Not trying to chastize him. He should have never allowed himself to get into this situation to begin with however. The words of PT Barnum ring true.

As for how to handle the fraud. Contact the police department. File a police report. Contact the postal inspector. Contact the credit card company.

I have not collected the 1933 Goudey set, but I have thought about starting it at times. Can someone please tell me how you can tell the card is a fake? Is there something obvious in the pictures that I should look for with other 1933 Goudeys if I do start collecting the set or is it only evident when the card is in hand?

I would make sure it is graded by SGC, PSA or BVG. If it isn't it is highly suspect. Not all raw cards are fake but hard to tell over internet.

I agree a hundred percent with Robert here. Like seriously, what the hell was the OP thinking? We're talking about a seller here with zero feedback and who has five dollar basketball cards listed for sale. On top of that, it took me half a second to realize this Ruth is fake, and guess what? I've never even owned one before! Oh, and the description made me laugh as well.

I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO HAVE IT GRADED BUT GOD'S PLANS FOR ME AIN'T UPPER CLASS IN MY DAY'S.

Wow! That is so ghetto, man! If you fall for scams like this, then you shouldn't be buying cards.

LOL, he even snuck in a "GOD BLESS" in all CAPS at the end.

That's EBAY 101 for being the first sign of a scammer, whether buyer or seller.

Run for the hills when you see the “ God Bless”

the hi-res images just look all wrong from a print quality standpoint. Frankly I'm shocked the seller provided them. The lo-res images are pretty nice looking.
