A 139 year old California woman, perhaps the oldest woman on the planet earth, has learned the ability to use a PC and to go as far as buying a collector's sports card on the auction site, Ebay. "unbelievable", declared her great, great, great, great great, great grandson for whom the card was purchased. "The fact the my great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother can even use a computer is mind blowing enough. But to see her actually go through all the hassles of dealing with Ebay to get me a gift was simply amazing." The card, a 2008 Topps Sterling Tom Seaver 5 piece game used jersey card sequentially numbered 3 of only 10 made was purchased by some moron on the east coast for $275 dollars a couple weeks ago who though he might actually got something decent out of the expensive pack. "At least I got to keep to the beautiful ivory colored wooden case that the piece of crap card was wrapped in before it was pulled.", the seller was quoted as saying. "It also felt good to walk the antique woman through all the steps of making her first Ebay purchase. I'm proud to be able add a new item to the collection of a great, great, great, great, great, great grandson. She even left positive feedback for me!!", the seller declared. "It's a shame she dinged my DSR levels though as now I've been suspended from Ebay and will no longer be able to make a living. Oh well, that's life I guess"
