Beware - Beckett Proving their Relative Incompetence

[tedzan]

Hey Guys,

I might add that the Magie error card was printed ONLY with PIEDMONT 150 backs.

Ted: that nugget was in the 1st post. And I'll disagree with calling this a scandal, it's probably just an error, albeit on a very expensive card if labeled correctly. We as a group need to be careful about thinking EVERYTHING is a scandal.

Check the very first post.

It’s been bid up to $14000.
How does someone place a bid of this magnitude without knowing what they are buying?
I remember examining the Sheffield upper deck error card for hours trying to figure out which one had “SS” upside down.

This one is pretty straightforward. You need to be aware only that the name is spelled 2 different ways. Lol

$14,000 is what the seller put the starting bid at.

The seller appears to have changed their eBay ID right before listing the card as well (ID was changed on 4/2) so I would imagine that any emails to the seller will go unanswered as its likely they know the card isn't what the label says it is.

Ahhh, I see.
I reported to eBay as a fraudulent item. Will see

What's a Magie?

Is anyone from Beckett on this forum? I would assume they'd pull the cert # if they're made aware of the error.

The parts to this:

1) Beckett made a rather embarrassing mistake, 2) The seller is unethical and a scammer, and 3) It's up to the buyer (though I doubt there will be one) to read.
