I just looked and can't find his comments.

The reason I responded was whether you intended to or not you made a blanket statement and I think that opinion is wrong and I think the thread isn't warranted.

The card was sold on October 3rd and the seller has completed several other higher dollar sales since. I would like to think that if they were moving "hot" merchandise and only priced this card at a fire sale price to move it quickly they would have done the same with their other cards. If the goal is to get in and out they certainly haven't done a very good job if they are still selling these "hot" cards nearly a month and a half later.

Perhaps this site gets more traffic then I realize but I find it hard to believe this is the first place someone would look if they were missing cards. I would imagine that EBAY would be and they could look at the cards sold and contact the seller themselves.

I can speak from experience when it comes to buying items at a fraction of the current value. In those instances I sent payment as quick as possible and simply crossed my fingers hoping the merchandise would come. Thankfully in every case it did.

At the end of the day I think just about every single person would have hit the BIN and while I don't actively collect baseball anymore I would have snagged that baby as quick as possible. One of the benefits of actively searching EBAY is finding mispriced items and it happens every day in all sorts of genres.

My mind isn't wired to think everything is a fraud or that people are out to get me. The biggest mistake the buyer made was trying to share his win with fellow hobby members because not only did he have to deal with the comments that the card was fake he now reading a thread that suggests that since it is real he bought a stolen card. I think unfortunately the lesson here is if you hit a home run keep it to yourself as someone will find a way to rain on your parade.
