Is it ok to out a bad ebay auction here?

Just like the post above - the descriptions are the same.

JIMQ - Can you post a pic of the slab and flip?

The seller may have the authentic card that PSA graded, but is making reprints of the card, and using fake flips.

I would report it to ebay if I were you.

I was on chat with ebay, on the phone with them, and emailed trust and safety several times. They assured me it would be ended and nobody would be cheated.

My father in law lives across the country from me, and took photos but no clear scans. He said the holder came apart as he took it out of the holder.

I wish I had an alt ebay acct to big high enough to win, hopefully whoever wins it uses paypal and knows a fake when they see it.

Ebay doesn't seem to care very much. Always use a credit card and paypal for 2 levels of protection I guess.

I sent message and stated the case appears to be cracked--

their response "down side but nothing to effect the card."

I reported this fake '53 Mantle a few weeks ago. Clearly a fake as the red box that contains Mantle's name stops before the left border. It is supposed to go all the way to the left border. Used the eBay live chat and they really didn't seem to care and also assured me that nobody would be scammed. eBay just doesn't seem to give a damn.

Jim,

The same thing happened to me about two years ago with a Clemente rookie. You may remember it from the PSA boards. I have the crook's contact info. He was buying PSA graded cards, cracking them and replacing them with copies. He would then send the card to Beckett for grading and sell both. So, maybe check for the real card being sold on ebay recently.

I also have contact info for US Postal Inspectors. No one really cares much, but they did follow up with me. Feel free to PM.

Hi - yep, I remember that and all the cracked and fake psa slabs on Craigslist from a couple years ago.

He told my father in law that he bought it recently on ebay and it's exactly how he bought it. I don't have VCP and don't know if that would help.

If I was in the market for a 53T mantle in psa 1 (I'm not since I have a much better one - mine's a 2!) I would look at closed auctions. If that happened you would see the same card with a different seller and bad feedback.

I hope nobody gets hurt too bad. Ebay was no help.
