There's a thread about halfway down the front page where the same seller relisted a trimmed T206 Johnson claiming winner did not pay. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

I've seen the same seller mentioned in a few threads.

I will say I bought some "high grade" '61 Topps baseball from him this weekend. I'll see how "high grade" they are when I get them.

This seems to be adding up to something rotten in the state of Denmark. I could see one person not paying....but two within such a short time period, on pre-war cards. I dunno.....I guess we will see how all of this pans out.

David, You will see some HIGH GRADE Trimming! Also the reason why he relisted it is because his shill bid was not outbid! What percentage of auction houses do you think Shill Bid? I think it is a very high percentage!

I remember I once said something to this affect and it turned out to be a board member that rarely used his ebay account making his bid percentage high. Just saying maybe it was a bad buyer.

Look at the percentage that the top 3 bidders of the 1st Gehrig auction bid with this seller. Didn't pay?? I am calling BS on that. This seller is a BLATANT SHILL!

I was the one that started the thread for the Walter Johnson right here. I provided the exchange he and I had as well to give people an idea of the type of seller we're dealing with.

This is not a coincidence. Not only does he sell trimmed cards and use adjectives to veil this, he also shills.

Here is the thread:
