OPC may be scarcer but that doesn't mean they're move valuable, LOL..

That card went for less than 5k at the SCP auction, so the initial buyer flipped it for a nice profit. Will be a little tougher go for the dude with the jammed 5 key.
I thought I remember it going for close to 5k like you posted. That is awesome that he flipped in just a few months for double what he paid. Nice buy and score!!!
I think OP may be insinuating that liv2mow bought the card from pietrzaj to try to flip it for more than $10k, and if he can't within the 45-day window for Buyer Protection, he will file a case against pietrzaj and get his money back.
What am I missing with that grade? The edges are like chewed finger nails (except the top) and the tilt? Are all the young gems soft 10's? I've gotten cards back in 8 holders that are better than that!!!

Where the heck was he when the bidding was going on at SCP? Could have saved a few bucks.

OPC cards during this era that are pulled from the pack typically have what they call a "rough cut" which is actually fibers from the cardboard that come out past the actual edge of the card itself from underneath that top layer on the card. I feel more comfortable as a buyer if I see the rough cut as I know that the card likely came straight from a pack rather than being sheet cut.

The guy lists the card for 55 grand but can't correctly scan a card! Who in their right mind would bid on a high dollar card with a scan like that? I get blinded with scans like that. I have passed on $20 cards that I wanted because the seller didn't provide a proper scan.

Edited to add:
Maybe not $55K, but $10K is much more reasonable.
