    Maybe a stolen account? Last feedback was back in 2005.

    He's from Australia, too. Which makes me all the more suspicious.

    it is incredible that ebay and/or SGC don't intervene but what is even more incredible is that there seem to be people bidding on this item (of course we have no idea who the bidders are). And, yes, love that crack.

    If you're gonna be a professional scammer, you're gonna have to do a better job than this.

    Well, apparently SGC has been notified of this. They've been getting calls all afternoon
    and they've contacted Ebay. Hopefully that auction and seller goes poof!

    I like the $8.01 shipping charge too! Need that extra penny!

    Why won't ebay remove an auction like this, but they'll cancel one with 1/1 in the title for a PSA pop 1 card??

    The latest Mantle funny... trim off 1/2 inch of the card, and call it "slightly off center"!
    Where's the other half of me Mantle?

    I dont' know-- I guess I'll never get used to the fact that this guy, whomever he is, could have literally ripped someone off here for a quarter of a million dollars and NOTHING would have happened to him. Ebay wouldn't have cared-- or at least I don't think they would have, given their track record-- so what would the buyer have done? Just take it in the shorts? And what's going to happen now that the seller has been exposed for attempting a 6 FIGURE SCAM?! Anything? Beuller? Beuller??

    The label on the holder seems to be tampered with pasted on inside the holder, the holder is sealed. However the serial number is valid

    WTF?! This guy needs a good ass kicking. No duh the serial # is valid. This guy's logic is tampered with.

    He's reported again for this one. For repeated offense, his account
    should be suspended. Hope this one does it. We'll see.

    if these scammers were smart they'd do buy it now listings with immediate payment required. they could be long gone before anyone reported them.

    The flip on that '51 is so fake it's ridiculous. And that '58 is also tragic. Laser printer?
