I bid because I absolutely knew for sure they were reprints. #96 Lew Riggs absolutely has to have blue ink on the back. This one is green. The other Diamond Stars were also reprints. He even has other reprints of non sports cards. Bottom line - the guy's a crook, so I bid on the two most expensive cards - the other was Medwick - because I'm so sick of scam artists on eBay constantly getting with blatant thievery. That's why I was pleased that I had won. But I've never done anything like that before, so I felt a little guilty.
We messaged back and forth and he ended up just telling me to mind my own business - which, I suppose is a valid point, but also a tacit admission of guilt. He certainly knows what he's doing.
That's what I was actually wondering: has anyone else ever tried to interfere with an auction you knew was a scam? This guy turned right around and re-listed the Medwick for $150 BIN and it sold right away, probably to the underbidder. So my efforts were a waste of time anyway. But someone got screwed out of $150 because the Medwick was also a reprint. But does eBay care? Noooooooo. Whatever. I tried, but to no avail. It was kinda fun though.
