The person selling this didn't even bother to change the creases from the T206 proof in the scan he stole. He also has other auctions that he got from an old house, estate sale, etc. saying things like "these are not graded, but many of the cards from this house i graded and they came back legit." Most of the bidding is by the same people, often people with 0 feedback. He himself has 7 feedback all from purchases, none from sales.

The worst thing is I e-mailed this guy about 8 times, each time he writes back vigirously defending his point of view, and he won't admit that he's a thief. I went ahead and sent an e-mail to every person who bid on one of his auctions letting them know it was a scam, including all the shill accounts as well. i told him i will continue to do that if anyone else new bids on one of his auctions. what else can i do? ebay doesn't listen, so hopefully i can at least save some people their hard earned money. you should hear this guy rant and rave to defend himself. After my e-mails, he even added something to each one of his auctions to try and defend himself, but all he ends up saying is he thinks these are real - he doesn't buy fake cards - give me a break!

like many of you, i'm SO tired of this. there's not much we can do with scammers except resort to being vigilantes and going after them 1 auction at a time. hope i save someone some money...
