Is it ok to out a bad ebay auction here?

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.
