Default Probstein Ebay Rollout
Over the last day or so, Probstein has unleashed a hurricane of high value cards on an unsuspecting Ebay following, including '14 Cracker Jacks of Cobb and Jackson. No auctions that I can see only BIN's at steep prices. Still, if you got an early tax refund, and the better half doesn't know about it yet, it can't hurt to look. Right?

I had seen the same thing last week, and some turned to auctions after. Whole lotta eyeballs/shilling accounts to keep up the watch count

Enfuego sold me a fake card
Wouldn't answer his phone
Wouldn't email me
Wouldn't respond to paypal
But paypal refunded me so he's allowed back on the boards

At this point my appetite for high value cards is at an all time low. I really question whether I can trust anything in this hobby. It's not a new revelation, but such a bummer.

I saw them yesterday but just looked again today and they all seem to be gone.

I feel your pain, my friend. I certainly have changed my buying in response to the infested waters.

Not that I am a high value card purchaser, I'm far from it, but this sure has opened my eyes significantly.
