Default Fake card seller

I've seen some pretty bold scammers on eBay, but it's surprising to see someone's who's been around for 10 years, has decent feedback and is this audacious. Check out his other stuff. He has a spare '52 Mantle in case you need one.

Why do all these fake cards have those wavy cracks all over? Are they printed on?

At least one buyer caught on, and learned an expensive lesson. The seller responds with accusations.

Buyer paid $179 for a 1959 Mays PSA 10. How can anyone believe that card was real?

My mistake: the card was graded GMA 10. Whatever that is...

The rules posted on the 52 Mantle are worth the time to read. He apologizes to those who are “on the up and up” because he has to set the ground rules for newbies due to the numerous problems he has had.

I think GMA means that this seller wakes up every day and says, "Good Morning America! Can't wait to rip you off!"

I can't believe this! The negative rating that this clown received has been taken down. He now has a 100% feedback score, and there is no sign of this negative feedback. What is the point of a feedback system if ebay allows negative feedback to be removed? 100% MY ASS!

He didnt pay a lot, so hes passing along the savings. Another estate sale with nothing but some of the top cards in the hobby. Nobody ever stumbles across a box of roaches commons. Only Ruth's, Mantles, Cobbs, and Jacksons.

These auctions always read alike. Whenever I see:

"Original/Reprint: Unknown ". I know it's time to run away.

The one ripped-off buyer was incorrect. The GMA slab was not opened and resealed with a reprint. GMA disclaims evaluation of authenticity on their "website" - they are happy to grade the reprint as if it were original. They have even graded photocopies as the actual card.
