Ted- I do in fact have a bridge nearby...the Brooklyn Bridge! And it is for sale.

This belongs on the BST.

I don't think the seller was trying to fake anyone out with a blurry photo. He took the same horizontal photo for all his cards including his 1999 Champ Bailey. His card selection seems flea market-ish to me; maybe where they came from? I'm leaning toward what Barry said, Fake front. I don't see the overlap he is referring to but the back just looks real to me.

Well...I don't actually have the deed for the bridge. It was only hypothetically for sale.

Same seller of the other Plank that went for $550, sold a 52 Mantle for 5000 a few weeks ago, and now has that same card up again. Either a 2nd fake or a return. Same thing with the Rookie Joe Jackson's, has sold 2 or 3 of those. Funny how this seller is new to Ebay this month, lists only the top cards, originally states they would not accept Paypal.

Who are the mental midgets bidding on these? Maybe if the bidding on these would stop then the selling of these would.

Looks like he is re-listing the Joe Jackson. Just had a neutral feedback left from a the buyer of that card last week. He still hasn't recieved it.

Listing a card as "unknown" is one thing but he is listing his junk as "Original" and should be subject to criminal prosecution. Also I wish ebay would have some kind of chat forum on the auction pages so any buyers would see a discussion about these cards being bogus. Or a "fake"-"original" poll.

I've reported the 3 current item he has up to Ebay. I also contacted 6 or 7 of the previous buyers of his items, 6 or 7 I guess is all Ebay will let u contact in a day. So I'll contact the rest tomorrow.

Just asked them if they knew the card they bought was a fake and if it was returned. If they reply I want to ask them why they thought it was real with so many red flags. I hope to educate them a lil' cuz the less stupid people in the world the better. Minus me of course the world needs me......for something, just not sure what yet ; )

How do sellers get away with this? It is great Moe that you police these auctions the best you can. I just feel bad for these folks..

I only buy bridges that have been graded by PSA or SGC and are encased in plastic

Looks like the seller is a 19 year old girl.

Well one of the buyer, actually the 1st, so I originally thought maybe the 1st card they sent out was real to establish good feedback, but as it turns out the 1st buyer from Baseballchick who bought the Leaf Ruth, had no idea the card was a fake when they rec'd it and up until the point I contacted him. I told him to get it checked out asap, 2 days later his response:

"Hey man, I just got my 1948 Ruth checked out and
it is a fake. Thanks for the heads up. I would
have never known. I am in the process of getting
my money back. I will keep you informed. Thanks,
Heath"

And yet Ebay ignores me when I keep reporting this sellers items, they are not taking them down. Unbelieveable. And now they have another fake Ruth and a fake DiMaggio. I'll just keep contacting the winners. Ugh!

How do you contact the winner, i thought they remanined anonymous?

I reported the Mantle but it still went for $4,200. It looks like she it taking a scan of a original and then send them fakes. The card in her hand is not the one in the close up scan:
