Is this Ebayer offering My Aaron card?

Mikefromchester · January 31, 2007 7:08AM

This appears to be my card this Ebayer is offering. Do you agree and if so is there anyway I can warn the bidders?

Thanks, Mike

Different cards. Yours has a nick just a little down from the top left corner in the left border that the one on ebay doesn't have.

brianwintersfan · January 31, 2007 7:19AM

I have to disagree with you jimq112. Those look to be the same to me.

onlyanumber · January 31, 2007 7:26AM

I just asked the seller what number his card is. Lets see if he answers

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · January 31, 2007 7:29AM

I say same card as well. Both have same jersey patch piece and auto cut off looks same. I asked seller what number /10 it is. Id email bidders and tell them and contact ebay. Report it !!!!!

Elemenopeo · January 31, 2007 7:31AM

Hard to believe the two sigs could match up that well and not be the same card.

absolutely the same card! look at the patch!

ldferg · January 31, 2007 8:01AM

where would they have gotten the picture from?

baseballfanatic · January 31, 2007 8:03AM

Same card same holder. Better contact ebay before someone gets bilked.....

storm888 · January 31, 2007 8:18AM

Maybe he just "borrowed" the picture, and is actually selling
another card.

His FB looks reliable, but there is not much longevity there.

The cards look the same to me.

jimq112 · January 31, 2007 9:04AM

I think I changed my mind, I was looking at the edges of the card and not the GU part. If he is scamming it's scary, some big $$ items in his
165 current auctions! Kind of a lot of auctions for a guy with 100 feedbacks.

Look closely at his auctions, specifically the pictures. Many of them are digital pictures (not scans) taken with a wooden table in the background. Others are a mix of various scans and other pictures. Why aren't they all the same? Don't most sellers either use a scanner or a camera, and not some combination of both?

I'm just saying...

storm888 · January 31, 2007 9:42AM

The seller has sold alot of similar modern cards.

Mikefromchester · January 31, 2007 9:44AM

I also believe this bonds/arod/pujols is my card as well,

Have you contacted ebay?

Mikefromchester · January 31, 2007 10:17AM

Yes I sent Ebay a email on my concerns.

Thanks, Mike

That will get him suspended from eBay for auction interference. Yes, contact eBay. No, do not contact bidders--

storm888 · January 31, 2007 12:14PM

I have no inside info.

I think the guy simply "borrowed" some pix.
I think he actually has cards for sale, LIKE the
ones in the pictures.

It is not reasonable that the seller would mess
up his biz to sell a few imaginary cards. He has
obviously been doing OK selling actual cards.

The last time I complained about somebody
stealing my pictures, T&S asked me to prove
they were mine.

Sales of cards and watches in past 30-days.

onlyanumber · January 31, 2007 10:31PM

No answer yet from this seller about the number his card is...

stown · January 31, 2007 11:02PM

Yet another reason why you should never post pictures of expensive cards without some type of watermark, name, or PSA number covered.

What a shame.

Stingray · February 1, 2007 12:55AM

I would say they are the same, based on the patch included. Would not think you could have exact same cut of patch on two different cards. How would this person though get a picture of your card. Did you recently purchase it of Ebay??

jskirwin · February 1, 2007 1:44AM

I did a comparison in Photoshop by pasting one image over the other, and then making it slightly transparent.

The sigs and the patches are perfect matches.

BTW, Mike: You need a better scanner...

tanzanite · February 1, 2007 4:38PM

Yes,
exactly the same card. Not only are the signatures and the plastic holder identical, but the shadows behind the plastic holder are even identical.

RANDYMOSS84 · February 1, 2007 6:26PM

he has a ton of HIGH end autos up.. my friend was bidding on the mccutchen auto from bowman chrome aflac and i linked him to this thread.. He thanks you all.

onlyanumber · February 1, 2007 9:30PM

Still no answer from this seller as to the number on the card. I guess if enough people report this item to Ebay, maybe they'll boot it...

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · February 1, 2007 11:30PM

I asked seller question when you did as well. No answer.

Mikefromchester · February 3, 2007 1:17PM

This is the reply Ebay sent me and it appears they just gonna let the auctions run
The 06 ALBERT PUJOLS BARRY BONDS ALEX RODRIGUEZ AUTO # /18 $840.00 is over.

Thanks Mike

Right...

So if I walk into corporate leasing office, and report that one of their lessees is selling stolen goods - even going so far as to show them proof - that they are not party to a crime?

Wow...

Where's Ebay's legal department located? New Jersey?

RANDYMOSS84 · February 4, 2007 9:29AM

Mike- So lame, ebay just wants his fees, likely is racking up a HUGE bill with the ending prices and paypal fees... Ebay is making a killing off of him.

cavalier · February 4, 2007 9:55AM
