    Seller has a lot of other key cards also.

    Stolen scans. A complete fraud.

    Seller had also just ended a bunch of other auctions. Looks like he's really going in for the kill.

    Looking at balamike's feedback from sellers and clicking on the item #s, (s)he sure has spent a lot of money in a handful of auctions.

    I wouldn't feel comfortable bidding high dollar amounts until there's a better track record from this seller.

    I had emailed the 'seller'. i think he knew he was being reported to ebay. he then went and ended the auctions to the highest bidder.

    I saw that, and that is a good point. Scammers do this to give themselves some credibility. It really doesn't cost them anything though because they can simply turn around and sell these items to a dealer (for a loss) or just sell them in a real auction on ebay. So they lose a bit on the items they bought or break even - but this seller is hoping to pickup over $10,000 from the scam - so far he seems to be getting away with it.

    <<< You are bidding on a 1968 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 10 is a very nice card, all the transaction will go through PAYPAL ONLY. and require "instant payment" which means the payemtn must be received with 24 hours after the auction ends Please don't bid if you can not abided by auction rules. Thank you i think its the best way to protect both of us. so nothing to worry about for any farud or any illegal actions here. if there is anything wrong with the items we sold, i will do the full refund for you. so enjoy ur bidding and thanx for watching

    p.s dotn believe any second chance offer. i would never send out second chance off

    thank you!! >>>

    Why anyone would bid on expensive items such as this presented by someone who would flunk a 4th grade grammar/spelling test, is beyond me? - LOL

    Has anyone reported this guy yet? These are some of the same scans that a scammer going for the kill used a month or so ago. The Bradshaw rookie seems to be involved in all of these scams.

    I did report this person.

    Nice job! I just wish some of these people would get thrown in jail for doing this stuff. Because unfortunately, he'll probably be back doing it again.

    I reported him as well, these idiots are a blight on our hobby. Although, I will say that the buyers need to do a little research before bidding on high end stuff from a guy with a feedback rating of nine.
