If this seller is on the up and up, then why the hell did he open a new account just to sell these cards???
"Hi, I have been a seller on eBay for almost 12 years and my feedback numbers are almost 10,000 comments at a rating of 99.9% so please don't be concerned about my current 0 feedback number. I created this new account only to handle these specific items."

1. One scenario would be to simplify any tax consequences, assuming he was selling the cards as a favor for a friend/relative/neighbor/loan shark buddy etc. 2. He wasn't 110% sure they were real and did not want the negative feedback on his regular account. 3. Didn't want his wife, ex-wife, current-girlfriend, and the lawyer of his ex-wife to find out he has more $$$. Lovely Day... Last edited by iggyman; 05-10-2010 at 07:30 AM. |

The answer would be scenario #1. These were being sold as a favor for a co-worker. Here's the sellers main user ID - LINK

Here are my guesses:
1) Donovan 2) Beckley 3) Cross 4) Hawley 5) ? 6) Kinslow 7) Mack I used the 1896 and 1897 Spalding Guides and would call my i.d.'s educated guesses. Great group of cabinets. Last edited by barrysloate; 05-10-2010 at 02:29 PM. Reason: Edited to correct #3 |

Tony - Good research with the seller... Congrats on the pick up ! This type of grouping is not normally seen on Ebay, and the seller might have helped his cause to explain why he was doing what he was doing and list his other ebay acct in the description as I have to think a few folks held back, even though prices were robust.

Thanks Jeremy. I agree with you. Funny thing, I just hung up with the seller again to discuss payment and he even mentioned he should have placed them on his main acct. He stated he had at least 50 emails of potential bidders asking him about his (0) feedback on this new acct he opened up for just this one time shot. Said he'd never do that again.

Thanks Jay and Joe for the posts, I love how much information the book brings together, and when new information is added.
I agree with Rhys, I don't think they would have made more listing with their main account. I was hoping that the zero feedback would keep prices low but unfortunately for me that didn't seem to happen. Last edited by dstudeba; 05-10-2010 at 10:02 AM. Reason: clarification |

I agree with that list. #5 is a toughie. There are a bunch of guys on that '95 team for whom there are no known useful photos. Wish I knew who he was.

I only looked at them fairly quickly but #5 looks an awful lot like Jake Stenzel

Rhett- I also saw a resemblance to Stenzel. Problem was he looked like one or two other players too.
