But keep in mind, we're talking about an eBay deal here where the buyer is protected through PayPal. What would I have to lose? If I were dealing with somebody outside of eBay, believe me I would want to know a lot more about them.

To me, it's about more than will I get my card, it's about not wanting to support people of whom I don't approve, on general principles. But as we've seen time and again, "stuff" trumps all for lots of folks.

Crooks will come Ray – Crooks will come. The one constant has been baseball and crooks will know that the lure of that perfectly doctored and or shill bid card will prove too irresistible to resist.

From shady dealers to card doctors to the owners of grading companies selling cards to autograph authentication experts who profit from authenticating fake autographs to auction houses and individuals that employ shill bidding to counterfeit card experts to counterfeit slab experts ………., there seem to be a lot of shady characters and crooks involved in this hobby.

No worries Peter the FBI investigation surely will clean it up.

Gosh I surely hope not Peter. Some of those folks are admired and revered by many of this board's regulars.
