6 figure fraud on the BST - Ruth Rookies

jbsports33 · #1 12-15-2017, 07:13 PM

When I noticed them and gave them a look, my first thought - was surprised to even see them on the BST

Thanks Jimmy

I have a better idea: we tie this low-life POS next to an enormous wasp nest. Next step is to piss off the wasps - throw big rocks at the nest or play loud Coldplay songs - then just sit back with some popcorn and enjoy.

You may have put a bit too much thought into this. Yikes! Although not an entirely unfair punishment.

I like it...but lets add a twist.

I say we cut off his eye lids while he's tied to a palm tree until he dehydrates out and starts to go crazy and the Marlins will look like a real MLB team...

That's cruel and unusual punishment. Shame on you Todd.

Pretty impressive to learn that a member here is the true owner of BOTH of the Ruth rookies that d bag was trying to sell. Man, I�d kill for just one!

I agree, amazing cards which is why I gave it a look - thanks for the additional info Leon - we should all do research before buying really high end cards! or any card/cards

Seeing them didn't throw me for a total loop. I have seen some cards over there that would be 6 figures. (I think Jeff L had a CJ Jackson that might have been). I personally sold a 50k+ card to another member a long time ago. Our members are our best safeguard. Please don't ever do a large deal on the BST without knowing or vetting your trade partner 100%. Please PM me and I will help in those instances if need be.

This guy contacted me directly about a week ago through PM and asked if I was interested in these Ruths. I said no (not bc I didn't want those cards - they are awesome) because I didn't have $300k just sitting around burning a whole in my pocket. I did think it very odd that this was how he was trying to sell such major cards, but I have done some larger deals through BST and thought oh well; I did suggest he may have better luck with an auction house. He also asked if I had anything I would sell and if I knew anyone who would he interested in these Ruths.

All that said, when I was interested in a card from a person (not even always a member) I have never dealt with, I have always vetted that person by asking (privately) other board members, including Leon. Net54 is a huge resource that way.

So this guy was trying to sell someone else's cards? That is destined to fail on a deal this size. No way I am sending that kind of $$ ro some random without seeing the card first and taking possession of the card the instant I give over the $$. Sounds to me that this guy, beside being a criminal, is a few cards short of a full deck.
