Take a look at this guy's auctions. Everything is near perfect centering and very sharp corners. Are these fakes? Why aren't they graded? If they are authentic, is looks like they would get high grades.

    Now that I look at his cards again, he is selling some cards that are fairly easy to get in high grade, but the Mays and Musial cards are a lot tougher. Maybe he just has some really nice ungraded cards. Thoughts?

    For yuks, I checked this link. I looked at one item, the 52 Topps Mays. In my mind it is no doubt trimmed on either the top or the bottom. The proportion of white on the sides seems wider than the white on the top/bottom.

    Plus, the dreaded "Private Auction" always scares the crap out of me.

    This is a total scam. Look at what he's been selling previously. A raw 1989 Topps Dale Mahorcic?

    Plus, the scans of the '51B Mays looks like a bad dot matrix print job.

    Run, flee, and hide as fast as you can away from this "21 feedback" loser.

    We all stand corrected. It is not a "HE". Hit the "ME" link in one of the auctions!

    For a twit selling her stepdad's cards she knows a hell of alot about grading, key cards, terminology and turnaround times for PSA. She also seems to know how to sell sex to garner trust from bidders who think with two heads!

    E-Mail: Superbody@Lycos.com.  Why ''Superbody'' is my nickname: I am 30 years old, female, 6 feet tall in bare feet...and...I will leave the rest to your imagination...Bye For Now...Sheri.

    Bye for now? Maybe you get a date with her if you win the auction!

    I think I'll steer clear of miss "superbody". I'd rather get a proctological exam with a toilet brush!

    I was wondering about those 52 Bowmans (Mays & Musial). I was thinking about bidding but it looks like I should stay away. Can you trust anyone these days when they're selling raw vintage cards? If it's a star that's going to cost some $'s I think you have no choice but to go graded otherwise you stand a real chance of getting scammed. Especially a guy like me who can't really tell if a card is fake, trimmed etc. I was going to post the links to the cards mentioned above and get your guys thoughts. Someone posted the fake Orr rookie yesterday, I would never know.

    Wait, lemme put my beer goggles on. If I just bid, I bet I'll have to go to the doctor for a shot! image

    Hi!
    My name is Sheri and I would like to tell you a little about myself: I am 30 years old, female, 6 feet tall in bare feet...and...I will leave the rest to your imagination...I like long walks on a sandy beach, romantic moonlit evenings, champagne, caviar, men with a good sense of humor and loads of money to spend on worthless reprints that my dear ole stepdad left me. So if you do your best thinking with your Davy "Johnson" email me...
