Default Fraudulent seller on eBay - CAREFUL

Posted By: Ken Roili

Hi everyone, check out ebay 5232009706

This seller has scammed others like this

- For autographs, he traces them AFTER getting the JSA or PSA/DNA LOA and then later if you catch him, he says "I got it like this, the seller must have frauded me!"
- For cards, he is known to buy nice stuff, and carefully crack the PSA seal, put in a lower grade (like a high end PSA 5 into a PSA 6 or 7 holder for the same card), and then re submits the same card again. Rinse and repeat.

The average collector puts the card away in his/her box/personal collection, assuming the PSA label says it's good and a certain grade, never to realize anything until it's too late.

In terms of the autos, check out this email Spence sent me when I pointed out the signed Cobb fraud
NOTE: seller has an update saying "the LOA and SPENCE to be unconditionally and 100% authentic, untraced "

Spence says: "Just wanted to let you know I just spoke to Jim and we did some
research on the baseball. When we saw the item in our office and authenticated it, the Cobb signature was very faint and is now clearly enhanced.

It is extremely unfortunate that is situation is present on ebay, however we feel confident that if the buyer would come to us we have the necessary documentation to prove the item was enhanced after our letter was written."

Anyone else been ripped off by this guy?
