Since I've been burned before, I wanted to ask some of the more knowledgable board members if they thought these cellos were legit?

One is a 1957 BB cello with Kaline on Top (auction # 330229158369), the other a 1957 FB cello with Tittle on top (auction # 330229155797).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Matt

    Beware of this guy, he has had more than one ID on ebay over the years, all from NC. I'd stay away, personally.

    The photos are substandard.

    Go DEEP into the seller's feedback.

    BBCE is a near foolproof place to buy sealed stuff from.
    If he does not have it on the site, call him and he will
    find it for you.

    EBAY is scamsterville.

    Even though the 1971 pack with the Munson on the bottom is enticing, this would prevent me from bidding...

    listen to grote these packs are 100% bad...i have dealt with this seller before...i would not buy

    Other pack collectors I know also don't buy from ebay sellers from that area due to a well known resealing operation with multiple alias's over the years. Flags in this case are are private sales history, high end packs but nothing graded leaving thousand$ on the table..... nuff said.

    Red flags are all over the place, I was just pointing out that those IDs are all the same Ebay account just with ID changes not new accounts

    Honestly, it makes not a bit of difference whether "some are good."

    Once somebody has questions raised about "resealing," nobody
    with any sense is going to deal with them. It is one of those things
    that you simply cannot "comeback" from. Resealers are the pedophiles
    of the card business.

    When everyone knows the extra bucks a graded pack will bring, unless Larry Frisch came back himself to sell unopened raw cellos, I wouldnt touch anyones unopened stuff (other than Steve's) on Ebay.
    Even if they "might" (even 10%) be real, I dont have that kind of money to gamble with.
    You'd be better off buying the amount in 1.00 lottery scratchoffs.
    If you hit it big, buy a graded pack...

    Buy the cards........... not the unopened pack

    It stinks that you can't trust alot of ebayers, because I would be heavy in to unopened stuff. On the bright side, the lack of trust leads to no bids, which leads to no wins, which has saved me several beatings from my wife.
