what am i missing ?

i am sure i am missing something here but i dont know what. 52 topps graded psa 3 with hardly any bids ?
why ? i would love to show some interest but am so gunshy with the scams and hijacked accounts.
also cannot make out the serial # because of the poor scan.

    His (her?) feedback is only 5, from mostly sci-fi related stuff such as videogames, movies, and comic books.

    A hijacked account is more like it.

    EDIT: I sent the seller this note:


    Are you really selling a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle graded PSA 3?

    Please send a scan of the back. I'm interested.

    Thanks.

    It is questionable due to low-feedback - just do what jrinck said. I usually ask for a picture with it on a newspaper - something to show they have it in hand.

    edit to add: I ate Wheaties this morning so I can squint 20-20 vision - the # is 11780013 which checks out.

    second edit to add: Damn, I don't know how I missed that - I was just looked at that auction last week.....

    Oops, we have a winner! Stolen scan!

    Here's the real auction, which closed yesterday:

    The "fake" seller's response to my email:

    "I do have this card this is a actual pic of the card that I own currently. "


    Yeah, right. That's why it is the same scan of an auction that ended yesterday.

    EDIT: My response to his response:


    If you own it, then you would have no problem sending me a scan of the back. Also, please explain why your scan exactly matches
    that of one in an auction that ended yesterday.

    But you don't have to explain it to me. I alerted Ebay AND the seller who's scan you stole. You'll be plenty busy dealing with them.

    my concern is if you do bid on a stolen scan and the auction goes till the end. what than ?
    $ is sent and pretty much you get burned with no recourse. how do we stop this or alert ebay to how many of these go on. i mean just the people on this board must have found at least 15 or 20 mantle rookie stolen scans
    in the past couple of weeks.
    what gives on ebays part ?
