Re: Thoughts on a Few Cards... Jordan RC, Thomas NNOF, HG Vintage (Scans Added)
I am by no means an expert but the Jordan front looks good. The Fleer logo doesn't have the printing flaw a lot of fakes do. Of course, I'm going off old information on fake Fleer Jordans and it's certainly within likelihood that scammers have improved over the years. A high-res scan would certainly help with determining… -
Re: In light of the BST mess
Unfortunately it is going to get worse before it gets better, you know, with the economy and all spinning downward the $ needs for some will outweigh the morality of the situation. I caught and read a super thread the other day where a forum put their collective heads together and caught the guy. Our group has done this on… -
Re: I don't think I am going to purchase coins on ebay ever again.
As long as you're careful whom you buy from and how, eBay can be a veritable treasure trove. Sure, we tend to concentrate on the scammers and thieves around here, but for every one of those I'm willing to bet there are 50 purchases that go hunky dory. Picture-reading is indeed a necessary art. Some examples: Auction: In… -
Re: For Sale- Collection in this folder
I thought craigslist is full of scammers and lowballers , especially for sportscard, i saw a lot of ads like $150 for 33 goudey babe ruth , lou gehrig etc... i rarely pay attention to anything listed in the collectible section. If no local buyers, I'll take some pic and gather more information in a few weeks and repost it… -
Re: Dealer Distrust and the US Mint Product Market Boom...Cause and Effect?
I can't speak for anyone else but when I order something from the Mint I know what I'm going to get and I know it's going to be authentic. Can't get that level of trust anywhere else. Certainly there are great dealers but scammers are getting much more sophisticated. If they can fool a guy who does this for a living, I'm… -
Re: Just another Fleabay rant!
It's a joke there now, it really is. Snatching payments at will when scammers file claims, not allowing negs on buyers, the fees are ri-god-darm-diculous, and on and on and on. Once my round of selling is over in a few weeks, I'll be taking a break from Ebay for quite awhile. It is the suxor. RON FRIGGIN' BURGUNDY "Why are… -
Re: Want it now...........on Ebay
<< <i> Mostly a spam-generator. storm >> Everything Ebay does seems to get abused by scammers. This is partly the nature of scumbags and the idiots that feed them, and Ebay itself - which really doesn't give a gerbil's butt about the service it provides because it's a monopoly. Monopolies don't last forever (unless you're… -
Re: FYI beware stevenjackson39 he took my $400.00 and under bad circumstances
Yeh, you got scammed. It has happenned to me before. I do not advertise what I need anymore, scammers can smell when you are desperate to finish a set. I prefer to search out the item myself. I usually ignore emails from strangers offering me an item I need in my registry set. -
Re: bid quick
I knew Beckett's prices were largely fiction intended for entertainment purposes only. But I did not know they were now "appraising" cards. This scammer has no clue about the hobby. He can't be bothered to steal a scan or even look up the value. He's just visiting for a change of pace, check out what the fishing's like. -
Re: I think this guy needs a new grading book....
Looks real, VG details, probably cleaned way in the past. Many, Many bust halves were. To call that a VF? It's like some of the ebay scammers that show a coin with VG details, but in the title they say: 1802 Draped Bust - $50,000 and then in the description they'll say: This coin lists for $50,000 in MS 65 but you decide…
