I saw it too, and immediately had the same thoughts as you expressed. To my way of thinking, a one day auction, pre-registration requirement, seller with 32 feedback and a BIN of $4,999 on this card probably does not bode well for the unlucky winner's prospects of getting what he/she paid for. Guess I'll have to pass on this one.

Last time we saw one like this the seller collected his list of approved bidders and then contacted them after the auction. He'd tell them that the other bidder(s) backed out and then offered to sell to the newest "sucker". He then disappeared with the money of all that would fall for it. He would run one day auctions so that he could get off of ebay's radar screen as quickly as possible. He'd then make his deals outside of ebay so that they wouldn't be involved.

The last time I saw this game played was about 8 months to a year ago with a PSA graded Delahanty N172 card. I tried to register with no success. The seller then contacted me and tried to sell it for less than the original starting auction price. I knew it was a scam so I had a bit of fun, I told them that I was sending a cashiers check to them. I received a few more emails from them wanting to know when the check was sent. "Checks in the mail." The address was in the UK. What a joke.

Hey Judge - I just sent an email to try to preregister for the auction you mentioned. The seller indicates in his auction that he is from Overland Park, KS which is where I live. I might be able to have fun with this one!

I knew that someone was from Overland Park KS. I purchased an N172 from you in the past. By the way THANKS - IT'S GREAT. By the way, don't out bid me on that Jackson card, now. If you do I'll have to hire a demo team in your area to let you know how I feel about that!!!

I know a (recent) previous owner of the T202 Johnson. From what he tells me the BIN would be much much less than 1/2 of what it recently sold it for.... HMMM

I sent two emails to the sellers of these items asking to be put on the list and I have not received any responses yet. Both sellers have two items listed so to cover all bases I sent one email for each item. I would go up to a buck on each item just to see whats going on here. And maybe contact ebay just to see if they care. Rob

This guy is no longer a registered user, so I guess someone's e-mail did the trick. Did anyone get a response from ebay that they were investigating this or had investigated him and decided to give his account the boot?

lots of things are possible in this life, but modifying a label of a scan that doesn't belong to you, to sell a card you don't own....well....just doesn't compute. No, the scan is doctored.

I found this thread too late, and was ripped off for $2000 yesterday. The item was a 1961 Fleer basketball set (all PSA 7). This transaction was done after his Ebay auction. Can anyone help me. Please e-mail me at jsschneider@comcast.net

Scott, I image is in a GAI holder, you can tell by the black insert to hold the card. It is more sloped than just cut out bigger on the corners.
