csmtampa · October 19, 2009 12:04AM

This guy should go get an education.

"C-7 to C-10 jem pop a collection well carred for"

csmtampa · October 19, 2009 12:05AM

lsutigers1973 · October 19, 2009 12:06AM

who doesn't want to prove they have 4.5 million dollars and then meet a stranger at their bank!

Father living in NY: "Son, I want you to sell my baseball and football cards for me on eBay".

Son living in PA: "No problem, Dad!"

Father living in NY: "Do you know anything about baseball and football cards, like their conditions or values?"

Son living in PA: "Nope, but I'll certainly give it a whirl!"

Father living in NY: "Sounds great! Here's what I've got ...."

Son living in PA: "Looks like ya got close to $5 million worth, Dad!" ... "How 'bout we start it off at $250,000 with a buyin' price of $4,500,000?"

Father living in PA: "Okay, but only if the buyer can prove he's got the money!"

Son living in PA: "I'm one step ahead of ya, Dad. I'll update the terms so that the buyer will have to meet 3 criteria before he gets the cards!"

Father living in PA: "Oh, and don't bother taking any photos or scans of the cards. If anyone is interested in seeing the cards, heck, I'll just hop on the next flight out to show them the cards myself, for that personal touch!"

I love nice crisp cornes. Crispy cornes is really good if you put in on the grill and heat it up.

There are 580 total cards listed in his auction. That would be an average of $431 per card at his minimum bid of $250,000. I can't imagine anyone burned any of their brain cells creating that auction thinking someone would actually bid.

lsutigers1973 · October 19, 2009 1:39AM

I count 18 misspelled words before you even get to the inventory of cards.

hammered · October 19, 2009 1:43AM

Wonder what is the listing fee on a $250,000 starting bid?

nam812 · October 19, 2009 1:48AM

<< Wonder what is the listing fee on a $250,000 starting bid? >>

$4

He correctly spells all of the most difficult names from that era yet he incorrectly spells (Mantel) & (Yankeys).

Appears he is trying to use the seller psychology that he doesn't know much about sports or cards and he is ripe for the picking!

P.S. "camera flash might hurt the cards"--that's a new one.

hammered · October 19, 2009 2:04AM

I've obviously never started anything that high.

Morgoth · October 19, 2009 2:30AM

Interesting idea about the misspellings being on purpose. However, I would think trying to do this on a smaller scale, like 1 - 5 K would actually have some chance of success. This one has 0.00% chance of any success.

C-10 jem pop:

A delectable new flavor of popsicle. A tasty frozen treat.

C-10 Jem Pop Popcorn, "the kind momma use to make".

Bunker · October 19, 2009 4:09AM

"Yankeys"

That made my head hurt

stevek · October 19, 2009 4:24AM

He spells Red Schoendienst correctly yet misspells Mantle a number of times.

BugOnTheRug · October 19, 2009 4:29AM

<< The year is the latest year i could find on card. >>

Total newbie, con artist, or clueless. Take your pick, although clueless could refer to both.

stevek · October 19, 2009 4:33AM

<<< Unfortunatly I did not take pictures and my dad did not know if a flash would damage them so he told me no flash photagraphy and absolutly no handeling the cards or removing them from their sleaves. >>>

This seller is familiar with procedures at art museums and so then must be a fine connoisseur of baseball cards.

SidePocket · October 19, 2009 6:48AM

Hey, this is a great opurtunity guys.

fur72 · October 19, 2009 6:57AM

Im really interested in seeing these "tops" cards.

ElToroLoco · October 19, 2009 8:13AM

The C-4 to C-10 grade refers to the grading of Action Figures. It's essentially the same as PSA-4 to PSA 10 with defects(bent corers,creases,blister damage reducing the overall grade.

Otherwise, it's true about flash photography, taking a picture of cards that old can turn the cards into dust!

jswieton · October 19, 2009 9:04AM

I hate when I damage my cards from taking to many photos using flash photography. What’s even worse is when I use my scanner and it puts creases in my cards.

bjbrall4 · October 19, 2009 11:43AM

He says one of his cards is a 1950 "Tops". Maybe I should cash in some of my dimonds, rubbies, and emerals to pick this up.

JTB · October 20, 2009 2:27AM

He changed the grading scale to PSA8 - PSA10.

CDsNuts · October 20, 2009 2:33AM

This auction is outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.

edit- dammit, tuna stole my joke before I came up with it.

saucywombat · October 20, 2009 9:21AM

OK - Who here is responsible for this hoax?

stown · October 20, 2009 9:32AM

Sometimes I really don't understand you hatters. I'm sure this auction is legit, so bid with confidence and bid often.

<< Their is one card that is a c-4 it is the only one and it is Dodgers Southpaws >>

Warning: Card may explode.
