LOL, no. I put it up for auction on here and another forum member contacted him about the card because they knew he needed it.

I just had 3 separate scammers reach out after posting about wanting e107 HOFers. They all had what I'm looking for at low prices. Doesn't take long to see through their shtick.

They will almost always give you another email address to contact them (or their buddy) and will go silent when you ask for net54 or hobby references.

In a community that's been around as long as net54, I can't see these guys getting away with much. Just be careful guys!

I have now gotten 4 different PMs for 4 different WTB posts. They are from two different “people”, neither of whom have a single post, stating “hey buddy I got what your looking for, email me at …..”. It’s clearly a scam. Honestly, if you get taken by one of these guys, that’s on you. Do a tiny bit of sue diligence and use your head.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this little card in B/S/T.
