Always is smart to read the full description, very misleading, and am sure is fooling some bidders.

7 Prior rookies?????

That is VERY misleading, I sure hope all of the bidders are well aware of that...
How much does one of those rookies sell for?

It lists for $20 and sells for $10-$15 right now.

and he's charging $4.00 for shipping--another big rip! Postage for seven raw cards will be $0.80-$1.00, so he's scamming another $3 with his shipping.

what bothers me besides the title is he shows 6 priors in the picture, leading you to believe you're getting all prior rookies. however, it's always up to a buyer to READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION. much like on the "1 of 1" titles that really turn out to be "homemade/stamped by some joebob in vegas" 1 of 1s- or "1 of 1 b/c i haven't seen another b4 or b/c i have 1". and of course the endless auctions that put BGS PSA in the title simply to draw more eyeballs. people have told me i should do that to my auctions (I sell a lot of rcs), but it's not worth it to me and i believe it's dishonest. sure, it probably costs me a few $s, but at least my auctions are honest and my feedback's perfect.

If you look at his other items, he seems to be doing it on about 1/2 of his auctions. It is obviously done on purpose to catch the people that don't read the entire descriptions. He puts a bunch of babble and nonsense in his descriptions on purpose... then about 10 lines down you finally read his little disclaimer "please keep in mind you are only getting 1 of the (title) card, and 10 other blah, blah, blah (junk) cards.

I bet you he only gets about 1/5 of the negatives he should have (and he has a bunch already), because most people feel stupid for not reading the entire description, and don't want to bring attention to themselves by posting a negative.

This guys scamming a ton of people with this... look back at the winning bids on some of his auctions.... this one got $27 (for about $13 worth of cards) plus $4 ship. Over twice the book value for the cards. Not to mention, he says in his description that the scan is an "example" of the card you will receive... so you know that he's also sending out dink'ed up EX grade cards.
