Why does the baseball collecting hobby collect the most despicable people that walk the earth? It is just sickening.

It's pretty much a microcosm of society, no better or worse, in my opinion. For those of us that don't cheat and only want to have fun collecting (admittedly I do make some money from the hobby, but my first passion is collecting), it makes it challenging sometimes.

Leon, it's not about making money, it's about cheating people and makng money on them.

Cheating people is never right. I know that's not you meant Leon. This crap must be mèt head on and disributed. We must speak out and tell the truth. This guy is a scammer and supplies other scammers.

Cheating and fraud is never good. This board has been quite good, historically speaking, about rooting a lot of it out.

It's endemic to any line of business or other activity where money is involved, baseball cards are nothing special in this regard.

Ok. Reported it with ebay as fraudulent posting. Also sent email to PSA. That will be Tuesday. Did what I can. This really pisses me off. Big time.

I can see where this sort of thing (empty Mantle flip) can be a collector's item, but unfortunately...it cannot be a collector's item because of the damage it can do to the hobby. I want to give the seller the benefit of the doubt, but if he doesn't listen to Frank and take what he's saying serious, then it's obvious that he only cares about the amount of money he can gain from it.

I agree wholeheartedly
