Straight from Clean Sweep to eBay... With a Bump from Good to Ex Condition...

You can even tell it's still in a slab in the ebay auction picture. There are better ways to make a buck. He got a decent buy on a nice card, why not just be truthful about it?

Kevino35 is famous for pulling this kind of maneuver. Usually he removes the card from the slab and then doctors it while hiding his manipulations in a long description so he can get around a SNAD complaint. I never bid on this guys garbage even though he often has stuff I wouldn't mind having. It's just too tainted. In his defense though, I once called him out on a card doctoring job he had done and he removed the listing and I've never seen it return.

Totally agree - I have seen him in action at some local Boston-area auctions, and usually chuckle at some of the odd purchases, then seeing them re-appear soon on the Bay, in much better condition (at least in his description) than in the initial auction.

How does he possibly have 10,500 + feedbacks with 100% positive? So much for that system providing any real way of establishing credibility...

I senrt him the following question: "It appears that this card is in agraded case. Is it and what is the grade of the card since there is no mention of it in the auction. Drew".
We will see if he responds.

He responded to me. I posed the same question as well. He states that the card IS NOT graded. So I guess that settles that! Case closed!

I tried to neg him, he never sent me a card and when I opened a case with paypal he sent a bogus tracking number. When I pointed it out to paypal they cancelled the transaction and refunded me, so I didn't have a chance to neg him.
Googling him for back articles in The Sun Chronicle will reveal more info.

I will also send the "holder" question and see if he responds.

[vintagetoppsguy]

I don't know why you guys are toying with him on the holder issue. Either 1 of 2 things happened.

1.) He bought the card and cracked (or will crack) it out of the holder for the buyer.

2.) He stole the scan for his own listing.

Either way is unscrupulous.

If you want to know the truth, just call him out on it. Don't toy with him about the holder.

Agree. He did get a good price in the Clean Sweep auction. I stayed away because of the centering. Can't remember if I have ever purchased from this seller. Good detective work Brad.

I like his 34 Dean that has round as can be corners getting a EX grade. How about these beauties:

EX+/NM??? At Least Pro or Gem grading will trim the cards before giving them laugh out loud grades.
