Instead of having the wool pulled over your eyes, how about the entire sheep? Private feedback, private bidders. Private crooks.

When I used to take drugs, I got an autograph from God. Wonder what that will fetch?

And it looks like the seller is going to go out with a bang.

A Big Bang...

These are his prior ebay identities. I particularly like Roy Steelem.

Jack,

How does a person find out all of the ebay id's someone has/used? I would like to know just to make sure I avoid a seller.

Seller says,

"the second also has a ruth and its a sports king gum pack also looks terrific.I bought these at a flee market and the cards are gauranteed authentic.there does not appear to be any gum in the packs."

If I am not mistaken didn't these cards come with gum in the packs. Never opened one so I wouldn't know for sure.

What I do know is those wrappers are no where near legit. After owning a couple of Goudey wrappers, you can clearly see the folds are not correct.

There are so many red flags in this auction it makes my head hurt.

Just click on the sellers current id and you'll go to another screen that shows the member's profile, feedback, etc. On the right is a box with "id history, items for sale, etc". Here's roysteelem's:

Actually this auction has some historical significance. Most probably the first time and most probably the last time that you'll ever see an autograph of George Washington offered along with an item featuring Dave Ragone.

All 1933 Sport King and 1933 Goudey packs contained one card and one piece of gum. The gum itself was slightly smaller than the card. It was scored twice, so that an 8 year-old's tiny fingers could snap it into 3 (roughly) equal size pieces. The flavor was spearmint and in talking with original collectors the flavor lasted for just a few seconds. Back in the 1980's there was a small find of unopened packs of Sport Kings. When those packs were opened it was learned that the gum was placed up against the backs of the cards. Goudey's main business was gum.For anyone to suggest that there is no gum in an 'unopened' pack is ignorant. For anyone to buy such an item without investigation is just plain dumb.

These "packs" have been offered before on Ebay. Last time you could see his history and he had just purchased the corresponding wrappers. He had also purchased a PSA 2 Ruth I think.

his answer

"not true I was told sometimes you get lucky and there would be 2 cards
in
the pack and no gum which could have been the case here."
