This same Jack Ass also has a paper cut-out of Honus Wagner. There was a thread started about it on this board on February 10.

Back then, he listed the same Wagner cut-out on eBay with a Buy-It-Now of $10 MILLION dollars. He had the same over the top story about a "rare relic" and how valuable it was. I saw it and E mailed him and told him these are worthless paper items that were cut out of magazines. I explained how a guy in Hawaii named Roy Huff was behind this fraudulent scheme. That Huff bought old magazines and catalogs, cut the pictures out, put them in plastic holders, put a grade label and serial number on them, entered them in a data base and then sold them.

This seller, Alanat1977, wrote back and cussed me out. He said he knew Roy Huff personally and that they had sold almost $3 million dollars of these cut-outs. That I should keep my mouth shut and leave him alone and if I didn't, then he had relatives who lived close to me and that he would have them come to my house and take are of things.

After that, I E mailed ebay but they did NOTHING. I contemplated calling the FBI and having them investigate both his allegation of selling so much CRAP and also for threatening me. But I didn't do it. In retrospect, I probably should have.

Any way, this guy is a total jerk who is just trying to rip people off.

Edited to say, the Ty Cobb "card" was listed with a BIN of almost $10 million dollars. This Wagner was also listed but for a much lower, but still unreasonable, amount.
