Does this guy really have these cards? Are they real? if so why is there no action on his auctions.

I have seen those auctions... the cards are real, but most of them aren't worth his opening price because of glue damage.

The Ryan rookie looks gorgeous at first glance, but the seller is not revealing the truth about it and someone is going to be very upset when this auction ends and they get it and realize it's a PSA 1. If you look to the right of Ryan's cap, you can see the is a short line, roughly the length of a staple... what do you know... if you look closer it is from a staple that was there that obviously rusted and there are 2 holes in the card caused by the staple. I would also suspect some sort of water damage - something caused that staple to rust... it's not showing up well in his scan, but you can see signs of a water mark on the bill of Ryans hat. And, on top of that, there is also a third hold, running through the A in "STARS", which shows up at the base of the M in METS on the back. And something tells me the seller will disappear if there is a complaint about the card, which is probably going to sell for over $2K.

Dave's Vintage has alot of them as well, and most look like those listed . All of his good ones have been sold.

Too bad about that Ryan. Otherwise it could have been the Wagner of Nolan Ryan cards.

Damn Josh, you are the man. Hey, how's the Ven site going? I posted a little while back, but don't see much activity.

That's because few know about it... I haven't really advertised it...

I'm kicking myself for not bidding aggressively on the 11 '64 Topps Venezuelan Cardinals that were attached to a team sheet. That is the first "scrapbook" for the cards I've ever seen. Oh well. At least I saved the picture.

I emailed the seller about this auction. I asked him how he could he overlook such an glaring flaw.

The auction is now revised and the listed more accurately with a starting price to $3500.00.

I don't think he is overlooking any flaws. Notice how he crops at least one edge in all the scans. Sometimes he crops all the edges and corners!

Thats still one heckuva Ryan RC. Expecting perfection on Venzi's is futile.

Does anyone think that the Ryan might be trimmed on the right hand side, border looks thin to me.
