Ruth contract -- Dumbest scam I've ever seen

What the ... ?

And check out his other items, too. No scans on anything, minimal description, no authentication, zero feedback. Just Buy It Now and send a money order. Uh huh.

Maybe he's trying to corner the market on fake vintage items.

no pictures on any of these, what's to discuss.... besides the fact that the contract would be a $1/2 million item for $5k.

Some of the buyer's former sellers are NARU, so at least he's used to getting scammed. Who knows, maybe he deliberately "buys" fake items to get info on the scammer.

As for that Goudey Ruth he bought, it's trimmed but it might at least be a real Goudey. Why anyone would trim a respectable EX or even VG-EX Ruth to send it to PRO, I'll never figure out.
