..you can actually see there's something printed on the other side because of the "thin paper stock"... |

I think it's a good idea that this subject is discussed. I don't see anything wrong with Dan's post. There are new readers of this forum every week and some are not aware of AAA & NASA. It's too bad this forum can't have a "top ten" list of previous threads. Elliot???? |

I wouldn't mind seeing it once a month or so, but do we need to know wabout everything that appears on eBay? |

...but, given the number of people still bidding-on and buying this stuff (based on "seller's other auctions") I figured people still aren't aware of the scam. And, maybe some of them might stumble upon this or other threads relatred to it. |

I see Jay's point and your point. I think I will side with you on this one though. I looked at feedback for probably the most prolific, recent, buyer in vintage stuff on ebay yesterday. He has purchased a few PRO graded pieces of shat in the last week or two. I kindly emailed him to let him know that most likely the cards he paid big money for are trimmed. He is the Rockets Lover guy.....obviously new to ebay and not "in the know" about a lot of this stuff. In the event of helping others I will most usually side with helping people, with the possibility of being overtly redundant. The pain is less for us than the people we might save.....now carry on guys.....regards all |

There is a thread about "rockets lover" on the CU forum. Apparentely he's spent over 400K in the last few months on cards, and is buying EVERYTHING- pro, bgs, sgc, aaa, etc. at money-is-no-object prices. Might be a good time to start listing those extra cards! |

I was advised 'by counsel' to be subtle if I were to proceed, and diplolatically I contacted the seller of the Wagner tobacco card and each of the bidders to advise them of the history of the card. This was a couple of days ago and, at least so far, the seller hasn't stopped the auction and none of the bidders have cancelled their bids. |

...and, again, I do apologize for the redundancy if it does bug anyone. I think you all know what my intentions are by now, and you know I don't post things to annoy or simply to piss people off. |

Maybe the guy just has a lot of money and just recently got interested in cards. I read where Nicolas Cage just sold his comic book collection for a bundle, including his Action #1 - perhaps someone enlightened him and he switched to vintage cards. |

...would go by the name Rockets Lover though, Scott. He was almost killed by a rocket in The Rock, and had to inject himself in the heart to live. I would think he'd be more likely as Rocket Hater, or something like that. Good chase scene in that movie, though. Heh heh... I cracked up to see Connery flying around in that Hummer... |

Well done...I think these auctions should be emailed to every seller who has placed auctions and bidders who have bid on these type of worthless paper scraps--any volunteers with some time on their hands? The only thing I would have changed was to make the opening bid two cents...as in Scott putting in his two cents about this whole absurdity. |

Can't be done, for Libertyforall at least, as the auctions are private. |

the buyer can continue to pretend he owns something rare. He probably also pretends his wife is a supermodel when the lights are out. |
