I got this message right after the auction ended, is he trying to scam me or did you back out. figured you should know this too as if it's not true then he is trying to scam you to.
"Hello, The winning bidder of my item 1968 Nolan Ryan O-Pee-Chee (OPC) Rookie Card PSA 7!!! Item number: 5101578825 bid incorrectly and no longer wishes to purchase, I would still like to sell the item. Would you like to purchase the item? Please let me know, thanks. Have a nice day. "

The Venezuelan will go past $1000 in a cake walk.
It's not a big deal really.
Plus you will never find out if it's a scam.
So your options are..........
1- Buy the card at the price you bid.
2- Just say no.
I forgot to bid on a PSA 9 72 Ryan that CON40
won last night. I've been thinking about contacting
him and asking him if he'd like to make 20 bucks on the card,
so contacting people after auctions happens.

I was just about to process Paypal payment, when I was reading some emails that Keith (Con40) sent me about this post.
A) If I bid on something I stand by it and pay for it.
C) If I didn't intend to pay for it, why would I have already logged it in my Ryan Master Set?

Maybe you have taken to long to send payment. I mean it has been over 10 hours and you have yet to pay.
That's good news. And yet another reason to not make a deal outside of the regulations of eBay. The person who falls fro this has no recourse with eBay, Paypal, Squaretrade or anyone.
The centering on that Venezuelan looks awesome, and the corners aren't too shabby. Even with all the stuff on the back, depending on how bad the surface on the fron is I would think that one might end up in a 3 holder, and possibly even a 4.
Yay for the peanut gallery
In some scams I've been involved in or joined the discussion on, an adult is using a teenager to do his dirty work (no jail worries for the juvie). The naughty little boy usually reveals his lack of education and sophistication the farther the scam goes. If someone allegedly selling a $500 vintage card suddenly starts writing "u" instead "you" and misspelling every other word, when the initial auction listing was literate, beware!
Thanks for the heads up on this, I was just about to send an email to the seller asking what the heck was going on, instead I just processed the Paypal payment.
PackCollector,
Ruffle my feathers anytime, because if this had gone any further, you might have walked into this guy's bear trap and that would not have been a good thing. Weasels like this guy that sent you the offer should be hunted down and given the cement shoe treatment. With the dunking happening here in Milwaukee, in the seagull crap infested waters of Lake Michigan.

a 68 opc, and a ryan too, sweet !!
auction link for that 68 venez. to please (i`m not bidding) i promise !
congrats, scott
YOu mention no recourse with Paypal for this kind of transaction. I have limited experience with Paypal. Why would they not stand behind a fraud like a credit card would?

I don't want to go into all the ways that PayPal can screw you... there's lots of old threads on that. But, if this scammer did take pack's money, then send an envelope with a Bucky Dent card in it, then Paypal would be under no obligation to refund pack's money because goods had been received. It doesn't matter that it's the wrong goods, Paypal sees it as a completed transaction. The burden of proof would be on pack to prove that he had been scammed and a fraudulent item sent to him. If he goes to his credit card to refund him (and deny Paypal the payment), then Paypal would likely suspend him for violating the user agreement (only their investigation efforts are recognized not those of a third party bank).
Can you say bend over?
I hope that bid stands up, because you know I will trade you a PSA 6 cany lid for that stinky old ryan venezuelan.
Con-fricking-gratulations
I am going on record right now saying that the 19868 Venezuelan will be in a 3 holder. Hope your firstborn finds a good home.

It's funny, I was just discussing this card with a friend of mine about 2-3 weeks ago. We were wondering what one would sell for. I said that a raw example would sell, regardless of grade, for at least $1,000. I guess this proves me right. Now, I'm curious to see how this card will grade.
Keith,
Even if it comes back a PSA 1, I think that you have purchased a great card! Great eye appeal, no matter what PSA says - even better than my '67 Stargell:
JEB.
You're just lucky this card didnt come up a year from now.
Congrats again Keith, Mr. Real Holy Grail Owner.
We've all been hyping this card for quite sometime, glad you got it.
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
I actually have not decided if I'm going to grade this yet. I'll wait 'til it arrives and see then.
Happy Father's Day to all the other Dads out there!
these cards are very hard to find in ANY condition !
like jeb said, even if these cards grade low, no matter they all grade low !
the 2 cards in my bench set that i`m most proud of are a psa-1 and a psa-5. very sweet additions to your ryan set.
your friend, lee
67standup, you should not be able to display those 3 yaz venezualens since you won't sell me one. I thiought this was a friendly community then you go and hog them all to yourself
Man a few days ago we were talking about how little Ryan stuff was out there that we needed and then voila, an abondonza of Ryan cards. The only bad thing about it is that you have to let a few of them go, I'm glad you won the Venezuelans, after the OPC and hopefully the 75 and some of the minor PSA 10's I knew I wouldn't be able to seriously go after the Venezuelans. I'm surprised the 68 Vene didn't go higher, the 77 went about were I thought it would.
Figures right after I fill the 68 OPC Ryan hole, that you would fill the 68 Venezuelan hole in the Ryan Master Set.
Congrats Keith!!!

You're right... so much to choose from! I focused on the Venezuelan simply because it's the scarcest and I need it. I'm glad you landed the OPC, but who knows where the 79 PSA 10 and 75 PSA 9 will go. There is so much crossover collecting involved with those, we may not even recognize who the high bidder is (unless it's you!). Good news for you though is that after this, I am on the sidelines for the rest of the big stuff. I bid on some small stuff too, so hopefully there is enough to go around.
mudflap;
7155ds surfaces for air every so often and will bid aggressively. I don't know who that person is. I have emailed every guy on the Ryan Registry, and that one has never come up and I have never seen a pattern of bidding and submitting to a set. Good thing though is that are there are so many nice Ryans at the moment that everyone will get something they are after. Like Scott says, no one can get it ALL!
7155ds buys lots of Nolan Ryan PSA 10 cards, I have sold at least two or three to him, he pays fast, but his shipping address is a P.O. Box and a business name, so I don't know who it is either. All I do know is that he hasn't listed any cards in any Ryan sets yet.
