    I think it's finally time for me to list my lot of 72 clean 1988 Fleer Baseball wrappers, 72 stickers and 1,080 1988 Fleer commons.

    He'll have to buy his own empty boxes, though. image

    If grote and dutymon and others are still putting together a
    "data base" on pack resealers, the roadmap that lsutigers
    found is a pretty fair treasure trove.

    By cross-checking the FB involved in the dozens of transactions,
    many IDs involved in pack-reaealing and other potential scams
    are revealed.

    ......................

    EBAY needs to ban the sale of empty wrappers, unless they
    are made into a collage or other artwork.

    I used to make a bunch of money selling Tiffany/Coach shopping bags,
    boxes and wrapping/tissue-paper. Such listings are now prohibited.

    I know EBAY needs money, but they probably should get it somewhere else.

    Ebay doesn't need to ban the sale of anything collectible. Wrappers are as collectible as cards and just because a small minority of buyers use them to make packs doesn't mean they should be banned from sale. You don't ban the sale of cards because somebody might trim them and pass them off later as a higher grade. What they do need to do is have somebody who understands the problem and be able to quickly pull the plug when a scammer selling bad packs is identified. Maybe it's the same kind of thinking that EBay bigwigs use. Get rid of all those troublesome collectible listings in favor of more ipod listings.

    Well, Ebay has made it where my wife who had bought some Tiffany and Coach (she even supplied receipts to Ebay) a couple of years ago couldn't sell them on ebay because of a few counterfeiters. I understand your point. The bottom line is buyer beware out there when you buy from an unknown or shady seller.
