Is this guy for real?

in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia

eBay item # is for a 1972 Topps 6th series vending box (sure it is), and when you read the description it says that "YOU WILL FIND STARS, TRADED AND CHECKLIST CARDS."

So I email the guy saying "What checklist cards are you talking about? There are no checklist cards in the high series of 1972 baseball between #657 and #787. If you're seeing checklist cards, then this isnt a totally high series box."

The guy emails me back with an attitude and accuses me of wanting to win his auction and swap out cards. Here was his response:

"hi, i will guarantee without a doubt that this is a high series only vending box with vending box quality cards. for some reason there is a card #604 6th series checklist card included. this box is full of only high series cards #657-#787. in vending box quality. if you plan on winning this auction and then returning it filled with other 1972 topps cards from this series or others in low grade condition, FORGET ABOUT IT, this is the real deal. all high series cards in vending box condition. thanks for looking. vintage finds inc."

Is it just me, or would this have insulted some of you guys as well? Talk about poor customer relations. Yeah, let me spend $2,000.00 or $3,000.00 with this peach of a guy.

    He also states in the description that the cards appear to be in order.

    Obvious bogus box and he has been reported to ebay for fraud.

    I took a ride to see this box...The story is that a house was getting cleaned out and this box was in it. Besides this box, many Dan Dee cards as well as some 50s topps cards were in this house. They are in the auction now. It appears the original owner may have opened (my opinion) and sorted the cards somewhat and put them back in the box. The owner claims that he did not pull anything out of the box and checked for series number. Could this be a 6th -7th box? I dont know.. I do not know about this checklist debate. I do think that for a dollar a card it would be an interesting investment....thats my take on it..
