Seller on eBay with lots of nice packs for sale

BaltimoreYankee

Any reason to steer clear of this seller? With recent events, one needs to make sure. There is one particular pack that I would like.

Based on the starting bid on most of the packs, I don't think he is in a rush to sell.
There are two packs I like.

I'd buy from him if it weren't for two things: #1- I honestly would love to have every one of those packs but I don't have that kind of money spare to spend #2- If I had every pack I'd eventually open them all up anyway because I have no willpower. I couldn't leave those beautiful cards in that stupid little cello. All that stuff does is make it easier for me to get drool on the cards.

If it weren't for those two things heck yeah I'd buy from him.

That 75TFB Cello with Fouts is sweet. I never see PSA 10 packs. For the life of me, I don't see what makes a 10 a 10 and the difference from a 9

years ago there was a seller/collector of unopened material named Jason...who had a similar eBay ID to this dude.

Members of the old wax pack group forum on eBay did many deals with him. Then we learned that many of his pack were re-seals. This was before PSA started grading them

Do not know if this is the same person...but check out the packs really well before buying

I agree, those are some really nice packs but in my opinion just a bit pricey.

Given the increase in popularity in unopened product (and increases in price), I thought I'd repost the "caveat emptor" warning written by Steve at BBCE regarding unopened product on ebay as a public service reminder:

Re-Sealed Unopened Material


Lately it appears that EVERY package that comes in from someone trying to sell me stuff is tampered with or completely re-sealed. I tend to believe that 90% of the customers trying to sell me stuff do not know it themselves, but got burned along the way by another scumbag. We have seen it all lately. There has been resealed boxes of 1975,1976,1977 and 1978 Topps baseball. 1975/76 Topps hockey. 1984 Donruss baseball. 19986 Fleer basketball. 1977 Topps football. 1970 Topps baseball. Packs from the 50's and 60's. And for anyone out there who thinks that rack packs are the hardest/most difficult, think again! We have gotten numerous re-sealed 1971 Topps baseball and football racks. 1968 Topps baseball racks. 1975 Topps baseball racks. They are the hardest to detect, but are being done the most (due to them being the hardest to detect).

I am going to say that most of this stuff is coming from ebay. I would estimate that 75% of all the stuff on ebay is resealed garbage. Customers are buying it from ebay and then offering it to me at a profit. Unfortunately, the stuff is no good. This hurts everyone in this aspect of the hobby/business. It brings down the prices of the REAL/AUTHENTIC unopened stuff. I've heard in the past that at the BBCE we sell stuff 20-30% higher than normal, but you get good stuff that you pay for. The problem here I see is that we are 20-30% higher than realized prices on ebay. HOWEVER, if it is 20-30% cheaper than our prices and it's 100% no good, did you really save anything?? We would GLADLY pay the prices that stuff seems to end up at on ebay. However, its mostly garbage.

Be careful our there! We would gladly offer our opinion on something before you buy it or after you purchase it for free. Thanks, Steve Hart
