New eBay scam- treasure hunting?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/195274079462
This takes the cake for the most unique scam I think I’ve ever seen.

LOL Wow
And speaking of 'buried'...look at his Bowman Trout auction. You can't even see much of the card. I hope him and his brother-in-law are having fun running up the phony bids.

Saw this on FB. Two zeroes are fighting it out. Zero to $13,400.00 in two days.

Like I've always said, never trust anyone who doesn't know the number of a Pete Rose rookie card. (And I won't even mention the Mantle 'rookie' claim.)

What this scam lacks in sophistication, it makes up for with cartoonish stupidity.

I wasn't aware that shipping the GPS coordinates costs $8.22.

I hear you also discover the dead body of Jimmy Hoffa, along with the lost city of Atlantis.

Bogus as all get out, but a legit version of this idea (not an auction) that involved riddles for people to figure out the location of buried vintage treasure boxes (and not necessarily ultra-expensive cards) would, I think, capture the imagination and time of some of us. Here is a link to something in this line that was created in the 1980's that could serve as a framework for a potential baseball card treasure hunt:

A variation of this that might almost be legal would be an offering of the coordinates where Cy Berger himself put thousands of 1952 Topps Mantles.
Of course, those coordinates would be a few miles off the coast in the Atlantic Ocean.

I'm always a bit frightened when I'm asked to do anything that involves a "hike into the woods" ...
