not to steal your thread but a few years back i bought a gehrig card off of ebay for $1200, paying with cashier's check it was cashed right away and not hearing back for almost two weeks i contacted the seller, after several ignored emails i decided to file out a police report (i worked there so i had blanks) and send it to him stating i'd turn it in if i didnt hear from him...
long story short, the wife (supposed wife) said he died and can she send me some stuff to make up for it. i was dumb and said yes. she sent me a bunch of modern baseball collectibles (mostly junk) and a few late year cards of mantle, aaron, no cash....i had to sell off everything over 3-4 months and recooped about 75% of my $1200.
i wasn't happy but i learned my lesson. i dont believe the guy died, but i do believe i scared him
