Seller "Truckeemeadows" on Ebay....

[luciobar1980]

Ummm, if it's too good to be true it probably is? This guy has some outlandish cards listed, none of them graded, almost all of them seemingly super high grade and appear to be real, if not unaltered. I mean I know it would cost a fortune to have these graded right now, but what is your take on this:

The seller has over 400 followers, and his cigar box find has photos of the dang pristine cards in the cigar boxes. My take is his story and this seller is likely legit.

On a less serious note, I wonder if the Leon's famous Trucker Boy is a relative (he of the incredible collection of cards who was from Northern California, though the cards from Leon's find were overall not in as pristine condition).

Man oh man does he have some incredible items listed. That 52 Topps master set!

[Tao_Moko]

100% legit. Amazing cards and get 'em raw while you can.

[mrreality68]

Wow

A lot of great and diverse items

I cannot attest to about this seller or his items one way or the other

Love the Ruth hat and Ruth underwear b
Advertised box with original underwear

Great looking cards no doubt about it.

Love the insane prices sucking up every single penny plus more with the “story”. But this guy has been around for years with his cigar boxes and countless stories.

Why grade when you can ask $5k on a $200 card. “I don’t need to squeeze every last cent…”.

Sure as hell seems that way.

Damn my eyes!

Good thing it was free just to look at those.

Amazing.

sounds legit, looks legit

Legit and crazily priced. His 729k 52 Mantle he says is ex mint has a corner crease in the lower right corner. Probably a 3 and worth less than 10% of his asking price. I think his grading is several levels too high... Nice stuff though.

Can you provide a link? Way too generic of a name to get any good results.

Yeah, definitely. His 52 Mays he describes as VG/EX has several creases. I think he's using ooooold school grading. haha.

I just had quite a long talk with a very good hobby friend who is in the business. This guy Rodriguez is a 100% scammer. He probably has the stuff but has so many lies surrounding his deals it's just crazy. I guess he goes by "Mclane" also. Just a very long web of lies. Anyone doing business with this guy should get their part of the deal first. As far as I know he has screwed over several auction houses for 5 figure issues. He sounds like he is a lunatic. Most, if not all, auction houses have banned him from bidding. Stay away!!

Thanks, Leon! The value that comes out of this board is immeasurable.

mentions Rod Rodriguez.

How do we know this ebay seller is the Rob Rodriguez discussed above who used to go by "waittilnextyear" on ebay? Did his name come up when someone won something? Obviously, its a common name.

If he has scammed in the past, albeit on a smaller scale, he might be going for the Power Ball of scams. Did he steal the scans? Graded cards cropped? IMO Ebay should be alerted to a jumbo fraud attempt.

[ALBB]

yes, thanks Leon.. maybe prevent a potential problem

I'm guessing he actually has the cards, or the scam wouldn't last very long. My initial suspicion was more like: altered cards or cards that present very nice for their grades, cracked out and hyped as "high grade".

If indeed a scammer, the seller sure has figured a way to excite the card collector with the below photo.

I'll admit many of the cards look "good" to the eye, but I can see a few areas of concern on the 3-4 that I am extremely familiar with. A final judgment is too hard to make, given the low resolution images. Why low rez??

Also, after touting his unprecedented money back guarantee, the last line of the description section says:

"You are more thn welcome to return card within 3 days of receipt. However, once sent in for grading, all sales are final, regardless of grade."

So as soon as you send in to grade/authenticate it, the sale is final?? What if it fails? Hmmm...

BEWARE

He has!. And to reiterate, my sources say he probably has the "stuff". My source also told me this guy has made at least a 5 figure purchase and paid for it. But that seems to be an outlier. Let the drooling continue...caveat emptor

Though if you notice the cards in the photo are no where in the same condition as the items for sale...

Not disputing anything you have said but that is for the whole master set, not just Mickey.

My mistake on that. Still overpriced but not as bad as originally thought.

He's there. You've just missed it.

[Jewish-collector]

I wonder what the large price difference for this card is for between these 2 listings

https://www.ebay.com/itm/11486657481...QAAOSw4RZg1nsS

and Truckeemeadows
