    Looks like he used Google Translate to help with the description. Also looks like he's been peddling recipes as well.

    Look closely - it's not a 1952 TOPPS card. It's a 1952 TOOPS card.

    Look at his past sales. Pretty typical stuff for a guy selling a Mantle rookie, although his grammar is much better in those auctions. This one is my favorite:

    witch's fingers

    Yep, who could forget those days trick-or-treating and puking in the shrubs. The good old days in Russia.

    Only thing missing from that is:
    "From the private collection of Vladimir Putin. Next week we will auction off one super rare, New England Patriots Super Bowl ring".

    wow.. that takes me back 15 years. I remember that, was that a video game or something ? I remember it freaked me out just due to the freakishness of it. There was another line..something like 'someone give up us the bomb'

    Was that a video game ?

    Yes, credit to Wikipedia "The text comes from the opening cutscene of the 1991 European Sega Mega Drive version of the video game Zero Wing". 'Set' instead of 'give' on the second line, but good memory.

    Yeah, it's from a 1991 game entitled "Zero Wing". The complete phrase is "CATS: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US."

    I was thinking the same thing. That is a lot of money to give to someone in Russia when their only selling experience consists of .01 recipes.

    And, yes....It appears that Ebay has said, "Nyet." Unfortunately, I never got the pleasure of seeing the listing.

    Some others might have done the same, but I reported it and pointed out the "Toops". I couldn't stand by and let some poor schlep unload $75K on that thing.

    Putin's a well known liar, thief and murderer. Would it shock anyone if he decided to flood eBay with bogus product I mean c'mon . Shoot for the moon(52 Topps Mantle) end up in flames in the ocean. typical Russian effort on display here

    Maybe Robert Craft shared his Mantle RC with Putin and didn't get it back. Although I haven't seen the Patriots' Championship ring on eBay yet.

    Dang, eBay must have taken down the toops card before I got to see it.
    I've never seen a toops card before.
