    Hey, he's from my home town (and FF Collector's), so it must be legit.

    Hey, if the stamps sold for 14,000 and his grandma sounds like a nice old lady, plus the Mantle sig on the ball looks like it came from that era, I'm gonna set a snipe for $10,000...do you think thats too low?

    Looks like he takes Paypal. What is it worth to win this auction? If the cards are real someone could come out way ahead. If they are reprints or fakes then you've got a great case with Paypal as he has guaranteed the cards as authentic.

    Also, don't forget to pay with your credit card! Just another layer of protection from what is most likely a scam.

    this is the kiss of death in terms of it being a fraudulent auction.

    you have all the highlights!!

    1.) dead relatives
    2.) apparent innocence and sincerity
    3.) lack of pictures.
    4.) my favorite -- the buyer posts all questions on the auction for others to see -- he's trying to win others over with his "transparency."
    5.) mantle

    Don't forget his "no returns or refunds" stance...

    What happened to all the other cards Gramps had? I see he only collected Mantles and threw the rest away? image I am sure that guy who bought the stamps would never want to buy a Mantle card ever.

    A: I am sorry, she is not willing to send the cards to me because she does not trust anyone. She is also not very interested in doing much work

    The seller and I had a heated discussion about condition and pics. He now says he will drive to his Grandmothers house get pics and add them to auction. I highly doubt this happens but it's worth watching.

    Who knows? maybe this dude has a crazy granny.....nah that is dumb, I wish I could do a $250 paypal chance...

    His grandma probably lives way up in the hills and probably just happens to be his sister too?

    Aw. The auction's gone. I was looking forward to see what ever the weasel was going to post in the description.
  • css23css23 Posts: 297
    Pulled and relisted. Now he says theres a 52 Mantle included. Someone is going to be several K light when this one is over.
