I was successful on the first endeavor -- he's off eBay now. Moral to the story: sometimes it's hard to determine the idiots in today's world.

WOW! Calvindog you did very well indeed!!

Well done, Jeff. I'm sure that your litigating skills came in handy. Chalk one up for the good guys. We'll need to be on the lookout for this jerk registered under a new handle.

Great job!
Hope he doesn't surface with a new ID
Would be nice if he was held accountable and had to face fraud charges

Best part is that because ebay owns paypal they assured me the 5K sale -- which was legit they said -- would be canceled and no funds transferred.

Jeff that's good to hear. The unsuspecting buyer is in your debt!

Unbelievable that in this day and age someone is spending 5k on a fake card online. I guess the buyer doesn't read the board . Thanks for the effort Jeff and Dan...and others that reported this idiot. God bless!!

That's the other end of it - folks who genuinely mean it can't use it without getting suspected of being a shyster...unless they are old people with nothing to sell you.

Especially this card. There are a dozen or more Ruth rookie reprints on e-bay every day, and while many have the word "reprint" in the corner, many others do not. How can you not notice that the card being sold as original or authentic looks exactly like these others? It's hard to have sympathy for someone who won't do even a minimum amount of homework on this card. At least the one I pointed out a couple of weeks ago was a dangerous fake--a copy of an actual card rather than a reprint and slabbed (although by a non-standard TPG). Here this card just screamed bogus.

Jeff, can we borrow you for the autograph side? .
Great work.
