Can it be any more obvious?

This seller has run this scam with these "repros"
for most of this past year. He is from the greater
Detroit area and as soon the Negative Fdbks. catch
up with him, he changes his ebay name and starts all
over. I would guess his latest "name" is at least the
10th change. He sells under whatever new "name" he is
going by for about a month's interval. In addition,
most of his auctions are "private".

The scary thing about this guy is that his cards are
very good reproductions. My curiosity got the best of
me, and about 6 months ago I won his 1941 PlayBall
Joe DiMaggio. This experiment cost me only $10.-

This card is unbelievably real looking. The front and
the thickness of the cardboard are very close to my
real 1941 DiMag card. The only obvious indication that
it is a fake is the back of the card. While the back
is reprinted accurately, there is a subtle "pinkish"
tone to the color of the cardboard.
