Good Morning,
Please continue my edumacation all!!

Auction # 110435390996

Still learning, so besides some of the obvious Red Flags that jump out, what is the consensus here.
1. 1 Day Auction
2. Almost no Feedback.
3. $1200-$1800.00 card in presented condition for $400.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. Is card perhaps Real? Trimmed? Other?

Is Card out and out Fake, Reprint, or something else. How to report this to get E-Bay to remove??

The link to report the auction is under the 'other item info', which is under the seller info.

Looks like one of the newer worthless reprints.....

One day auctions usually spell FAKE!

bobbyw8469 · September 15, 2009 11:02PM

Agreed.....If I had something that nice, I would DEFINITELY run a 10 day auction, so everyone could get a chance to see it.....

Graded that is a 2k card at the least. 1 day auctions generally spell reprint.

Yahoo auctions have come to ebay.

I tried to compare a real '53 back with this one...................the scan is to small and resolution loss is to much once i zoom in. I cant tell, however seems way to good to be true to me. RUN!

I sent him a question asking if he would guarantee it not to be a reprint and here is the reply:

first 400 bucks and i guarantee to not be a reprint the card will grade out to atleast a psa 6!!!!

card is gone now. I wonder is someone pulled the trigger or if they took it down.

<< <i>card is gone now. I wonder is someone pulled the trigger or if they took it down. >>

Looking at completed auctions it's in red so if someone bought it, they did so outside ebay.

A psa 6 is a 2k card.

Why do we even worry about such nonsense?

Maybe the seller forgot that he had already sold the same card for $500 the day before!

If indeed fake this is blatant act of fraud and this seller should be criminally charged.

Seriously....what a scum of society.
