It's like a slap in the face when you see something like that. Law enforcement have other priorities I'm sure, but at some point these people should be held accountable.

That is the bad part. It has been shown over and over and over that there is almost zero accountability for fraud in this hobby. Even the big fraudsters got a slap on the hand at best.

I had a guy on here trying to scam me a 53 Bowman Mickey Mantle PSA 3. He simply stole the pics on ebay and was trying to sell the card as his. Even photo shopped a coined picture! He hounded me for days trying to get me to buy it for a ridiculous low price!

Sadly the joys of ebay and the scammers that use them

I had trouble with a couple of Net54ers who tried to get me to send money to PayPal for a couple of cards I had listed here as wanting to buy. I checked to make sure because something seemed ‘off’ and sure enough both had 0 posts on Net54. Luckily I avoided the scans. This was a little over a week ago.
I also noticed on eBay a seller selling some beautiful vintage tobacco slabed cards at auction for like $6.72 starting bids, no reserve. I bookmarked them to see what people were bidding on them and they were removed by eBay the next day because he didn’t own them and the scans were ‘stolen.’

It appears this is a very common method for scammers on ebay. It looks like they catch them pretty quickly.
