This is an ago old scam sales technique used for centuries. The buyer sees this seller who "knows nothing about this expensive card" and thinks there's a rube involved in the sale. And the buyer is correct. There is a rube involved-- the buyer.

Also note that the buyer thinks he's pulling a fast one on someone who's ignorant, which means the buyer is less than honorable.

So the key to avoiding these types of auctions is to be honorable, because the honorable person who thought the cards were genuine would advise the seller to pull the auctions, get them graded and re-auction them to get fair value.
