Is this homemade, bogus, or is there an SCG ?

I think gimble200 used to post here and on the non sport side.

It reminds me when Homer Simpson went shopping for TV's and looked at such brands as Sorny, Panaphonics, and Magnetbox.

Gimble200 is a regular board member here, although I'm not sure what his screen name is on this board. He also is a long time reputable dealer, albeit using another ebay ID. I'll bet many of us have purchased from him.

He's NOT josefina1747. I'm not sure his actions are the problem here. He didn't create this grading service. He didn't grade the card. He is reselling a card from a questionable TPG and we all know that and can determine what it's worth.

Edited to add: Looking at the 2 different accounts, he's got great feedback in both. Perhaps this is a personal account and the other is his business? I'm just speculating.

Well it might be prudent in any case to mention that this seems to be the "mini" version of the card, graded or not. I don't see that in the listing.

Hey Anthony, is that what a dip $hit looks like?

[Matt E.]

Thanks Jim.

[Leon]

That card is pathetic.

Just because someone else graded a trimmed card Mint doesn't, in my estimation, excuse a seller who knows it's trimmed and that the grading service is BS but doesn't say so.

I've seen a few SCG's pop up now & then.
Here's another one taken from a diff seller on eBay

I'm not excusing him. I just didn't want him to be cooked in the same pot as the other guy they were talking about. (We do tend to jump to conclusions at times on this board.)

I agree he probably should have crossed it to a reputable grading service or disclosed the trim.


Edited to add: Seller has ended the listing and removed the picture.

Holy Crap!! I am the unfortunate seller of the card.. I have been away all day helping a friend remodel his house. I return home, pull up Net54 and start browsing. I start reading this thread and laugh only to realize its me selling the card. My account has been hijacked! This is my personal account, an old account. I have no idea how they got my info and were able to list an item for sale. The auction has been ended. I am waiting to hear Ebays response. I am very sorry this happened and am glad no one used the buy it now. Obviosusly the card is BS, I can only assume someone tried using my account in hopes of a quick sale and I would never know. I will keep you posted and this is all the more reason to change your passwords frequently. - Chris

Unfortunate to say the least and good luck Chris, I certainly hope this does not damage your rep. I appreciate honest people coming on hear to tell their side and I did change my password this evening on your advice. Thank you.

I echo Rawn's thoughts Chris. I never thought of the hijack possibility, but I knew there was something wrong when I saw who the seller was. I've bought a few things from you over the years. Enough to know you probably wouldn't trash your reputation for a couple of hundred bucks.
