Is someone about to be burned?

Things are getting bad on ebay! Just look at a completed search of 52 Mantles that sold recently:

-There are more but you get the idea. There is a .01% chance that any of those are real and some of the sellers are selling the same card again as I type this.

I hope someone really wasn't dumb enough to actually pay $6500 for the first one considering the front scan is of a raw card and the back scan is cropped scan of a legit card in a PSA holder. The second was was sold as "unknown" under the original/reprint section which should be an obvious red flag. The third one was purchased at a "flee market" and the guy says he is selling it as a reprint, but it still went for $620. The fourth one had the typical "I don't know anything about it, but I'm selling it as a reprint" line too and the last guy should ask how his uncle pulled a fake Mantle from an original pack. If these people don't learn "If it looks too good to be true it probably is" they are going to find out "that a fool and his money are soon parted".

Of those 5 Mantles, the first is the "best."

card mite get graded a 6 OR BETTER or better maybe 7.5 at the MOST

Only serious buyers , must pay immediately with paypal

i got it from my cousin who got it from our grandpa for like $10,000 in certified autos, i lost my job, thats why the good deal - hurry



I agree, a "mite" might grade it

Grandpa is a con man.... wrinkly old schister!

Not in a million years would i even consider bidding on the T206 card.... if you are dumb enough to bid, you don't deserve to own a real one.

Its like buying ocean front property in Wyoming! Line up, must be plenty of buyers! Free autographed Jimi Hendrix CD with every purchase!
