      << <i>The best consumer protection for coin collectors >> Well it must be PCGS...if one reads some of the other threads, one quickly comes to feel that everybody but PCGS in the coin business is a scammer or a substandard wannabe.

      A full 2 page ad in the local newspapers running on certain weekends tells you all you need to know about how much scammers like hotel buyers fleece off the uninformed public.

      You can appeal the case with PayPal, but you probably will still lose. Looking at it from the seller's point of view, their position is understandable. The item shows delivered, and they have no way of knowing that you're not a scammer. Russ, NCNE

      Right on - you did the right thing. No good you holding the bag - if the buyer is serious, he'll appreciate your attention to the details. If he's a scammer, he'll probably scream and yell up until he's NARU'd

      I don't collect that stuff, can't afford it, but I've seen them for sale for around $3500. As always be careful and wary. Too many scams and scammers. There's so many fakes out there, even with LOA or whatever.

      Wasn't there a scammer on ebay a few months back selling copies as genuine that lived in Springfield Ohio? I seem to remember them being turned in to thier local police and then was arrested and thier ebay account NARU'd.

      Well, I think somehow these scammers likely find out about a thread such as this, and it scares the chit out of 'em, and that's a good thing. BTW, phenomenal job finding the auction of the "real" card - outstanding detective work!

      I'm not going to keep baiting you, because this is SM1's post, but please, continue talking all the trash you'd like. This board would be a far better place if scammers like you were booted.

      Attractively toned coins will always be in demand. Paying insane, stupid money for toned coins is a bubble that is bound to burst, though. The scammers, coin cookers, and hype artists will see to that. Then they'll find a new fad to follow.

      Seems like we (myself included) like to point out deceivers and scammers on eBay but I just ran across this 57 Campy on eBay. Read his honest assessment. Would this be the classic case of buying the card and not the holder?
