So, found the dumbass. His username is his actual name. Talked to my apartment management to search my building with the last name and see if the first two initials match up, they do. So the dumbass uses his real name as his ID and same city and state. Polic are searching tomorrow.

This is getting interesting.....

I bought a '57 Frank Robinson and waited for 7,8,9 days for it to arrive in the mail....never showed.....One day a neighbor comes over to me asking if I've been 'missing' any mail....turns out he, and a few others on the street were not getting USPS items they had been expecting either.....mail thief!.
Sooooo annoying as I bought that Robinson for a great price (psa 7) and have not had the opportunity to purchase one since.

Yeah was a surprise, but it was so easy to figure out. Who can be dumb enough to make a new eBay user id with your actual name? rsbrown2020. Went to management office, said search the last name "brown" and see if the "r" matches his first name initial and the "s" matches his middle name initial. And voila, it does. Called authorities last night, and hopefully that bastard still has the card.

Would love to find him and pummel him, but don't want to get in trouble either lol. Most likely h'd have no chance, as I'm 6'4" 220 of pretty solid muscle from when I was training to play ball but got injured.

Just want the card, if not, going to court for restitution.

Thank you to everyone who found this link, surprised it didn't sell. But it didn't have autograph in the title, and they didn't know the issue of the card. The officer even commented on how they are pretty unsophisticated lol.

If you threw the card away how is someone else finding it in the trash and selling it on ebay a crime or "unethical"?

Quite frankly if I found something that had been disposed of and may have value I would put it on ebay to try and get something for it.

No offense to the OP but from reading this thread I can only see one "dumbass" and it isn't the current seller.

Granted, if it was stolen that would be a different story. But that will be hard to prove, especially since there is a thread on the internet on how the card was thrown away.

Edited to add - But I do hope you get your card back. And if you do, starting this thread will certainly have served you well.
