war_eagle_vintage maybe Battlefields twin?

Wow. Good bet. She's from Alabama, right? The War Eagle reference is telling (as are the photoshopped pics and overly embellished descriptions).

[savedfrommyspokes]

Good catch. In the feedback war-eagle has left for others, the listing's titles seem to match perfectly to battlefields.

Their shipping "polices" seem to match up to battlefields also. Same blue background and no back scans, like battlefield.

Coincidentally, ebay is running an offer where if you list/sell 500 items before Nov 18, there is a 20 percent discount on FVF....maybe trying to take advantage of this promo.

Love the back story though.

Great catch, definitely may be the same. War Eagle is Auburn's battle cry, no? And Battlefield is from Alabama? Larry, you are a regular inspector gadget!

Appears that all stuff listed in their store is certainly TPG worthy...so why push it raw if not photo-shopped?

[MikeGarcia]

.I just checked out the new stuff listed last night and if these are all legitimate holdings , there should be heavily-armed security all around that home....museum-quality jaw-dropping cards , no back scans , virtually identical descriptions except for the name change in the first line.....this should be fun to watch....I'll take the Cobb and one of the Gehrigs....

It's going to be a bloodbath of returns when the buyers find out they have been ripped off. This Battlefield ID will get hosed up with negatives just like the other one. I don't know where Karma is for this seller but it has to be around the corner. No one can do that much bad stuff for so long and not have bad luck. I certainly wish them the worst ...

I do have to admit the player quality is, dare I say, BREATHTAKING!! Now if only the green Cobb would show.

Funny thing is.... I was researching this exact comparison and figured I would come here to check if anyone else noticed.

Obviously old news!

I think it is a dead give away that they are one in the same.

A sincere "thank you" to all that have called this seller out. A card on my want list showed up today and I recognized that name immediately because of this board.

Makes me want to buy and return just to give a neg.

I had similar thoughts. Would be cool if members could unite and win all auctions at one time and either never pay or return them all. The only problem with returning would be having to wait 15 days to get your money back.

I have won two auctions from war_eagle_vintage and was following some of his recent card auctions on eBay. I looked in Friday and saw they were all removed. I inquired with eBay and they informed me there is “potential fraud”. I searched sand found this informative board and decided to join. I have since requested returns of the two cards purchased from this seller and am awaiting his response.

I also had messsged the seller as to why his cards were removed. His response was “he reached his limit.” Ha!

Thank you to all you kind folks for this information.

my faith in E-Bay has been restored--amazing .

Welcome, and nice first post. Too bad you had to deal with this seller to find us.

It is great to see that the board's member's fraud fighting efforts are paying off. I would also like to say thanks to those who help us navigate around the bad sellers.

they've sold two raw Mickey Mantle cards in the past month that fetched more than $10k.

...and the winning buyers won't know they've been "stuck" until they submit them for grading.
