Agree buying by from a low feedback seller is risky ( as for stupid...a lot of stupid people bought some amazing cards from me when I got back on eBay several years ago), but a card like this may eventually end up being offered by a more seasoned seller....idk....it's scary

Guy has sold some $10 commons but now all of the sudden has a 5K Mantle card? People need to apply reason.

He did also sell a 56 Topps set for $1900, though how many of those are fake I have no idea.

Nailed it, Pete, but it is very scary. Way to be on the lookout.

Highest regards,

Didn't we have some members here who could get an ebay auction shut down? What happened there?

It's worthless to try. I told Joe Orlando who says he told ebay, still no action was taken.

I find this statement very concerning. It's one thing when some random people report a card as fraud. Although a lot of you guys are obviously experts ebay doesn't know that. But to have essentially the head of PSA tell them a card is a fraud and they still let someone spend 5k on it? Not good.

its an easy lawsuit against ebay if that happens and the card is fake...and the buyer cant collect back from the seller he could go after ebay
