Anyone have an opinion on this one? It is another "handed down from grandfather" story, but he says he will guarantee authenticity.

The current seller borrowed the picture from this auction.

Thanks Red; you're right it is the same card. That one looks pretty nice for a PSA 2.

Why is this a once in a lifetime opportunity?

There are bad cards listed on ebay seven days a week!

I noticed the seller cropped the picture real tight around the card so the holder in the scan he 'borrowed' couldn't be seen.

So what do we do, go after this guy, or is it useless to try to keep up with all these scammers?

Eric.. it never hurts to report a bad auction.. even if you don't get him this time, maybe he'll do it again, and they'll have multiple reports on the guy..

The bidding is up over $10,000 now. I sent the seller a message asking if his grandfather bought the PSA 2 and then cracked it out before he gave it to him.
