Look at the auctions that this person currently has running. I am no expert but I can tell you those Cobb t206's are as fake as ohiotarheelfan's cards (wide borders, lettering on front is wrong, back is horrible). The Mantle appears way to colorful. And of course, all auctions are private. They are all high end HOF'ers and only the most popular series. Is this ohiof***stickfan again?

I feel relatively confident that they are all fake. At least the one I received from him was. In my case, he used a scan of what looked like a real '33 Goudey Ruth (#53), then sent me a fake which he'd tried to doctor up to look like the scan. I knew that was probably going to happen, because after I paid (and the check cleared), but before I got the card, I got an e-mail from someone else who had been defrauded by this same seller, telling me that he was stealing scans and sending out fakes.

When I told him I wanted a refund because the Ruth card he'd sent me wasn't the one I'd bought and was a fake, he sent me an email saying that there were no refunds on ungraded cards because he couldn't guarantee their authenticity. Since I imagine that he's making the cards he's sending out himself, that is probably the truest thing he's said.

I've already filed a fraud complaint with the FBI's internet fraud division, have complained to eBay, and am in the process of filling out a mail fraud complaint with the USPS. I'm also going to contact the New York Attorney General's office and file a fraud complaint against him. I don't know if doing any of that will make a difference, but I'm hoping that if I keep screaming, someone will eventually do something about this scumbag.
