    It's real. He paid Steve Novella $5000 for it a couple months ago.
    Gretzky purchase

    He also bought the Jordan for $999.99 on a BIN 2 weeks ago.

    He's trying to find someone to buy from him at a profit. If it hasn't reached the total he wants shortly before the auction close, he'll cancel the auction.

    This is the kind of seller I'd like to see have a power failure 10 minutes before the auction closing time. image

    It doesn't seem impossible that it's legit. The seller recently bought a PSA 9 Jordan rookie and got good feedback from the seller. He's also put a strong big on a PSA 10 Jordan rookie. He seems to be a somewhat serious Jordan collector, so it's not impossible he's collected Gretzky, too.

    I don't quite get how the Fed raising rates will send the card through the roof.

    If I was shopping for cards of this value, I would feel more confident if the seller sounded a little more, well, mature. And less desperate.

    I agree with Nick M. My guess is on July 11 around 5pm-6pm PST we will be seeing reserve fee circumvention at its finest.

    damn, i was wrong. it does look suspect, there's no logical reason to group high grade cards like that because you won't maximize profit.

    Winning bidder will receive ONLY the 1979 OPC Wayne Gretzky PSA 9. The other pictures are separate auctions.

    then why the hell does he spam MJ's name in the auction description? i take it back, this guy is a total loser

    When I first saw that auction, my knee-jerk reaction also was that it was a scam. I then figured that the guy probably does have the card, but I just can't bring myself to bid on auctions with those kind of descriptions. Scam probably isn't accurate, but total loser might just be fitting.
