    I bet the slab is fine, but rather the seller is using a borrowed/stolen scan

    Looks like he may have scanned it still in the graded sleeve, especially on the back.

    << <i>I bet the slab is fine, but rather the seller is using a borrowed/stolen scan >>



    Absolutely.

    Last time this card sold was in 2005 and it sold for $140,666.00 and he has a BIN for $50,000?

    I emailed them asking to see a scan with a newspaper in the background. I won't hold my breath.

    That's the sheet of plastic they insert in slabs sometimes to keep a thin card from moving around too much.

    the scans are of different cards. notice how the card is much smaller in the front scan than the back scan. i used the upper and bottom lines framing the card to compare.

    Yep looks to be two different cards. Most def a scam.

    If I had a feedback of 13, I wouldn't try to sell a 50,000 dollar card myself. Major auction house or a consignor would get you a lot more return than an eBay beginner. So that raises an eyebrow. Selling another 10,000 dollar card as well from a deal he struck with some "fellow" on eBay. I have a hunch if those other three cards come up, they will be extremely valuable cards at a nice discount hoping that someone jumps at the attractive BIN price. Is it the Steve Miller Band that says, "Go on, take the money and run?"

    So you don't think a guy with that card would use grammar like "up for sale is a beautiful babe ruth card that i bought off of a fellow on ebay actully i bought 5 cards from him and i will be selling them seperatly on ebay one at a time so good luck and happy bidding"?

    Definitely to different scans. It has 2 different flip types. The flip with the rounded red corners should have a hologram on the back right. See my Mickey Mantle example.
