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.
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.
