It's not the fact that they're "dumb" necessarily, just shady is more like it. These bids IMO have agendas behind them with the intention of trying to re-sell the card as authentic to some unfortunate soul. Sadly this happens all the time.

Agree with Shoele$$ that it may very well be potential scammers bidding on the card. With 58 bids in the auction, you would think at first glance that there was a ton of interest in this fake card. But when you look closer, you see that there were only two different bidders above $12 -- and both of them have very low feedback.

Kevin you are very much more the exception than the rule in these cases. Been going on since I started Ebaying in 1998. Granted it was more prevalent back in those days as raw cards dominated Ebay listings, not as much now but it's still a common occurrence.

i even sent the guy an email saying how its not worth the few bucks, to end up with bad feedback. He responded, "thanks for the info"

Kevin,

Did you pay anything near $200 for your Wagner?
