    Go through the auction histories and see that some of these auctions closed at $170+ and people(schillers?) gave positive feedback. I think toilet paper guy paid $66, what are these people thinking?

    These are the two pics in toilet paper guy's auction. There are some great, albeit microscopically small, cards in those pictures. He obviously thought he was getting these cards. Still an idiot, just maybe not a total idiot..
    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    In the first picture, no; although I think I see a 1976 Jackson and 1976 Ryan. But in the second picture I can definitely see a Reggie Jackson rookie (second row, near the right), two 1971 Jackson's, a 1969 Clemente and a bunch of 1972 Clemente's. Above the Jackson rookie I think that's a 1968 Topps Game Willie Mays. If the auction was actually for THESE cards, he would have had a bargain at $56.

    Once in awhile there is a legit one. A week or two ago our local news ran a piece about a woman from Arizona who was selling "thousands and thousand of dollars" worth of her ex-husbands cards and sports memorabilia on eBay. It showed her in a room just packed with stuff..didn't show any of the cards close up though. They had been married 17 years and he took off with some one else and she was selling everything he owned. So it does happen.

    I also remember a few years ago where a ex-wife sold he husbands exotic car..90k range..for just a few thousand dollars. That hit the news too.
