Is this planned?

It got me thinking. Is it possible the seller makes a totally fake Mantle, I mean not even close using maybe a printer and gluing a printed copy on some stock and then spends $10 and submits to PSA knowing he is going to get a questionable authentic flip. That is his objective simply get the flip. He then lists on ebay thinking given the price of a true authentic 52 Mantle at say 5K that someone will buy it for a decent price with the hopes they can submit to say SGC and possibly get that authentic grade. The potential buyers spend say $100+ to possibly make $5000. If so its an ingenious plan. He doesnt even have to lie in the listing just show it was returned as questionable.

The bids are already over $100.

What do you think is it plausible? Probable?

The seller even responds to a question that states its fake and the seller states he never said it was real.

BTW if that is his plan it is ingenious but it's a dick move.

I had already mentioned this scenario awhile ago.....heck just saying you found an old mantle beat up in some old house gets you 30 bucks on ebay...

can turn a dollar into 30 dollars pretty fast......when you sumit a fake mantle to psa what do you say the value is grade wise...? if its walk through you spending a few hundred if your value is over $5000....if your value is $100 then they know that you know its fake..
