Check out this auction.

Al Kaline Rookie! 1954 Topps Card #201
Great Conditon! High Beckett Value! Item number: 2774397933

Looks like a reprint to me. I believe the seller is in Europe as well?

What would you do?

Thanks,

Glen

    It's hard to sheriff all of ebay. When I feel like it, I do, but ya can't do it all.
    Not long ago some yo-yo was selling a bunch of CrackerJack reprints and got tons of money for them.
    I tried to keep up with emailing people who were bidding, but it's a lot of work. (amazingly it wasn't a private auction).

    If you feel like it, go for it! I think we've all done it in the past.

    I hate to see eBay sellers who blatently misrepresent their merchandise. This is clearly NOT a 1954 Topps Kaline card. But I do think the buyers have to take some responsibility to know what they are bidding on, too.

    if you try to police ebay, you will never get a chance to sleep. look at all the clowns that keep buying asa bobby orr rookies , how can people believe someone has a 100 high grade orr rookies?

    If I see a blatent, outright SCAM, I will e-mail the bidders (and many times the seller - although I very rarely get a reply from the seller once I blast them) in a heartbeat. Like the others said though, you can't do it all. It is a downright shame that this bullcrap is happening though - screw people for some good old green?? Suprised these dorks can sleep at night. It is just bad for the entire hobby.image

    I will email the bidders. I like how the seller say's that the card has been handed down. Yah, from an archives pack!

    How do you block someone from bidding on your auctions. Now that I emailed the bidders and seller that this was a sham, I don't want this jerk to ever bid on anything I have up for auction.

    Thanks,

    I emailed the top bidder, who by the way has not bid on an ebay auction for over a year. Guess what, the email was returned to me. Not a vailid email address.

    Same here - it came back when I e-mailed them. Can't say we didn't try I guess.

    FYI...Here's the response from the seller I got when I blasted him that it looks like a reprint.

    Im not a collector but I dont think so. It doesn't say reprint on it anywhere. It says t.c.g. printed in USA. I was told it is a perfectly centered highly expensive card.

    Oh I get it now. Not ever seeing this card before I just looked it up in Joe's great book. Can it be considered MC if it has a white border on top? image
