More FRAUD folks, please be careful fellow collectors

I second what Rick says, I can't tell you how many times we have had people come in to my Post Office in NYC crying and frantic trying to recall a package they mailed to Nigeria or Russia earlier in the day. I was lucky and got some of them back because I had an "inside' phone number at the International Service Center at JFK. If they sent it Registered or Express Mail, you had a chance of getting it back because that mail is kept separate but if it went regular air mail, you were out of luck. The supervisor at JFK told me regular air mail went on the big machine and once it went into the bag, that was it.

No one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

Maybe I should feel sorry for these people, but I keep thinking that it all comes back to greed. Give these people a chance to get something for nothing (or almost nothing) and they can't wait.

I don't know how to add the link here, but there is a T205 Hoblitzell - No Stats for sale for $76.24 coming from a Chinese Seller up now.

Seems "a little" cheap, but it IS one of the last few cards that I need for my Master set!

LOL, a little sloppy, didn't even bother to crop out the PWCC label.

Seriously though, how long before the Chinese start producing excellent fake cards in excellent fake holders? They have been doing this for some time in the coin market.

That's why I screenshot everything.

That is already being done but in Mexico instead of China.
