    This guy is very well known over on the eBay discussion board.

    Before he changed his id (it was gomickgo) he started a thread wanting to know where he could find a grading company to slab tampered/home made packs. Well that didn't go over very well and once the discussion got to heated for his liking he self-reported the thread and it went poof.

    Couple days ago he comes back on and starts another one called Grading company looks like PSA. And once again it got to heated for him. He got pi**ed when some of the members took a look at his past dealings and after he threatened if people wouldn't stop judging him and checking out what he does he said he would have the discussion removed as well and just like clockwork, POOF. But thanks to Google's cache here is part of it. Cache Expired So Linky No Worky

    Here are a couple of his past auctions.

    1974 1979 Topps Baseball wax pack lot

    These are 1977 Topps 10 cards with 1974 Topps 8 cards wax packs being sold as rewrapps.

    Wrapper and cards inside authentic and near mint or better.

    Up for your bidding pleasure are 3 vintage baseball cards that I will guarantee as authentic and original or your money back!!!

    These cards are the same size and thickness as what they are suppose to be for their make and year.

    I do however want to say that a baseball card dealer who was supose to sell these for me at his shop said they were reprints or restored and were not gradable.

    He also offered me $100 dollars for the Ruth card alone which made me skeptical that he was just trying to scam me out of my cards.

    Why would someone offer $100 for a worthless reprint?

    I think these cards are authentic and will sell them as such.

    So I decided to just try my luck and sell them on Ebay.

    I dont know much about these vintage baseball cards so I will grade all 3 in poor condition.

    The cards are in the scan and listed as follows.

    1932 Carmel Babe Ruth

    1934 Goudey Carl Hubbell

    1955 #1 Hoyt Wilhelm

    Check the cards out and if your unhappy you can always send them back or work out a deal.

    Shipping is $4.50

    Please pay by Paypal right away I have people I owe money to so thats why I am selling these here cards so dont bid if you cant pay right away by Paypal.

    I will be away from my computer so I will not be able to answer any questions so you will just have to bid and pay for this with what information you have.

    Since I am asking you to pay fast I will ship fast also.

    Here are some sample question and answers that might help.

    What if I bid over $500 dollars and the Ruth turns out to be a worthless reprint can I get my money back?

    Answer- Absolutly if you send the card back to the address that Paypal says to send it to I will refund your money minus a fair value of the cards you want to keep.

    What if I want to send all the cards back will I get a 100% refund?

    Answer- Yes and that includes what you paid for shipping but not your cost of returning the cards.

    I only want to bid on the Ruth card can I do that?

    Answer- No I am selling all 3 cards together but you can return one two or all three




    He's not a very smart guy coming on a discussion board trying to get advice on how to set up a scam and even dumber by coming back for more.

    I hope I win.
  • I appreciate the OP outing this clown. He is a dangerous bidder also. Just look at the feedback. Added the scum to my blocked bidder list for life.
  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Looks like a scambuster may have been the winning bidder.

    The Mantle is no doubt trimmed.
  • Just... wow.

    I can actually understand where the scammers that do their best to hide their fraud are coming from. Regular ol' theft makes sense. It isn't right, but it makes sense.

    The kind of fraud this guy is trying to pull of is... man... what's a good word? Freakish? Insane? It's like the dumb targeting the stupid, or vice-versa.

    Nolan Ryan & Edgar Martinez are my favorite players...

    I feel like a winner.
  • nam812nam812 Posts: 10,600 ✭✭✭✭✭
    ......fully guarantee that all 12 cards are authentic 1968 Topps baseball cards. If you open the holder then the guarantee is void.

    That part of the auction is the funniest thing I have read in quite some time.
  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yep, I imagine the scambuster must have told this scammer seller to F* off right after he won the auction. LOL

    Stinkin' scammer now has it as a "buy it now" much cheaper than the previous auction sale price - what a total POS. Guaranteed to get a trimmed or filled in pinholed Mantle and the rest 6 type commons, worth less than a buck apiece.

    I haven't decided whether to pay for it or not.

    Offer him a genuine Rosie O'Donnell hair, Pro Grading certified, in trade.

    Looks like he may have gotten over on someone with that fake 1968 cello. Sad to see.

    Now, he's pawning off some "really rare" 1964 Topps 1c cello pack, which, of course, Topps never made, but he must have had some extra shrinkwrap and a hairdryer. What a tool.
