The Latest Resealing Thief on Ebay...

grote15

Stay away from this dirtbag...he was an avid buyer of vintage wrappers from all years and sports and now is selling his repackaged junk because his feedback history is old enough so that you can't see his previous transactions.

Resealed Packs

Amazing that so much of this filth comes out of PA.

The FBI website has PA at or near the per-capita top and the gross-total top
for consumer fraud complaints.

I know ther's a web site that you can check neg. feedback,
even if ebay dont show it.Is there a website where the list
of stuff you buy goes back later than 30 days?Thanks,

Nice link storm.
It's nice too see my spending totals in pounds sterling instead of dollars. Makes it seem much smaller.
That's why I always give my weight in kilograms instead of pounds.

Another dirtbag theief...this guy is AKA "xyzblaster" who has also changed his username after getting a stream of negatives for resealed packs. You need a scorecard to keep up with these thieves, though it seems like many of these IDs are from the same thief.

I have to believe those GAI packs he's selling are ones he probably "sneaked" past GAI which in my opinion, isn't a difficult thing to do.

Note also that nowhere in the seller's listings is the term "unopened" used, which is very misleading if the packs are indeed "created" by the seller.

that is correct although you don't need to sneak them past gai these days , they will holder anything if you pay them a grading fee. I won't touch there new holder unless I know where the pack or box is from.

here is a sample for you of a resealed gai pack from this guy


65 pennywrapper


65 penny pack


notice the black dot on the edge on the back scan of the pack is the same as the wrapper that was sold, these wrappers are impossible , the one pictured was the only one sold in the past year on ebay and has the same marking and the exact same cut of the wrapper. his scan is terrible but I am sure in person you can see the scrunching that is in the scan of the wrapper.

That's good detective work presuming that "black dot" wasn't prevalent in that area on other packs as well, but I believe you. Hard to figure if what you say is true that GAI "will holder anything if you pay them a grading fee" then why this seller didn't send in all the packs he's offering to be slabbed by GAI. I guess scammers do sometimes think in strange ways, and perhaps he's thinking that he's building some sort of credibility by offering raw unopened packs and slabbed unopened packs.

All I know is I'd love to find a 1965 Topps Baseball wax pack that was "guaranteed" to be unopened. Sadly unless the pack came from something such as a little old lady from Pasadena whose husband owned a 5 & 10 store in the 60's and had some unsold packs laying around the house for years, I really don't fully trust the "established sources" out there when it comes to 1960's and 1950's genuine unopened wax packs.

The FEDs are happy to accept complaints. When they get
enough complaints against a crook, they act.

I say "Don't trust anyone with vintage unopened packs". Some people buy GAI graded packs==== they're some of the worst packs out there. JMO.

here is another one , the bankrupt gai has no shame. unfortunately I have to admit that I contributed to the madness. I sold him the wrapper before I knew he was a resealing thief.

I have never seen a real one of these packs and the wrappers come up for sale once in a blue moon.

In the years I have collected unopened (and quite a few packs have crossed my path) I have never seen a '60 penny pack in person.

This dirtbag was formerly known as "xyzblaster." His FB was killed with negs, so he changed his username and finally started this new one. Amazing how these thieves keep reinventing themselves. Another seller with good FB "andym62553" is also selling the bogus packs he bought from both xyzblaster and his alter ego.
