    Under "Report a keyword spammer" on eBay, do they have an option for "all this ID's auctions?" They need one for people like this.

    I don't think these flips ever have anything other than 10 Gem Mint. At least two of the four cards pictured here are trimmed.

    The Clemens is hacked the worst, it could almost spin in there. All 3 of those other cards are sliced as well, the 86 Bonds is at least 3/16" short left to right, McGwire looks short all around, and the Fleer Bonds looks like it's missing a little top to bottom.

    Looking at his other auctions, this is really sad. This guy has have his own slabs and a way to seal them, and then just makes up the flips on a PC. Every one of his cards are trimmed badly. I don't know how some people can't recognize it.

    Rare Grading, Authentic Sports Grading, and Perfect Mint Grading are all branches of Gem Grading.
    My theory is someone working at Gem using the same style holder with the soft sleeve inside and is now
    working freelance in his parent's basement making the new flips.
    I've seen all 3 for over a year now.
    I just looked at all his auctions.....all his stuff's been butchered.
    Even if his Jerry Rice rookie was a true "8", he probably would get more in that condition
    in a PSA holder than in the 10 holder it is in now. My gawd, and that Steve Young RC....all the
    borders are gone. Yuck!
    All garbage......the spawn of Gem.

    I'll be starting a grading service soon.....
    Everything will be graded by me and only me.
    I'm calling my company WTF (exactly what it is) and will only give out 9s,
    and let you decipher if it's higher or lower while scratching your head
    and saying "WTF??" All trimmed and altered cards will have my snot
    smeared on the card(s) and I will crease the card on purpose so it can't
    be re-sold to some other poor sap.
