ebay Mantle PSA 5 1952 too good to be true?

[sycks22]

Crystal clear front, fuzzy back scan. There's your red flag.

seems the ebay seller gets good reviews...he just emailed me saying card sold and was legit whatever that means..

the card does show up on the psa registry and would be nice to email the person on the registry with the card to verify or see if theres a duplicate cert number out there... the consignor is now saying he added it to his inventry before listing the card and has since removed it.

Card sold in REA in 2012. For some reason the seller photoshopped out the missing pixel. And the back scan is DIFFERENT the REA one had a tilt the fuzzy backscan on ebay did not.

To those who called it, including the OP, yep... too good to be true. Saw it posted over on CU...

Feedback left

Is it likely the seller used the (photoshopped) scan of the front from the REA offering and then sent something different?

Did you guys read his feedback? 1952 MANTLE 20K SCAM! PAYPAL REFUNDED ME. FBI NEEDED. DONT SPEND OVER $5! I think you dodged a bullet

[1952boyntoncollector]

Just a FYI, guy never came thru with the payment on the Mantle card. He
initiated an e- check payment last Friday and kept insisting it was Ok to
send the card. Today Paypal messages me to say it did not clear. I'm going
to see who might still have interest from the people who contacted me last
week and ask the owner if he wants to sell it outright or list it as an
auction. At this point I wish he would've just given it an auction house to
sell.


should i buy it now?

If this seller is being truthful with you, the negative feedback that was left by the buyer could easily be removed. If the seller says the buyer's e-check did not clear(essentially meaning the buyer did not pay), then ebay dictates that feedback can be removed if: "The buyer didn't pay for a purchase and an unpaid item case is recorded against the buyer."

It will take 4 days for the UPI case to be processed(once initiated), but after that, one phone call to ebay and that feedback will be removed. As this seller is an "experienced" seller whom should know all of this, it will be interesting to see if this feedback is removed within the next few days.

After all these red flags are you seriously considering this???? WHY????? This already had scam written all over it and now the feedback confirming this does not deter you and you take the scam seller's in all likelihood bullshit email at face value?
