Maybe psa could come out with a tempered case. So that if it’s opened even a little it gets cracks all over it.

Before I joined this site I would have thought that if it were in a slabbed case it would be good to go.

I think my wife feels bad when I open presents and its eBay gift cards. I know she'd love to buy me actual cards instead of buying me gift cards but you just can't do that in this hobby. I have been reading and reading on here and I still am learning new stuff every day. I am sure I know about 0.1% of everything I need to know. This stuff blows my mind.

I sent the seller a message through eBay letting him know that the auctions had been reported to eBay and sent links to the correct listings. Below is his response. As of now, the auctions are still running.

So he just bought the cards then opened up a EBay account to sell them?

I just sent an email to a contact I have at Ebay that is really good at quickly removing these scammers. Hopefully this will get shut down within 24 hours.

Nice! But the cards are still out there . I’m sure we will see this again.

The Mays listing is gone but the Clemente is still there. Time to work on getting it removed too.
