Maybe a stolen account? Last feedback was back in 2005.

poor guy. can't get a decent scanner but happens to have a 1952 Mantle that he dusted off to sell.

hotmush · February 2, 2007 4:01AM

He's from Australia, too. Which makes me all the more suspicious.

Allen · February 2, 2007 5:02AM

I like the big crack at the upper right....

cravetopps · February 2, 2007 5:23AM

it is incredible that ebay and/or SGC don't intervene but what is even more incredible is that there seem to be people bidding on this item (of course we have no idea who the bidders are). And, yes, love that crack.

If you're gonna be a professional scammer, you're gonna have to do a better job than this.

Awww... from Australia, put another shrimp on the barbie!

EagleEyeKid · February 2, 2007 5:50AM

Well, apparently SGC has been notified of this. They've been getting calls all afternoon
and they've contacted Ebay. Hopefully that auction and seller goes poof!

<< <i>Awww... from Australia, put another shrimp on the barbie! >>

No, that's Austria you're thinking of...

jmbkb4 · February 2, 2007 6:18AM

He accepts COD's, what's the risk???????

RoarIn84 · February 3, 2007 1:02AM

cohocorp · February 3, 2007 1:24AM

i saw the card when it was first listed. i didnt think anyone would bfall for this obvious scan. will anyone really send that kind of money to Australia via an insecured method. i doubt it. i hope not at least.

lawnmowerman · February 3, 2007 11:12AM

Still going!

Current bid: US $15,600.00

lawnmowerman · February 3, 2007 1:09PM

Current bid: US $20,100.00

grote15 · February 3, 2007 1:17PM

I like the $8.01 shipping charge too! Need that extra penny!

Why won't ebay remove an auction like this, but they'll cancel one with 1/1 in the title for a PSA pop 1 card??

basestealer · February 3, 2007 1:28PM

The latest Mantle funny... trim off 1/2 inch of the card, and call it "slightly off center"!
Where's the other half of me Mantle?

leadoff4 · February 4, 2007 4:34AM

Still going at $25,100. Unbelievable!!!!

EagleEyeKid · February 4, 2007 5:11AM

Just reported it and sent him an email. POOF! Finally.

Boopotts · February 4, 2007 5:14AM

I dont' know-- I guess I'll never get used to the fact that this guy, whomever he is, could have literally ripped someone off here for a quarter of a million dollars and NOTHING would have happened to him. Ebay wouldn't have cared-- or at least I don't think they would have, given their track record-- so what would the buyer have done? Just take it in the shorts? And what's going to happen now that the seller has been exposed for attempting a 6 FIGURE SCAM?! Anything? Beuller? Beuller??

He's back...
Who trimmed off my borders, messed with '51 Bowman Mantle

EagleEyeKid · February 5, 2007 11:29AM

The label on the holder seems to be tampered with pasted on inside the holder, the holder is sealed. However the serial number is valid

WTF?! This guy needs a good ass kicking. No duh the serial # is valid. This guy's logic is tampered with.

EagleEyeKid · February 5, 2007 11:43AM

He's reported again for this one. For repeated offense, his account
should be suspended. Hope this one does it. We'll see.

earlycalguy · February 5, 2007 12:15PM

if these scammers were smart they'd do buy it now listings with immediate payment required. they could be long gone before anyone reported them.

helionaut · February 5, 2007 12:47PM

The flip on that '51 is so fake it's ridiculous. And that '58 is also tragic. Laser printer?
