How about another fraudulent Mantle listing?

Guy has changed the pic twice so far. Originally it was a 5.5 then a 4 and now it is a 5 with an OC qualifier that doesn't have a qualifier. This one even has the AmericanMemorabilia.com copyright in the pic.

I wish ebay were so quick to respond and pull all these bogus "unopened" pack listings, too..

lsutigers1973 · January 4, 2009 12:39PM

Same auction back again but this time with a slight change.

"apraised and gradded PSA 5 (oc)"

BunchOBull · January 4, 2009 12:57PM

report sent...

"1st attempt to list pulled already, again listing high $ item with stolen images but alt'd keywords"

I hate having to abbreviate...ebay doesn't give you enough characters.

Topps 1952 ricky mantle #311???

Also I take it the card in the picture is not what the winner will recieve.

<< Also I take it the card in the picture is not what the winner will recieve. >>

He changed the pic a few times and ended up with this one. Auction was quickly pulled and he relisted it with teh same stolen pic.

Looks like somebody bought it BIN???

BunchOBull · January 4, 2009 2:11PM

Oh no.

Knopfler · January 4, 2009 2:28PM

<< Oh no. >>

Oh yes! Check out his feedback. Looks like someone did BIN but already left negative feedback. Wonder if it's someone here.

Judging by the feedback I think it may be.

Here's the feedback that was left. It does not show the item number since it was private, but this feedback was left one minute after the 52 Ricky Mantle auction ended with BIN:

"QUIT SELLING YOUR FAKE MANTLES! BUYER BEWARE! THIS IS A SCAM! STOLEN IMAGES!"

Scambuster - nice job!

I imagine this POS seller had a few minutes of excitement thinking he just got a huge score - I would have paid to see the expression on his scamming face when he read that feedback.

Yup, I'm pretty sure I've dealt with him. I see at least 3 other board members have.

Great stuff. Nice work Vintagetoppsguy!

lsutigers1973 · January 7, 2009 11:33PM

How about a few more?

# 1 in PSA holder but not listed as graded

#2 with 2 stolen photos

PoppaJ · January 8, 2009 12:26AM

Desperate people do desperate things

lsutigers1973 · January 8, 2009 10:09AM

Go up two replies and check my last one. Auction #1 was removed by eBay. Now the same seller relisted it but added his Yahoo address to make it look legit. He also says it would grade high. It's already in a PSA holder.

New auction

How about another fraudulent Mantle listing?
