If you can tell me where he bought the Murr'y, I can tell you what he paid for it.

I was just thinking a bit could this entire situation with Adrian be some elaborate ruse. Could he not in fact own any of the cards he purported purchased. He comes on net54 causes a huge scene with the intent to make a large portion of the collecting community believe that he owns the cards. He then waits a modest amount of time and offers the cards. He doesn't post the cards he is going to sell only points the potential buyers to other sites where they can be viewed. He also has specific instructions about payment that are not the norm. Could he be trying to sell cards that he made high profile that he doesn't own. Boy that would be some preplanned swindle.

Could it be possible?

Just a thought.

He didn't seem smart enough to pull that off. Unless that was part of the ruse.
He came off too nutty and manic for it to be an act in my opinion. Just another whack job who unfortunately found this site.

I finally figured it out!! You are right, it was all a ruse. Adrian is Keyser Soze from Unusual Suspects!! "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.....and then...poof...he's gone."

One of my favorite movies "The Usual Suspects".

"How do you shoot the Devil himself in the back? What if you miss?"

After reading all of the posts in this thread, I get the feeling that everyone is kind of wax nostalgic for the Summer of Adrian. Leon, could you let him have user rights again just so he can respond to this thread? Everyone on here needs to have that last "summer fling". Messy divorces/breakups, name calling, threats, outlandish accusations, schemes, scams, tall tales and everyone's blood pressure spiking. Who needs TV when you can come on here and watch Adrian bring about chaos and mayhem?

And for $125 for shipping, I would want the card hand delivered by a Hooters waitress.

For $125 I'd prefer cleavage delivery by a Hooters waitress.

Maybe we should start a poll asking how many of us miss Adrian.

He also listed his PSA4 52 Mantle, stating it should be a 5 or 6. And the auction will run for 3 days and if no buyers he'll keep it. He listed it and pulled it within 19 minutes. I say give him a 3 day pass to return here to answer questions on the thread

Wait, hold a sec...it's back.

Adrian's bipolar is kicking in.

[Peter_Spaeth]

A quick review of his recent bidding shows several major cards purchased that do not appear in his feedback, and two others that have sarcastic positives and have been relisted. His 100 percent feedback is certainly misleading. I would seriously recommend that anyone selling significant cards on ebay consider adding him (1952toppsmantle) to their blocked bidder list.

[ullmandds]

But pete, how is that possible...when good old adrian completes 99.6% of all his transactions?

Proof positive ebay's metrics have become a dismal failure!

Since a seller who gets stiffed can't leave negative feedback, yeah, it can be just a bit misleading.

[botn]

Unless sellers are allowing him out of transactions, he should be getting hit with unpaid item strikes. Used to be 3 and you were suspended. I am sure he has far more than 3. I guess the customer can never be wrong.

[Sean1125]

This guy is a joke...

"***I will ONLY ship this card out once the funds have cleared in my account***"

Pretty much says I want to pull the money out of paypal before I even ship... This is direct advertising that you cannot return the card and are screwed if anything is wrong with the transaction.

He does not even picture his own card... What a sheister...

He is charging $12,500 for the card is still charging $125 shipping... What a joke, I'd love to see him in person to call him an idiot and slap him upside the head. This guy is an artist.

[nsaddict]

He recently purchased 2 Ruth strip cards and the seller accepted best offers on both. Now both relisted as he "changed his mind again" what a loser. But he did pay for a 2010 Upper Deck set and a pair of handcuffs??

[Cardboard Junkie]

But the zone said, "I'll never sell the Murr'y card. Never ever ever never!!!" Adrians niece was supposed to inherit it from him eventually.Dave.

[Cardboard Junkie]

Over 12K and I don't think he even mentions the "paper loss" on the back!!
