This guy is using a generic pic of the card and is using the same cert # of a 7 o/c Paige Levi currently owns.He also has some 1948 Leaf Robinson cards up with the same format (generic pic) I havent checked the certs on those yet but I'm sure its the same scamming.

Maybe in 50 years everyone will finally get it right
Robinson Card
from one of his previous auctions sold----"Although I'm happy with the card, it was not the card pictured in the auction..."
Gee what a shock!!
Sooner I think this thread came first.

<< <i>I can't see anyone purchasing this card without a real pic of it anyways. I mean if youre gonna steal a cert # do it with a card that isnt already listed on Ebay where it can be checked on. >>
My thoughts exactly.
Its interesting even going on the theory of someone pulling the trigger on his auction than he buys the card from Levi at a lower cost and than once received
he ships to his buyer.....He still gives the impression that the card is in hand and the only reason he doesnt have a pic is because of his scanner being boxed up for the move.
Who can't unbox a scanner for a card he wants $16,500 for? I think that just might warrant getting off your butt and taking it out for a second.

The seller lives in Bensalem, PA which isn't that far from Levi's card shop - he could get the ebay sale, receive payment, drive to Levi's shop within a half hour, buy the card, and easily ship the same day if he wanted to. Unless he is a scammer, I'm sure that's the way he's contemplating doing it. Of course if Levi happens to have sold the card already, the seller is chit out of luck. However if he's done business with Levi before, probably with a phone call, Levi would hold an unsold card for him. All really not a bad business model if it works...but I agree it's highly unlikely not to work on a card such as this on ebay, but I guess the seller figures for a small ebay listing fee with a shot at making a few quick dimes, what the yell.
Saying that his scanner is packed away is BS.
