Ebay Alert
 

While mindlessly trolling through Ebay, I believe I may have uncovered an item with a most unpleasant odor; it is a '33 Goudey #149 Ruth graded PSA 7 - a gorgeous card, probably at least a 10k gem. Starting bid is a modest $500with the vendor being one U.S. Inermes with an even more modest feedback of only 2. Of course, the Ruth is his only item on offer. Hmm. Perhaps some kind soul can post the listing.
My hunch that this card is hot, hot, hot. Maybe the PSA id no. might determine if has been stolen.

Same card sold at Goldin Auctions in April 2017 for $29400

will consider serious offers is also a hint of a fake sale


Of course if there was an 'owner registry' one could look up that card and contact the owner (masked email to protect identity) to see if they are selling the card

Decided to ask for more pictures and here is the predictable response (LOL):

Thanks for the inquiry. My husband passed 6 months ago and I am not familiar with the sports industry. I will try to accommodate your request but make no promises. I will get advise first. Thanks, Kat

The scans in the current auction were lifted from the Goldin auction.

It's no longer listed. Too bad, I was going to ask if they allowed for local pickup if I won the item. :D
