Why is it all the scammers ALWAYS have a reference to where they got the card? It always comes from Grandpa or been in the family or whatever...to me, that is a massive red flag. Nevermind the complete destruction around the holder...lol...

Seller is 100% a scammer. I have been eBay messaging with them. Says he got the cards from his Dad when he was 9 and is now 25. The problem is the Clemente is graded a 8.5 and half point grading was not around 16 years ago.

If these lowlives put half the energy into getting proper jobs, they might be able to get a real card to sell. Karma's a boomerang, though, so it'll come back.

Meantime how do we get these taken down? Will eBay take our word they are fugazi?

Gotta love this. I asked him why the card back was reversed and why the holder looks like it has so much damage...here is his reply -



I honestly don't know the answer to either. my dad bought a collection when I was a kid. I cherry picked them and took the best.

I am completely ignorant to all thing spirts cards related. I was expecting 20 30 bucks for this one. shows how much I know.

Not a bad profit for expecting 30 bucks...WOW. I hope this gets pulled. I reported it. I suggest others do as well.

Someone on the Pre-War side knows who to contact at ebay to get this pulled. I am sure Leon knows as well. I will email him.

After several ebay messages back and forth I basically called him a liar and said it would be a good idea to remove the listings in my last message.

The sellers story was complete BS with an impossible timeline of events.

That's funny...I only sent him the one message...he sent me about 5 over a two hour period. I guess he felt some guilt. It was clear this was TOTAL bs. Glad it was pulled, someone was going to be massively upset.
