Looks like a Buy it now steal today;

But same card sold with new SGC flip and same serial number in August this year;

The ebay seller had the exact same looking card but in a old SGC flip. Not sure what to make of this one but I'm guessing it will not end well.

That was a steal. I wonder if he mistakenly listed it as a BIN because in the body of the listing he states "low reserve".

Yes a steal but the exact same card sold in a new SGC flip (same serial #) already for 4x as much in a mile high auction recently. Someone is out 11k IMO and eBay buyer protection sucks so hopefully they used a credit card.

Its the same card I believe based on spot comparisons. Weird situation though so something had to have happened.

So the bay seller used an old picture and really doesn't have the card, correct? I noticed the ebay seller hasn't sold any cards, only car parts. It does smell.

Yes I believe but how do they have the old photo? Very strange.
