3/06 eBay View Auction $2,125.00
11/10/06 Manontherock $2,587.50
10/26/06 Mastro $2,334.73
(This is why I find services such as VCP and CP so valuable)
4. As already stated Bat Off not found in 150.
This is a prime example of being blinded by the holder. Nowadays it is too easy to overlook the card and rely on the fact that it is in a slab. This should be a lesson to all of us.
Disclaimers:
1. I have no financial interest in VCP or CP;
2. I like both Bobby and Ted;
3. I especially like Don as I have had many satisfactory deals with him.
