Stolen BGS 9.5 1986-87 Fleer #57 Michael Jordan Rookie Card Serial #0009527212

Why would you send an $8,000 USD card to someone you don't even know?

Now I did some research online and it looks like this criminal has been doing this to people for many years. Check out the link below:

He's currently trying to sell a frosted Gretzky OPC PSA 8 rookie in a FB group.

Yeah, doing that level of trade through the mail with someone you don't know is just asking for all sorts of trouble. Not worth the risk, especially with the subs that Jordan has. Holy jeez. That's an exceptional specimen of that card. Not sure why you'd want to trade that thing, but whatever floats your boat. Good luck in nailing this clown.

Thieves look for someone with right amount of greed to cloud their judgement.

If it looks to good to be true....

Maybe because the Gretzky is worth 30k??? Someone offering a much more expensive should be a red flag.

Yeah but it was from Canada, there are a lot more high grade Gretzkys up there, depressing the local market...

Why wouldn't they give it to PWCC or REA to sell then?

Doesn't matter the reasons here. Somebody got scammed, due diligence or not. Hope they nail this guy. Real shitty thing to to.

Hopefully all the Grading companies know this guys name to. Probably a pretty good chance the guy's not stupid enough to try and resell in the same holder.

Amazing people carry on this way. I have know plenty of people who would not take a $10,000 loss particularly well and would straighten this guy out real fast. Would look like something out of the Sopranos. Dude is waiting for the bus, car pulls up. 2 or 3 guys get out with baseball bats, very little discussion.

The OP showed up at the scammers house and confronted him. There is a long thread on the CU forum.

It was a joke.

Agree with that completely. No one deserves to get ripped off, and I hope the OP gets made whole with this transaction. But someone offering to trade a $25-30K card for a $9K card straight up is pretty sketchy.

Yea I agree. In a case like this it would be easy to suggest using an escrow company or a mutually agreed upon middleman. If it's a scam you will quickly see the other party make up a ridiculous excuse, or stop responding all together. Even if the trade wasn't so obviously one sided it's always smart to take precautions.

right it makes the victim less sympathetic. I guess if you do that 3 times and one time its legit you make your money back though for for to be a 'legit' deal you would probably be taking advantage of someone to do the 9k to get a 30k deal..

The crook though still deserves to be punished..

All of these ponzi schemes involve victims who thought they would make 15% on their money risk free.....they are also less sympathetic but the ponzi schemer needs to be punished.
