I'm not speaking to this situation specifically, but I have found myself in a similar situation where I traded for a card at a local card show, posted it on ebay and a day later found that the guy I bought the card from still had the card for sale on his ebay store. He probably lived 20 minutes from me. I emailed him and he took it down, innocent mistake. This doesn't look like that, but there are innocent ways the same card can be for sale on two separate auctions.

I've bought cards at the National from museum curators who would've probably never taken them off their eBay store inventory without my intervention. |

That's true of course, but these pictures were taken against the same background.

Right, and that's the first thing that makes me scratch my head here, Luke.
Wouldn't somebody who is trying to rip off a buyer, or run a scam in the way that Ben described, use another picture? I mean, I look through a lot of auctions on any given day. But if I am looking specifically for a 1973 Nolan Ryan, be it au natural or graded, if I see this picture a second time, I am going to remember seeing the first. Then, I'm going to open another browser window, and look for the first auction. This almost makes me think there has to be a simple explanation that I'm not thinking of. The scammer couldn't be that stupid, could they? Or am I giving the average eBay user too much credit? Sigh. I wish we could just round these idiots off, and ship them off to Mars.

It's probably a moot point anyway, since neither of them should sell at that astronomical price.
