Am I Missing Something Here?

Not following the $6,100 purchase price. Is this thing made out of gold or something?

    Only 3 bidders, seems strange bid wise as well

    Here's another of the same card, only with a $14.99 BIN image

  • It is more than likely a money laundering scheme. You can turn something like drug money into legit earned cash instantly.

    still doesn't seem legitimately earned. Don't know how it would hold up. Very odd.

    Earned in the eyes of the IRS. Very simple stuff. It only Heisenberg had thought about this!

    Just looked at the bid history. Looks like a user bid it up from $6 to $6000 with no competition. Then the final purchase was made by a different account which seems to be the fake account. Definitely something fishy about this one.

    49ersguy pretty much nailed this one. of all things, cards are one of the best things to use in this instance



    a very recent autographed parallel that will only decrease in value rather quickly.



    and is easily justifiable in the eyes of Irwin R. Schyster!

    It's also possible that the seller engaged in a deal that fell through, and that some of the bidders are taking "revenge" on the seller. I have seen that tactic mentioned on blowoutcards forums.


    It would have taken two separate people to engage in this. Seems unlikely that someone with high FB (the underbidder) would use their regular account to accomplish this
