Is this something that needs turned into ebay??
 
Found this mantle and everything about this listing looks suspicious, never turned anything into ebay before??

Lol! That's so pitiful that it's funny.

Yes, it needs to be reported to ebay.

its funny he claims its a 8, but doesnt show the grade in the pics.
However, theres a barcode, maybe someone here scan it??

How to report him
 
How do I report im to ebay as a fraud??

rsdill2 07-09-2013 09:07 AM

Look at his other items: a '58 Mantle, OPC Gretzky RC, and G Howe RC. New ebayer coming out firing the big guns!

ALR-bishop 07-09-2013 09:07 AM

Ebay
 
If you look at the lower right of the listing there is a "report item" icon

These guys are getting bold.

Amazing on how quickly ebay removed this one, while they are much slower on others

He this time, did away with the SGC slab thing and put it in a screwdown.

Looks like he added more items...a 51 bowman Mays, a 56 mantle
Also, look at the lot...it does have some graded ones, but has some auto's pictures.
You guys take a look and determine what action to take this time. :cool:

And his attempt to spell Mantle ("Manle') in the title of his new listing will surely bring him much attention from many knowledgeable collectors.

KCRfan1 07-09-2013 05:31 PM

No returns. Buyer beware.

vintagebaseballcardguy 07-09-2013 07:22 PM

He has some rarities alright....first 51 bwman Manle I have ever seen!!

I got a good chuckle from that, Robert, until I saw with 6 days and 14 hours left, the auction's got 7 bids, sitting at $202.50.

Zero feedback rating. Horribly misspelled player and card manufacturer name. No return. Why would anybody not currently on mind-altering drugs bid on that? I know not everybody that buys cards has the experience that the members of Net 54 have, but come on. Even a ten year old kid could look at this auction, and see red flags all over the place.

the 'stache 07-10-2013 12:14 AM

Hmm, he's selling quite a few Mantles. This couldn't be a new Ebay account for Adr.....nah. :p

In a situation like this my barcode is always, "Sam, pour me the usual."

I hear ya, Bill. On one hand, some folks are so determined to hit it big and get rich quick so to speak that they are willing to spend big $ to do it even if it is obviously unadvised. On the other hand, it is alarming how uneducated some people who buy cards and memorabilia are. They have $ but do not take the time to do a little homework before spending. Net 54 alone is an excellent resource for collectors. I have learned a great deal from reading posts here. Hopefully, those biding on these auctions will not learn a hard lesson.

Kinda reminds me of when I was playing black jack at a table with a guy who was betting hundreds a hand - playing 2 hands at a time ( I'm sure so he could give them his money that much more quickly) - stand on 15's and 16's against a dealer 10 and NOT double on 10's and 11's against dealer 5's and 6's amongst a myriad of other poor decisions. Must have lost 5-8k in 30 minutes. "A fool and his money are soon parted".
